i oA THE BEMIDJI DALY PIONFF® - _“THE SON OF TARZAN” AT . REX THEATRE ON THURSDAY " The production of a great serial photoplay such as “The Son of Tar- “gan,” which will be shown' exclusiye- 19\0t the Rex theatre, is rgre\l event in motion picture producing circles ag well ‘as of utmort interes: to theatregoers and to those who have made a study of dramatic art i~and photaplay mechanics. Some idea -as to the stupendous- i ness of the “Son of Tarzan” serial photoplay may be gained from the following -production notes, lakg\n at random from the ‘“‘history sheet” at the studios of the National Film cor- - poration of America. Over a hundred wild animals were used thruout the entire production; three of which were actually killed by the actors, following the story by | Edgar Rice Burroughs to the most minute detail. At times five motion picture cam- eras recorded the action, especially during the swiftly-moving and fur- jous jungle combats between men; and beasts. Ten special animal trainers, one for each group of bessts, were at all times at the call of Director Harry J. Revier. Five actors were seriously injured during the filming of marine scenes on the Pacific ocean. ) v The entire cast of principals was “hand-picked” with due regard to . their ability to “take chances” with death. The author, Edgar Rice Bur- roughs, was present practically at all times during the production of “The Son of Tarzan.” EILETN PERCY COMING TO ) REX IN COMEDY TOMORROW | Eileen Percy:is coming to town | in her mewest.

Craigen loses no time in snatching her off, struggling, to -his hunting lodge in the fastness of the Adiron- dacks. There he proceeds togive Helen a lesson in primitive emotion, and soon succeeds, thru his brusque wooing, in winning her love.
