One Of the most exciting bits of
motion photography ever taken is
that Of fair angler weighing los
pounds landing a "Silver King

A trip down the Andes, a novel

characterized bY unusual spirit.An-
other featured act is the one pre-
sented by Long Tack Sam and his
Chinese troupe of wonder workers.

laughter as the comedy of Oscar
