KING OF THE JUNGLE
FIGHTS CIVILIZATION
Amazing Story Is Told in "The Ro-
nance Of Tarzan" which Will Be
Seen at the Augusta House for the
First Three Days Of This Week
Ever since the Augusta Opera
house re-opened three weeks ago
with the wonderful film spectacle
"Tarzan of the Apes" people have
been wondering just how the great
white king of the jungle solved the
problems that faced him when he re-
turned to civilization. Those who have
read the startling story by Edgar Rice
Burroughs know the difficulties the
ape-bred man faced. For the first
three days this week, these will be Of
fered at the Opera House when The
Romance Of Tarzan." the sequel to
"Tarzan of the Apes" will be given.
Great and interesting as was the
first production, it really cannot COM
pare with this sequel. In this Tarzan
returns to the haunts of men. The
whole production is said to be the
most successful effort yet made in the
films to combine 4 massive scenic
spectacle with an absorbing and
closely knit dramatic plot.
In this story. the white King of the
Jungle comes to America to find the
beautiful girl he had saved in the jun-
gle. While walking over a California

STATE HOUSE
Meeting Of A. N. Wednesday. May

The Public Utilities Commission
has notified the Cumberland County
Power and Light Co. that sufficient
grounds exist for a public hearing in
the matter Of the company supplying
light and power service to the people
of the Dry Mills section on the road
between Gray Corner and Poland
Springs. The lines Of the company
do not now pass directly by the prop
erty Of these people. but are said to
pass sufficiently near so that it is
reasonable that the company be re-
quired to extend its lines SO that
such service may be rendered. The
prospective patrons petitioned the
commission to investigate. issue the
necessary orders and establish a rate
or term under which service may be
given.

Of Lem Beeson, Hart has a character
wins the six shooter championship at
a western rodeo and attracts the at
tention Of Gregory Collins. the presi-
dent Of a big railroad whose safe has
been repeatedly robbed. Collins gives
Lem a Job as night Waterman in
Chicago. and from then on, things be-
gin to happen. In the course of
events, Lem cleans up about the
whole Of the Windy City underworld
At the same time. he mixes bit into
society. His awkward manner and
strange attire make him the center
of much attention and goodly
amount Of ridicule. He does. how
ever. attract the attention Of Collins
pretty niece and she proves a good
friend to him in his mental distress.
Then he feels the call Of the West
and ostensibly resigns to leave the big
city. Before he goes, he gets after
the crooks in earnest and soon has
them gathered in. Collins is so
pleased that he stakes Lem and his
niece to ranch out West and there
tney go 10 De happy.
In the course Of the play, there are
some stiff fights and mighty tense
situations. Hart also has a mighty
good chance to show his peculiar tall
ents while in his bashful way he en-
dears himself to theatre patrons more
than ever. He is given most able
support by Jane Novak and mighty
good company. 81,
Episode No. 9 of THE Lure of the

today and this proves to be one Of
the most interesting in this mighty

mountain trail, he hears some outlaws
plotting to capture Jane, the girl Of
his choice and to hold her for ransom
at an unsavory dance hall. That
night. Tarzan visits the hall. over
powers the whole crowd and rescues
Jane. Things seem to be moving
right for him to stay with civilized
people and assume title that is his
by birth. Another man, however, at
tracted. by the beauty and the mil
lions Of Jane, matches a story to COM
promise Tarzan. Jane hears this and
believes it. She turns from her BEN
efactor and he. broken hearted with
the ways of civilization, returns to
his jungle home.
At this point, La Belle Odine who
has been attracted by the primitive
strength and power of Tarzan. tells
Jane that the story. about the ape
man is wrong and advises her to fol-
low him to the ends of the earth II
necessary. Jane decides to do so,
goes to Africa and there in the fast
ness Of the jungle the troth of the
two is plighted where they first met.
So powerful and compelling is the
story of 1.-The Romance Of Tarzan"
that scene succeeds scene in a way to
hold the spectator breathless. Some
of the pictures offered are of such
grandeur that it is like looking into
the very heart of an African jungle.
All kinds of wild beasts are shown.
but standing out among them all. is
Tantor, hugh elephant whose in
telligence is almost. human.
The cast Of characters for THE
Romance of Tarzan" is a most capa-
BILE one. Elmo Lincoln again makes
a decided hit as Tarzan while Enid
Markay is as effective as ever in the
character of Jane Porter. Thomas
jefferson, the son of the famous Tom
is seen in the play.
THE Roma1ce of Tarzan" will be
given for the first time in Augusta
this afternoon at the Opera House
and will be seen each afternoon and
evening for the first three days Of this
week. Judging by the interest shown
in the first part Of the screen version
of Edgar Rice Burroughs story. there
will be unusually large audiences to
witness this sequel which is even bet
ter than the first part.-Adv.
