GORILLA MOVIE,
JUNGLE MADE.
STANDS ALONE

1.-THE Gorilla Hunt" only mo-
ton picture ever made of the
gigantic man like apes called
missing links" by many scien-
lists, has been edited and titled
by Harry Chandles and Herb
Cruikshank, and is now ready for
fall showing throughout the coun-
try.
Meantime, Ben Burbridge, who
photographed the film in the
heart of the African wilderness,
lies i'll in the tropical hospital
at New Orleans endeavoring to
find a cure for the jungle fever
from which he has suffered ever
since his two-year safari in the
dank, steaming vegetation of the
Belgian Congo.
Burbridge's one hope is that he
may be sufficiently well to escort
Miss Congo" his pet gorilla,
now four feet tall, on her per-
sonal appearances with showings
of 1.-The Gorilla Hunt" film.
The capture of Miss Congo"
almost cost the intrepid hunter
his life, as when he kidnapped
her from the gorilla herd after
a hard fight which left him
SCARED for life, huge male
crashed through the jungle in
pursuit. Burbridge shot the
creature at a distance of Is feet
as is shown in the film. 1t
weighed $50 pounds and stood six
feet high. 1t is now mounted and
on exhibition in the National
Museum, Smithsonian Institution
here.
Other interesting shots in the
picture show Burbridge's exper-
fences with the cannibals of the
Congo, and with the mysterious
pygmy people only recently dis
covered. These odd creatures
stand only three feet or three feet
six inches in height. But they are
feared by all tribes because Of
their expert use of an unknown
virulent poison with which they
slay their enemies. Burbridge
bought their friendship with salt,
a much-valued commodity - and
safety-pins which the aborigines
wore pierced through their lips
and nostrils.

that most of the bad men" who

SO many old men," he said,
though perhaps many get the
the impression thta they were old
because most all of them wore
whiskers. 1t was before the days

of settlers generally displayed a

overlooked in making pictures of
that period, said the colonel, Is in
the matter Of clothes. 1T may
seem strange, but whenever there
was an important dance or gala
affair you would find the ladies
in their finery and the men in
dress suits. OF course the dress
clothes were not up to date-prob-
ably having been brought from
Virginia. or Ohio or Massachu-
sets and were of peculiar cut and
fit-but dress suits nevertheless.
A sack suit at one of those af-
fairs was as rare as it would be
at one of Washington's social
affairs today"
Also, according to Colonel
White, there was a distinction
between the people, the customs.

on the eastern and western sides
of the Missouri river. East of
the Missouri river the farmers
and cattlemen were fairly peace.
full: the bad men among them
usually settled their differences
with their fists-but west of the
river knives and guns were often
resorted to. The river seemed to
. be the dividing line for the diff
ferent types of people-just- as it
was for wild life and certain
kinds of vegetation"
However. according to Colonel
White, the types and times as
portrayed in this epic of the West,
are unusually true to fact-the
historic land rush which is the
climax Of the story. being as
thrilling as any of the actual
scenes he remembers in the
early days of Dakota.
