TARTAN OF APESn
 AT BEST THEATRE

Pine Bluff will get distinct thr;ll tomorrow and Tuedsay with the pro- duction on the screen of the aston ishing story of "Tarzan of the Apes'' when this wonderful -photoplay starts Monday.
 "The New York Times in speaking of "Tarzan" says: The daring plot was unfolded with such realistic ef- feet that the audience which over flowed the Broadway Theater burst into enthusiastic acclaim at the many startling situations caught by the camera in the heart of forest in widest Brazil. Of course the novel that set the world by the ears was built around a plot laid in Africa. But the moving picture artist who screened the production last night had all the settings necessary for the scenes from the vigorous ele- phant which pushed over tree that stood in his path to the widest of lions, tigers, jaguars, crocodiles, mon keys, apes, chimpanzees, gorillas and what not. The wild animals fig ured all through the production from the first act to the finish, and the way they were introduced at times gave such shock to the audience as to cause an uncanny sense of fear In the foyer on entering there were some trained apes and stuffed fig ures of other denizens of the forest, which were doubtless intended to be psychological preparation for the treat to come inside. But that stunt, while amusing, was really unneces- sary, because the pictures themselves were so daring and natural that not even the famous Rainbow films ap- preached them.
 "The story of Tarzan is so we'll known that it is needless to call it into this review. It did not seem im- possible to catch in action in the jun gles this strange personality of the fancy of Edgar Rice Burroughs. And yet the picture went the range of the extraordinary developments of the story. The scenes included the meet ing on shipboard. the battle between cannibals and white men, the fight to the death between Tarzan and the lion, and the no less thrilling strug- gle with the gigantic negro chieftian.

GERMAN HOLD ON FUR INDUSTRY IN
 J. $. IS BROKEN
Alien Property Custodian Seizes Business, Sells it
 to Americans.

Washington, June 1.-Another ten tacle of German control in American industry has been servered by A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien property custodian.
 Under arrangements now being completed between the custodian and the Fur Merchants Credit Association of New York City, the interests of the German fur barons of Leipzig will be purchased by American mer- chants and the money paid turned in- to the United States Treasury to be held until the end of the war for the Germans involved.
 In announcing today the forced re- tirement of German interests in the industry, MT. Palmer said even rough estimates of the enemy holdings can not be made until all the fur dealers have reported balances due the Ger mans.
 "It may be stated, however, "said the custodian, "that the negotiations just completed will root out forever the last German dollar invesed in the fur business in this country, turn loose the American furrier from the control of the Leipzig cabal and es- tablish great new industry here in America.
 Some of the larger firms which have already readjusted their hold ings under the agreement of the gov ernment are the Theoder, Thorer Company, Gaudig & Blum and M. s. Elias, Jr, Inc, among the best known fur houses on this side of the Atlantic. Many others are in process of readjustment, including Otto Erler Company, Fuchs & Company, Inc, and Eisenbach Brothers.
 Before the war the trade of Am erican furriers was practically noth- ing but a collection and shipping ag- ency for the Germans. Almost ev cry pelt taken by American trappers had to go to Leipzig before it could be sold. Leipzig dressers and dyers were the best in the world. None could compete with them. Although London was the worlds market, byI reason of the pioneer work of the old Hudson Bay company and far-sight. ed English commission houses, three quarters of the fur shipped to London from America, Russia and even China went, after the auctions, direct to Leipzig for dressing and dyeing.
 At Leipzig each year after the fur was prepared and the German mer- 1 chants had fixed the price for that year, Americans were allowed to pur- chase as much as three-fifths of the entire fur produced for manufacture into garments, although in so doing they were forced to pay the original cost, plus the expense of dressing and dyeing, plus a handsome profit for the Germans, plus thirty cent, duty before they got them back home. They were constantly either indebted to the Germans or complete ly under their domination"
 MT. Palmer said American fur dye- ing houses now are operating in New York and that in St. Louis the at- tempt has been made successfully to dye seal skins, which previously had

never been done outside of Leipzig and London. Fur auctions also have been undertaken successfully both in St. Louis and New York.
 "When the war is over," MT. Pal mer concluded, Germany will again buy American furs, but these goods will be bought in the market this time, from American firms, and they will be American dressed and dyed, and prepared for European con- sumption. The unnatural trade condi- tions which forced Americans to ship certain furs abroad, to buy them back and to re-ship them to America will have disappeared, and Germany will be the loser"

Music
Oliver Denton Renders Pleas
ing Programme on Piano
at Aeolian Hall

Oliver Denton, who has been heard
here in the past, played an imposing
programme of piano music yesterday
sfternoon III Aeolian Hall. He is de-
cidedly one of the more than capable
pianists of whom New York hears so
many dozen each season. He possesses
Il fluent technique, marked analytical
power, a cool and sound judgment, a
touch which is at times of unusual
lcveliness and real feeling for poetic
beauty
His playing Of the Chopin sonata in
minor has doubtless been surpassed
in brilliance, but the work is not often
played with a more sympathetic ap-
probation Of its poetic content, with a
more satisfying feeling for design and
proportion. Mr.. Denton's interpreta-
ton of the Largo was creation, and
the finale, under his fingers, became
splendidly eloquent.
Harry Rowe Shelley's manuscript
suite in B major, which Mr.. Denton
played for the first time in New York,
is filled with many graceful conceits,
but is quite lacking in any satisfying
design. and is weakened by it's ill-as-
simulated accretions of styles, modern
istc and exotic, obviously foreign to
is composers technique. Pieces by
| Beethoven and Schubert opened Mr..
Denton's programme.

Opera
That's Is Repeated at the
Metropolitan Before
Large Audience

Massenet's "Thafs" was repeated last
night at the Metropolitan Opera House
before large and gaping audience.
The latter quality was brought forth
in the first act, as it will be brought
forth again next week at the Lexington
Opera House when Miss Mary Garden,
New York's original Alexandrienns. will
display her conception Of feshly lowell
ness. 1t will then be interesting to
note whether Miss Garden has entered
into q contest with Nine. Farrar as to
the correct amount of undraping the
character requires. Nine. Farrar's ideas
are limited at present to her right side
as far as the waist. Up to this point
Lady Godiva is quite equalled.
Perhaps Miss Garden, who has a con-
genital dislike to being surpassed, will
take in the left side all well. We
shall see what we shall see.
Nine. Farrar was in better voice last
night than at her opening performance,
which virtue. unfortunately, did not
extend to Mr. Whitehill. Yet for Mr..
Whitehill's superb impersonation and
srystal cnunciation, his vocal short
comings can be forgiven. Mr. Diaz has
improved his Nicios, and now gives
life-like conception of a Greek volup-
tuary, besides singing the music with
good style il with somewhat reedy
voice Mr. Rothier's Palimon has dig
nifty, and Miss CALI lifts by her limbs
into the region of art the otherwise
stupid ballet music. Mr. Monteux con-
ducts with suavity if not with force.

Addressing two thousand workers
who are striving to enroll fifty thou

Jcwry edo it's Bit" Mr.. Schif said:
"We want to reach the people Of the
great East Side. l do not use that
term in it's strictest geographical sense,
for to my mind the East Side extends
to The Bronx. These people have not
yet given sufficiently to the federation.
1t is to them we must look for mem
bers. The great masses of the Jewish
population of the city must back u.s."
II know this class may not be so
largely represented here this afternoon,
but l hope that we will reach them
through the press. l want these people
to understand that our eyes are upon
age our institutions, but they must
show, too, that they support them also
to the greatest extent they are able.
Must Be Truly Democratic
"And then there is one other point
I would bring home to you. If we want
to succeed in the management of our
Jewish institutions We must have di-
rectors from all classes of the Jewish
population. We must be truly demo
cratic.
