To-day and Thursday Excite
ment runs high in the new film
king of the Jungle" the story
of real wild mana boy brought
up from early childhood by a pack
of lions. And, although the story
deals with the tanning of the Lion
Man, at the hands of a beautiful

beasts in their native setting, and
builds narrative of primitive
power. The role of the Lion Man
is in the hands of a newcomer,
Buster Crabbe, swimming champ
ion of international renown, and is
played by him remarkably well.
Frances Dee gives a great deal of
charm to the role of Ann Rogers,
young school teacher and the only
person who can handle the. Lion
Man when he is captured and
brought to America as a circus
performer.
