NATIONAL-"Simba."

Climaxing a thousandmile journey
into the wildS of Africa with lion hunt
that puts to shame the best efforts of
movie thrillerS, Mr. and Mrs. Martin
johnson have brought back to civiliza-
ton a Photographic record of their
experiences which reveals their interest
ing sojourn in land of enchanting
beauty.
Their cinema "Simba,'' which is being
shown at the National Theater this
week, is perhaps the best effort of its
kind ever offered the American public.
Throughout the picture with its rapidly
changing scenes, one senses the mystery
and fearfulnesS of the Dark Continent,
so ably described by Stanley, Living
stone, Rainey, Roosevelt and others.
With fine attention to the dramatic,
the makers of this film have reserved
for the final event a highly exciting
lion hunt. in which they participate
with scores of natives Their quarry,
which has been preying upon the herds
of the Africans, is finally run to earth
and killed after stubborn and thrilling
battle.
Outside the stirring action there are
scenes depicting the natural wonders of
streams, mountains, valleys and prairie,
waterfalls and an abundance of wild life
in its own setting. A record of lions
at play In their lair is particularly
notable.
To make their hazardous trip, the
Johnsons gathered an encourage of sew
eral hundred natives. caravan of auto
mobiles, camels and carts. and carried
supply of food, clothing and other
necessities apparently sufficient for
small-sized army. They took this i'm
posing outfit across rivers, over noun
tair1s and through densely-packed jungle
with an ease which should be the envy
of the most experienced campaigner.
The results of their expedition are a
tribute to their daring and an interest
ing and informative glimpse of a land
still little known to the white man.

OF blackface comedians" directing his
own fast-moving revue, and on the
screen Rod la Rocque and Sue Carol
IN that gripping photoplay, Captain

An avalanche of laughter sweeps
away care as battery of comedians
fires its broadsides of fun and dancing
and singing of a high order entertain
royalty Several clever skits are worked
into the revue, including a scene on
the Hudson night boat; courtroom
offering. in which one actor takes the
place OF judge, prosecuting attorney and
defense counsel. and a back-stage scene
in the dressing rooms, in which the
audience is given a glimpse into the
real lives of the funmakers, with the
othr side of the rainbow-the cross
threads and the stitching that go to
make the beautiful theatrical pattern
exhibited.
Wisecracks iostle one another to get
into the spotlight of popular favor. and
between Mel himself. Morey Barton
and Harry Young, Al Borde, Grace and
Coly Worth, Kay Mckay, Gertrude
Kenny and all the rest of them the
audience gets its money exchanged for
the currency of fun and laughter. It's
fast-moving show with plenty Of
punch and pep and more fun than the
proverbial barrel of monkeys.
The photoplay is a fitting companion
piece for the colorful stage production,
for it reveals an erstwhile World War
aviator, turned Raffles, who has a
chance to repay a kindness in New
York for a good deed done by his Ger

Then she didn't seem apprehensive
about what might happen here while
she was away?"
NO, sir. In fact-if I may say so
without disloyalty--her tone of voice
was quite Indifferent, sir"
Judging from her remarks about
the trunk, how long would you say she
intends to be away?"
Sproot considered the matter.
That's difficult to say, sir. But I
would go so far as TO venture the
opinion that Miss Sibella intends to re-
main in Atlantic City for month or
more"
Vance nodded with satisfaction.
