JUNGLE DRAMA

The people in the audience moved
going fiat and Harry walked toward
his partner ostensibly to command
him to mount the trapeze. 1t was
the point at which Chino was to flare
into open revolt. but Chino only
stared duly at his trainer Under his
stage voice came Harry's whisper:
"Get mad" he hissed. You mon
key lover" With one lunge Bert
leaped free from his chain, grabbed
a knife from the table and started
toward his trainer.
Harry saw him coming and started
for the wings. but Bert cut him off
and they doubled back across the

Bert caught and tripped Ayres and
leaped upon him. and when Harry
looked up into the eyes of his part
ner he saw, not Bert the man he had
tormented. but Chino the savage ape,
untrammeled by the negations of CIV
ilization, the beast he had created.
Slowly and surely Bert forced him
down and raised the knife. For mo-
ment he held 1t poised, gloating over
the terror in the face beneath him.
And then just as he had begun his
downward thrust, out from the wings
rushed Masie.

1t was not the words that halted

terror, and suddenly he knew she

toward the stage. Take It. That's

Chino stood for a moment before
the audience and then shambled off.
Again the three appeared. Harry and
even Masie smiling. The next numb er
was flashed on the screen, the orches-

settled back.
Back of the wings Harry was re-

stage manager.

DERT went on to his dressing room
