Tears welled in Lady James lovely eyes, as she
beheld the sight. And Tarzan's voice was husky
with emotion as he cried: MY good and faithful
Waziri." Among the first to welcome them
home was old MUNRO "Ah, Bwana," cried the
loyal black, my old eyes are made young again
at the sight of you. Many have doubted that
you would return, but old Muviro knew the
great world held nothing that might overcome
his master. Great shall be the rejoicing OF the
Waziri this night This earth shall tremble with
cur warriors dancing feet"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-02-13

Tribal wars. Tarzan had heard, had waged
fiercely during his long absence. Had his own
Waziri warriors remained faithful to him and
their trust? few days now would bring the
answer. Hope and fear unspoken were in the
hearts OF all three. Each day Jad-bal-ja became
more accustomed to them and his foste mother
who came to accept the lion as flesh of her
flesh. As the moment came when the trail
would break from the dense Jungle Jane
Korak and evan Tarzan were filled with sup
pressed excitement.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-02-13

Would not the jungle have claimed again all
that the ape-man had cleared away to build his
home when he first came there with his bride?
Was it too much to hope that savage blacks had
remained loyal to him? At last they stepped
from the concealing verdure Of the forest, to
look out across the plain There in the distance
the outline of the bungalow stood as of yore
amid its beautiful surroundings. The huts of the
natives. and the cultivated fields. It seemed too
good to be true

| Hardly has he disappeared when, from 43rd street, slowly approaches
 distinguished-lo looking, slender and elderly man. He wears one of those | light tan derbies, trimmed by deep brown ribbon. {. The sort of hat once identified with road-show troupers. T.

 Here, for all the world, walks one of the latter-day Shakespearean players who made the circuits of the

 Beneath his arm is a small bum dle of magazines. As he ap- brooches he whips the magazines
 before the eyes of the passing
 throng. The cover reveals the
 words, "The Unemployed" "Help the unemployed actors" he chants in a voice that seems to come 1 from some point way down in his

 Already the crowd is distracted by another scene. Up Broadway is

LITTLE TRIPS INTO NATURE
 VII. Leaf.MincrS

During the summer months ahead of us, l hope you will learn new things about this interesting world. Some folk suppose they must go out into the woods to learn about Ma ture; but many facts may be learned in city.
 Observe, for example. the leaves of tree. In springtime you may watch them bud and grow into full leaf. During summer some of the. leaves drop to the ground, though most remain on the trees. Pick up a leaf and study it; observe diff ferent kinds of leaves.
 On a tree leaf or on the leaf of a plant such as the nasturtium, you may find during the summer strange markings, for example "the outline of a tiny snake"
 What causes these markings? They are the work of "leaf-miners."
 Leaf-miners are small worms, sometimes only one-eighth of an inch long. They spend most of their lives between the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
 A leaf is rather fiat, so you may be sure the leaf-miner is very thin. It has no reason to worry about reducing"
 What the leaf-miner wants is to get something to eat. It does so by eating its way ahead. As it eats, it makes tunnel and this

New York.--Snapshots on the sidewalks of New York:
 He is at least a foot or SO taller than Charlie Chaplin. But that makes no difference to the sand wich man. He wears the three im- portant properties of the great comic--the shoes, the derby and the tiny black mustache.
 Tied to his back is a sign reading that Chaplin is to be seen at a cer- tain group of theaters in the most recent of his pictures.
 Round and round he shuffles in the big triangle they call Times Square. He stops to tilt his derby at passing children. And children, with their uncritical attitude, where clownps are concerned, pipe Hello, Charley!" What difference does it make to them whether this be Charlie and it makes them laugh.
 The perambulating advertisement takes time out for moment to rest profusely to all and sundry and twirling his slender cane.
 Walking close to him, it's impos- sible to find a single feature that bears the slightest resemblance to Chaplin. Only his properties are there-mustache, cane, baggy pants, shoes and hat.
 Its been long time since I put on a Chaplin act" he confides. Re member when all over America the sidewalks were filled with imitators of Charlie? Sure I'm an actor-out of a job! Who isn't out of 8 job ? Say, out on the sidewalks I've been everybody from Harry Lauder to Richard Dix. Say, could do great mimic act on the stage if they'd give me a chance. Well, they won't so I gives 'em free show in the street. ;. Last week I was Mardi Gras clown-you know, one of those parade figures that looks as though it was walking on it's hands. Don't know what I'll be next week. ;. You never can tell in this racket"
 He tips his hat and waddles on. Two tots stop to wave at him and call Hello, Charlie!"
 
 He has disappeared in a crowd that clogs the sidewalk at an hour shortly after noon!

 London-Confident that a revival in world trade is just around the corner, economists and f1nanciers here are urging more concentrated effort toward completing rational ization of British industry in order that it may share in the prosperity that is expected to follow.
 In speeches, in lectures, in the press and on every hand industdy is warned that if it hopes to par ticipate in or benefit from the com merce boom. 1t must first be pre- pared to compete in competitive markets on equal terms with other powers. Otherwise, according to the warnings, Britain's exports must con- tinue to dwindle. her unemployment rise and she continue to languish long after the depression has passed away.

 Thus 1t was that considerable im- portance was attached to the scheme recently proposed by the 1ederatlon of British industries for the recov- cry of prosperity. It was the voice of organized industry speaking and might we'll have been an answer to it's many critics who spoke glibly of standardization without taking into consideration the costs thereof or the other causes that have crippled fac tories and placed hundreds of thous- ands of men, eager to work, on the dole"

John Barrymore in "Syengalf' to Open Three Day Engagement
 At the State Tomorrow


 A new Barrymore characteriza- tion is an event in the theatrical world and his latest surprise is masterful characterization of Sven gali' which opens a three day en- gagement at Warner Brothers State tom morrow.
 MT Barrymore's portrayal of the part brings Svengali into grim and shuddering life. The wild eyes, the wilder beard. the bony and sinister hands all help to make the power over the pathetic girl of the Latin quarter believable. But 1t Is much more than physical attributes which make the part so dominating-it is the Barrymore genius, which made his Peter Ibbetson, his Richard and his Hamlet so moving and unforget- able.
 The impressionistic sets add greatly to the uncanny quality of the story. Winding stairways, cob- webbed hooks, crooked alleys. shad- owy dives and outlandish byways, which Svengali traverses in his att tempt to escape with his victim from her persistent lover, Little Billee-are made with marvellous ingenuity The photography cannot go unmentlOneQ, one or the uOSt delicate and fantastic sequences showing the flight of thought from Svengali's evil mind to the troubled heart of Trilby. Over roofs. under caves, across water. and through storm clouds the faintly embodied idea travels, finds its victim, and then wings back on guest of wind to Svengali, who knows that he Is still the conquerorl of Trilby's will.
 Trilby is gloriously portrayed by exquisite Marian Marsh, recognized as the big screen discovery of the year. To fiower-like beauty of face and form, Miss Marsh adds rare sympathy and understanding. Her moving portrayal of the part makes it seem incredible that she is but eighteen and making her screen de- but in the character. tsa
