Vivid, amazing, and startling are alld adjectives to apply to this re- markable motion picture diary of an expedition made by Martin Johnson and his pretty wife, accompanied by @ hundred native guides, into the heart of the British North Borneo jungle. The Johnsons had all sorts of ex- citing experiences, from discovering an aboriginal tribe of cannibal head hunters, calling themselves Ten- garra and still using the blow pipes of pre-historic days with their Poisoned darts, to indulging in a thrilling wild elephant hunt in which Mrs. Johnson very nearly lost her life when the infuriated animals charged her camera. ‘Jungle Adventures” is graphed with markable beauty sald to be able by the motion picture camera only in the South Pacific, where atmospheric conditions are unusual- ly fitted for filming. The Johnsons were months following the Kina- batangan river to its source from andakan, the British North Borneo eak and camphor wood port. Since the river ts the headquarters of hun- dreds of Malay pirates, who actually still infest the lonely South Pacific, the experiences of the Johnso could only be recorded by a@ thrill fast and furious fun? In spite of the big league opposi- tion, however, the trained seal is al- ways to the fore collecting laughs. “Freddie” is the first of the fish family to reach the heights of star- dom, but he “does his stuff" so well he has opened the way for of the seal tribe to attain glory.

It 1s said to be one of the best pictures of Farnum's long screen career, dealing as it does with the romantic days of 49. The action of the picture is laid in the south and on the trail to the California ‘gold fields. Supporting Farnum in the cast are Margaret Fielding, Bruce Gordon and William P. DeVaull, CLAIRVOYANT WILL BE WYOMING ATTRACTION Karr, exponent of modern clair- voyance, will appear at the Wyo- ming theater tomorrow as an added attraction, Rarely is the public given the privilege of seeing and hearing one who has studied the magic of the Hindus as thorough- y as has Karr who spent the greater part of his early life in India, Karr answers questions that perplex the average individual. His answers are held to be reliable by those who have associated with him in the past and have been the means of casting light on many shadowy | ways. “Ask Karr, he knows,” is the slogan of the Wyoming theater dur- ing this man's stay here.

In a statement made after the committee had refused unanimously to concede his plea against the au- thority of the investigators, he de- clared he did not desire to plead that his replies might tend to incrim- inate him, because there was nothing lin the facts relating to his Teapot | Dome lease that was incriminating. | “I shall reserve any evidence I may be able to give,” Sinclair sald to the committee, “for these courts to which you and your colleagues have deliberately referred all ques- tions of which you had any juris- diction, and shall respectfully de- |cline to answer any questions pro- pounded by your committee.” “There is nothing,” he continued, \“in any of the facts or clrcumstanc- jes of the lease of ‘Teapot Dome which does or can incriminate.” The statement then recapitulated |the operator’s previous appearance before senate committees regarding the lease and added: “Thus it appears that I have been before your committee at five ses- sions and answered all questions and produced all books and papers called for, and I was finally excused from further attendance.” Sinclair called attention to the fact that the resolution authorizing prosecuion in the oll lease cases had {been passes by the senate since his [last appearance. ‘The resolution in effect “denounces the lease between ] $75,000.
