latest of the African fiction ad-
ventures which tom toms and
claws it's way through eight

story of the perils and the hard
ships which greet medical scien-
fists in trying to isolate the germ
of sleeping sickness, (Nagana)
in the heart of the jungle with
wild black men and wilder cats
of the tropics all about.
Animals Fight
Melvyn Douglas is the doctor

siren. (Tala BirelD appears to
divide his attentions. From then
on he becomes entangled with

tentative to find the remedy for
sleeping sickness which has seized
the Zulu king or forfeit his life.
Thanks to the studio crafts
men and an uncanny skill at
catching scenes of tigers and
other ferocious beasts in angry
mood "Nagana" contrives to en-
gender a degree of excitement.
Some of the fighting looks as
though it we're ingeniously staged
but it is so cleverly done the
effect is of watching these mad
dened animals tearing at each
other and gripped in combat that
is positively thrilling.
Exciting Scenes

Perfect Diplomat

IF, however. their words
point the other way, I immedi-
ately become a Republican. I
speak glowingly of Mr.. Hoover
and lament the fact that he
was blamed for so many things
over which he had no control.
Either way, then, I cannot
lose. The Americans, knowing
nothing about me, are highly
surprised that a Czech guide
should be so we'll versed in
their politics. And they are
gratified that my sentiments
are their sentiments. My tips
leap rapidly. and everybody is
sat ;fied. You see?"
What a man!
In rapid succession, Mr..
Kwayssar and 1 visited the
Boo caccio, the Sect Pavilion,
the Tabarin. and the Cascade,
which is not as bad as it sounds.
That sounds like plenty Of
places for one night. but Mr..
KWaySsar assured me there
were many more to be seen.
Each cafe works on the same
principle. There is a dance that

there is an intermission of one

or a singer who lasts about
two minutes-and just about
lasts. at that. Following which.
the orchestra plays again for
two minutes. And so on through
the night. It's enough to drive
anybody crazy.
Since there is an entertainer

be misled. If a club employs

Best Show Ever
At Gayety

Although "the best show ever at
the Gayety" has become much
overworked phrase, nothing else
will really describe this weeks
offering nearly so we'll.
Any time you can have Jerri
McCauley and Gladys Clark on
one program, you've got a real
burlesque show of the highest
caliber. The remainder of the
cast (Which by the way is also
outstanding) seems to sense the
worth of the production and gives
it's utmost to make it a real sue
cess. Jimmie Lake ought to hold
this troupe intact for the in
augural crowds.
Although you hear talk of
Hinda WauSsau, Nora Ford,
Georgia Sothern and the like,
there is no doubt but what the
real reigning queen of burlesque
is Jerri McCauley.
Bimbo Davis and Sam Raynor
have secured Jimmy Dugan for
third comic. Dugan is the boy
who made such hit near the
end of last season and does more
than his share this week.
If for no other reason, this bill
would suffice, if it. meant only
the return of Joy st. Clair. This
charming personable young lady
is back after an absence of a
couple weeks to the satisfaction
of the large following she has
built up. Nora Murray, pretty
songbird; Ruth Bradley. another
favorite singer; Sid Gold, singer,
and straight man and Rose Marie
pint sized singer and dancer made
hit with yesterdays audience.
