Notable photographic effects were obtained by the camera men who filmed "The Revenge of TarZan," the thrilling adventure story by Edgar Rice Burroughs that shows at the Elm press theater for the last time tonight.
 In the jungle episodes Tarzan is shown springing from tree to tree with the agility supposed to have been ac- quired by his upbringing in the forests. These flashes in the treetops were taken from all angles and locations, including an airplane that hovered breathlessly near the tips of the trees. Desert scenes afforded camera food, and, like all that arid background food, that, improperly assimilated, might have brought on film indigestion. But thanks to what must have been care full eyes on the lookout for flat-light, the desert footage is highly palatable.
 Then there is the :'water stuff. " There are scenes made from every conceivable corner aboard big liner; there are the incidents photographed in the lifeboats; and there are the close-ups and the long shots of such exciting moments as the fire on a yacht, the throwing overheard and the escape of Tarzan, and the vicissitudes of three other characters in their fight for life in mid-ocean.

On the way in the Cossacks passed some of our wagons, but as soon as they learned who they belonged to they gave orders that the wagons were not to be touched. Sarof also told his band that onyone who went to the Ameri- can warehouse would be shot.
 When they rode into town they were led by this woman, one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. l suppose she had charge of the women in the band. They were Gil dressed in sheepskins and rode splendid horses. There was no sign of famine among them, and I learned that they raided the country at will for food and other supplies, and that everybody was afraid of them.
 "The troops put up fight, but the cossaks killed about fifty of them and then rode unmolested into town. They rifled all the government ware houses and took the little reserve supply of food. The chief wanted to see me and I wantd to talk to him, but my interpreter had been praying constantly since he heard they were coming and that left me without any one who could speak English. I did see the woman, however. and she was worth seeing, although while I was watching her it seemed that I must bee at melodrama and that I really wasn't true. After they had patrolled the streets untildark they went off, taking their wagons and and loot with them"

RENTS OF RICH MAY
 FALL IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, March 17.-Rents in New York will come down in the year 1922-for the rich, but not for the poor. .-.
 This is the consensus of opinion among New .York's builders and real estate men, who are sorry to have to smash the, popular illusion that the rent break will be in direct ratio to the price of the apartment. The day of the $3O-a-month steam-heated flat is gone forever, they say, In fact the only apartments that will come down appreciably in price, according to ex' pert opinion, are those in the class of 5000 year or more.
 The firm of Pease &5 Elliman, which offers the most optimistic of rent prog | nostications, believes that the drop may even touch the class of homes renting at s1,2OO year. About the only ray Of hope held out by the real estate experts Is that il the steady building of new apartments l is continued for eight or nine years there may be a return to the near.nor'
