"The Romance of Tarzan, "

zan of the Apes" will be given
at the Laclede theatre Saturday
night, and you will also get a
chance for the big turkey to be
given away on Friday night, De-
cember %. You rem mber the
closing scene in the picture last
Saturday night.
Reunited in heart, but separated
by cen uries of breeding, prim-
tive Tarzan and the society girl
he loves embark upon a court
ship which horrifes her friends
and brings bitter humiliation to
both. Entirely without gile, the
bra fellow becomes the easy
victim of a beautiful adven-
turess, who both loves and seeks
to destroy him rather than see
him another's. At last realizing
the hopelessness of his predica-
ment, Tarzan breaks into a mad
jungle rage and runs amuck at
a fashionable gathering, wreak-
ing his vengeance upon the
society he has learned to hate.
Broken-hearted at his out
burst. his sweetheart sends him
awayLhe returns to his jungle
to find all changed and himself a
stranger to his former animal
ntimates.
No, this isn't the end--see the
picture. J
