Tarzan Is Loaded
With Odd Thrills

There isn't a single emotion
that you don't go all the way
with in "Tarzan the Ape Man,
which is running into its second
week at Loew's Columbia.
Full of action, lions, hippos,
elephants and alligators, the story
is just one of those things that
carries it's audience through the
whole scale of emotions.
You know Edgar Rice Bur
roughs' tale of the man of the
jungle. Of course, it isn't much
like the original, but Tarzan gets
his woman-and how she loves it!
Johnny Weismuller, the swim
ming champ, does a good piece of
mute acting and gets an opportu-
nifty to display that swimming
technique.
AS the little civilized lady who
lives in the trees with her ape
man and loves it, Maureen O'Sul-
livan is quite appealing. C.
Aubrey Smith and Neil Hamilton
supply the supporting roles, along
with mob of pygmies and gigan-
tic black men.
