“The Hurricane” by Charles Nordhoff and James Hall. New York: Burt/Blue Ribbon Books, (1936). First Photoplay edition. Dustcover art by N. C. Wyeth

Coincides with the release of the film starring Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall and illustrated with scenes from the Samuel Goldwyn Production.

Set in the South Seas, the film is about a Polynesian, Terangi (Jon Hall), who is unjustly imprisoned after being attacked by a racist with political connections. Unable to bear being confined, Terangi repeatedly tries to escape, lengthening his sentence from 6 months to 16 years. He succeeds in getting out after 8 years but at a terrible price: he unintentionally kills a guard. He steals a canoe and returns to his island home after an arduous journey. He is reunited with his wife, Marama (Dorothy Lamour), and a daughter he has never seen before. As he is hunted down, the island is struck by a once-in-a-lifetime hurricane.
