STRAND.

Moore's strand Theater this week
offers one Of the most amazing photo
dramas ever made. 'TarZan Of the
Apes a perturbation Of the widely
read novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
which Is presented BY the First Ma
tional Exhibition Circuit.
This silent drama, based upon the
faneifuI tale OF the little English
child Of noble birth who was reared
in me heart of a jungle by she-aPe.
was filmed In the widest jungles OF
Brazil at a cost OF more than a quar-
ter of a million dollars. Through
many OF the scenes roam elephants
tigers, lions, and other beasts OF
the wild places, and never during the
entire length of the picture is there
an instant when the atmosphere OF
the primitive wilderness falls to exert
its fascinating influence upon the
spectator.
The cast includes such celebrities
Of the stage and screen as Thomas
Jefferson. Enid Markey, Gordon GIN
nth, and Elmo Lincolp, seen last here
as the blacksmith oCLouvain in Tho
Kaiser" Thousands were employed
In the scenes depicting the African
tribal rites and the fights between
the native cannibals and the Algerian
slave hunters. Thrilling as the ac-
tion is..it is not such as to distract
attention from the sheer beauty OF
the outdoor views.
The Strand presentation will be
given the added advantage Of special
settings and a surprise prologue.
