KING KONG" is
NOW AT APOLLO

To the modern adventurer, the
world offers no more frontiers 20
conquer. No beasts are wild enough
to provide new thrills for the rap
idly diminishing band of true SOL
diers of fortune.
Merriam G. Cooper, who with Err
nest B. Schoedsack brought back to
the civilized world those great rec
ords Of weird life, Grass" and
Chang" began several years ago to
dream such a dream.
Weaving his experiences and his
fantastic Imagination into the yarn
to thrill the true adventurer's heart.
he formulated, with the help of the
late Edgar Wallace, a movie called
King Kong" which is now on view
at the Apollo.
When such man dreams of adj
venture, he is likely to pass over fact
for fantasy, and let his vision run
riot. And that is just exactly what
Mr.. Cooper has done in his concep-
ton Of King Kong"
He has conceived a modern ro-
nance against the background of
prehistoric coloSsi. Featuring a
monstrous ape f1fty-six feet tall,
who is captured on a mysterious
island, by the aid of a beautiful
American girl and her sweetheart.
The ape is brought to New York
for exhibition purposes, and on the
night Of his first appearance breaks
loose and proceeds to wreck the city.
Fay Wray anc Bruce Cabot have
the romantic leads and Robert Arm
strong is the motion picture director,
who sponsors the expedition in
search of the giant ape. The sup
porting cast numbers into the thou
sands.
