 l intended to accept an invita- ton to New Zealand via San Fran cisco but the numerous requests by athletic organizations backed by a multitude of track and field fans made me change my plans and so I competed on the board floor, being well aware of the diff faculties l would encounter under strange surroundings without sui ficient preparation for an indoor campaign.
 I knew what I had to expect in New York and Chicago where in door competition has been de- veloped to such an art that noth- ing in the world has it's equal The large cities of London, Paris and Berlin arrange very few in door meets and it is only recent ly that Germany has shown a growing prediiection for this kind of competition.
 It was not so much lack of in terest for athletics that prevented people from holding indoor meets in Germany but a common belief of coaches and athletes that all competitors needed a rest during the winter months in order to ac- cumulate new strength for the summer season which is pretty strenuous in Europe. l am of the opinion that an athlete snouiu keep in constant training, may it be ever so slight, in order to stimulate the functions of mus cles, heart and lungs. This view is gradually penetrating in Flu rope and it will only be a matter of time that the number of Euro pean indoor meets will increase by comparison.
 Indoor competition is one of the greatest stimulants to American athletics. It has much to do with your success outdoors.

"SIM BA" HAS
THRILLS OF
JUNGLE

"Simba,'' opening at Polls last
night, boasts the most excltlns
scenes of big game ever SHOWN.
Not only does My Lord, the Ele.
phant. stalk into the very eye OF
the camera. but Simba, the lion,
sleepily bestirs himself before the
lens, stalks g. troop OF wild-beast
and at last engages in battle
royal with scores Of black and
naked spearmen.
Nor is there the slightest sus-
picion of fraud in this startling
account of African adventure. The
Martin Johnsons never stoop TO
fake photography.
Neither are the Johnsons
Wanton slayers of the African
beasts. Rather, they prefer TO
photograph the animal life and
leave it precisely as it is. Their
fascinating film narrative winds
along from Nairobi to their own
Lake Paradise, thence south to
Tanganyika and the land or th0
lion.
All of it is interesting, much OF
it is thrilling. Zebra. Gland, oryx,
buffalo and baboon come shoulder
ing down through the dust to the
water holes. In time of drouth the
hyena has his innings. And al
ways above the others looms My
Lord, the Elephant, the perfect
policeman of the blue, who let's
no lions wander in his land. There
have never been such elephants as
in 'Simba."
In Tanganyika, it seems, Simba
was having his holiday. Sixteen
huge tawny lions sun themselves
in the grass by day, at night
race forth to harry the cattle of
a Lumbwa tribe. So with spear
and shield, the Lumbwas assail
Simba, and Simba fights / tck,

G R IF F IT H. S
LAT EST AT
COLUMBIA

At 11:O1 last night, motion
picture film of no inconsiderable
technical excellence was breath
ing its last on the screen OF
Loew's Columbia, and the spark
of its life was flickering family
amid Maestro Griffith's geWgaws
and doodads.
This picture was Drums Of
Love-" the latest from the
laboratories Of the great D. w.
1t was based upon 'the historic
experience of Francesca da
Rimini," according to the fore
word. 1t was also based on the
experience of Launcelot and
Guineyere, although the foreWord
didn't mention that.
The trouble lay in the fact that
the story was about as simple
and unpretentious as a triangle
yarn can be. 1t asked for broad,
epic treatment, and the old master
instead loaded it with extraneous
detail until the poor little plot
groaned and creaked under the
load.
1t can truthfully be said, how
ever, that Griffith has not lost
his gift of making actors give
him everything they have. The
work done by Lionel Barrymore,
Mary Philbin and Don Alvarado
lin the order of their excellence)
wouldn't have been obtained by
any other director. The charac-
terization contributed by the
veteran Tully Marshall was, as
always. far above the average.
The photography and mob scenes
merit worda OF praise all their
own. And so do the love scenes
between Alvarado and La Philbin.
The camera work in Drums Of
Love- gives the picture quality,
clearness and depth seldom seen
upon our screens. The hand OF
the master director was ever evil
dent in the crowd scenes.
The story is laid in South Amer
lea. in the early days, of one of
the best centuries, when Europe
was angling for the rich posses
sions of the wonderland to the
south of Us. The personnel and
the settinl hi a decidedly Span
fish tone.
The M.-G.-M. News contains
some remarkable and thrilling pic
lures of eight aviators jumping
out of a plane. The same reel
has one of the finest continuous
action shots ever seen, in the
pictures OF the big Paris steeple-
chase. Fitzmaurice, the flying
Irishman, also was pictured.
