Exciting Africa Is
Filmed for
'Con,s3oriI|a'

The weird, mysterious depths
of Africa have been reached by
the sound camera. Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin johnson, who have given
so many different animals to
various Al er ican geological
parks, have made another ven
ture into Africa and Loew's Co.
lumbia is presenting their latest
pictured epic of the wilds, titled
"Congorilla."
Unlike other films of the Dark
Continent, this series Of logical
camera studies at close range of
beasts in their native haunts is
interesting, amusing and not a
little thrilling, and the producers
are being urged to present it to
the United States Government as
a true study of the wild life Of
Africa.
Mrs. Martin Johnson's fearless
challenge to an enraged Rhino is
one of the big shots of the pic
ture; the Safari which undertook
this expedition was the largest to
penetrate the jungles; hundreds
of porters, more than so camelS
and three motor trucks were re-
quired. Many young animals were
captured and brought back to the
States. There are scenes Of
breathless beauty, fog drifting
over mountain tops, great herds
of gazelles and flocks of flamin-
goes; mammoth waterfalls drown
ing out the sounds of the jungle.
Short subjects augmenting the
main attraction include a sports
comic featuring the Gleason fam
lily and the former Baby" Peggy,
now quite a grown young lady,
and the customary newSreel.

He Was Contented
He was contented. He was
happy. He was a rich man. He
had just won $4,000 at the
races. The depression meant
nothing to him. His business
was doing we'll, his health was
good and he still had many
dollars in the bank. You, too,
would undoubtedly have smiled
II you had been in his shoes.
Personally, I would have laughed
out loud.
AS the car bowled along, Mr..
Rogers was suddenly seized by
an impulse. He leaned forward
and addressed his capable
chauffeur.
Smith," he cried, I'm at
peace with the world. I'm happy,
Smith. Very, very happy"
Smith passed a red light
quickly.
That's fine, sir" was his
reply. I'm glad to hear it,"
Mr.. Rogers smiled to him.

Smith," he went on, II feel
in a generous mood. Maybe I
shouldn't be talking this way
TO my chauffeur-and if my
wife were here, she'd fire the
both Of us. But I'd like to do
something for you. I'd like to
make you as happy as I am.
What'll it be?"
The chauffeur took a quick
glance at his employer and
passed another red light. No,
the boss wasn't drunk. In a
genial mood, that was all. Well,
why not take advantage of it?
If you're serious. sir" was
his reply, Il can tell you in a
word. I'd like to be just as
you are, if only for day. It's
as simple as all that. And I
hope I haven't offended you,
sir"
Smith" cried Rogers, that's
q damned good idea! Well both
have some fun"
Rogers alighted at the Grand
Union Hotel. He was still Smil-
ing. He ordered his chauffeur
to put the car away end meet
him in his suite in an hour.

bowed deeply and ran to assist
the two guests. Rogers nudged
Smith.
MY boy" he said quietly,
"I forgot to tell you something.
You are Smith, the cough drop
king. I put that in my wire
to this MOTEL"
For a moment, Smith felt like
running. Then he composed
himself. He assured the man
ager that the royal suite would
do for his one-day stop, and
that a few bottles of Burgundy
well-iced would be welcome
after the tedious trip.
Rogers waited until the man
ager disappeared. Then he
took a bundle of bills out of a
wallet. He placed them in
Smiths hands.
Here" he said. "iS one
thousand dollars. You may
spend it as you see fit I
doubt that you will get rid of
it all in one day. but. if you
do. there's more to come. Just
ask for it. understand"
Eyes, sir, Frank" said Smith.
Late that evening, they were
in Texas Guinan'S place. Smith
was very properly plastered and
Mr.. Rogers wasn't far behind.
Tex and her gang were cavort-
ing all over the place when
the lady who was stopped at
the gates of Paris introduced
Smith to the crowd.
Folks" she beloved, IT
want you to meet a regular
guy from the States, Mr.. Smith.
the cough drop king. Give him
a big hand!"
Smith took a bow. Then he
took another. On the third
one he plopped down and
threw a careles arm around his
boss.
"Y'know, Frank" he hic-
coughed, you're swell guy. One
swell guy. And I like va, Frank.
I honessy do. You're grand
guy. Doom allis fine"
Mr.. Rogers beamed.
That's all right, Smith," he
said. Il told you I wanted to
make you at peace with the
world, just as I am, then I'm
satisfied. Are you happy?"
Smith grinned.
I'm so happy. Frank, I could
cry. Honess. I mean it. This
is t'grandess day of my life.
You been swell, Frankie, old
boy, old boy. old boy. You

Rogers asked Smith what
was next on the program.
Smith said he felt tired, but
he didn't want to end his
dream too quickly. Rogers
agreed that it should be pro-
longed as much as possible,
and suggested that they stop
at combination roadhouSe
near by, where he had some
business to transact with the
manager.
And that's just what they did.
They walked into the place, and
found some very charming peo-
pie there. On one side were
roulette tables. On the other
side a crowd was playing faro.
Some were shooting craps. All
were having a grand time.
Rogers introduced Smith to
the assistant manager. and told
him to see that Smith had a
good time.

Rogers said. Let him enjoy
himself. He's a friend of mine"

some girls. He drank more and
talked more. One hour later,
Rogers emerged. He asked the
assistant manager where his
friend was.
Mr.. Smith said he was very
tired, sir" was the reply. HE
amused himself for awhile at
the tables, and then went back
to the hotel. He said you'd take
care of this matter for him. He
lost $4,000 at roulette!"

 In the second case, the Barbara & D'Aurio Co seeks to purchase the property at PAP Bank street, by turning over to the receiver de- posits totaling $16,597.0b In the Merchants Trust Co and issuing a first mortgage note for $6,5Oo at 6 per cent interest.
