JUNGLE SCENES IN NOVEL
FILM FOR BROADWAY

To what lengths motion picture pro-
ducers will go to get proper atmos-
pheric detail and local color will be
demonstrated ut the broadway Thea
ter in the new ilm sensation, "Tarzan
of the Apes" which begins an indefi-
mite run at that house on Sunday
night and is to be shown twice daily
thereafter.
The National Film Corporation,
which made the production, took IA
company composed of twenty princi-
pals, directors, camera men and u crew
of stage builders to the Amazon River
district of Brazil and thence to the
interior of the Brazilian jungles, where
two months were spent making the
scenes of the story.
Six lions, four tigers and number
of panthers, wild boars and elephants
were transported to the Brazilian wilds
for use in the picture. Four lions
were killed before the camera and a
number of other wild animals slain.
Over 1000 natives were engaged, as
sembled at Manaos and transported
inland and rehearsed for three weeks
before the scenes typifying cannibal
action were staged. As the natives
spoke nothing but a Portuguese pa
tois, number of interpreters were
kept constantly on the scene and bus
lily engaged conveying the directors
wishes.
The presentation of this picture at
the H-H Theatre in Tucumcari will be
on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 30
and 81. =. See the ad. in another part

BUY W. S. STAMPS AND HELP

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, July 22-A
ringing appeal was issued today from
the Office of Hallett Reynolds, n. NJ,
Director of the War Savings cam.
paign, calling on the county chairmen
to complete their reports covering re,
suits of the big War Savings drive Of
June 2S to July l3, so that New Mex
ico's status in the great national eff
fort may be definitely known; and at
the same time asking that effective
plans be made and vigorous work be
done to follow up all of the pledges
made during the two weeks drive.
Up to the present only eleven of
the 28 counties had made complete re-
turns covering results of the drive.
Others have made partial returns, but
so incomplete as to make it impossi-
BILE to complete tabulations for the
state.
While results thus far reported are
regarded as good, it is felt that the
pledge card work may be carried very
much further in many communities.
1t is urged on county chairmen not
only to follow up the pledge cards in
hand, but also to push the campaign
for increased number and amounts Of
pledges. This, it is suggested, can be
done as part of the regular War Saw
ings routine work.
1t is hoped that within another week
all of the counties will have completed
their reports on pledge cards and n
statement covering the status of New
Mexico in its campaign for $1,000, 900
in War Savings Stamps this year can
then be made. In the meantime ev-
cry War Savings Stamp worker is
urged to redoubled effort, as it is
known that the state is still far be-
hind its quota for the year.

A bridge near Socialist" corner was

A bridge near Socialist" corner was
washed out Sunday on the Quay road.
It was hoped they could never find the
bridge and that bad piece of road
would be remedied 10y building road
another way around but the bridge
is sticking in the bank farther down
80 all hopes may have been in vain.
Outside of that piece Of road and an
other one or possibly two the road to
Ragland could easily be put in good
condition and the farmers and stock
men out that way would appreciate
it. Tucumcari would be benefited as
there aR farmers who are going to
Melrose and Clovis who would gladly
come to this place if the roads were
in better condition.
