Motion pictures have ‘supp}ied an unprecedented oppor- |tunity and nowadays one may sit comfortably in a velvet-lined the- atre chair and witness others un- dergoing terrific hardships or ex- | periencing breath-taking encoun- |ters with the lords of the jungle. In the new wild animal film “In- gagi” which begins showing tonight at the Coliseum theatre, there are !adventures that render tame by | comparison almost any that have | bee npreviously shown. Thrills In Every Reel There are thrills in every reel of “Ingagi,” the picture culminat- ing in the portrayal of a weird and }rantasuc tribal legend of the Con- Animals seldom seen even on the | screen are presented in “Ingagi” !in their native haunts. Battles with | lions, leopards, rhinos and a python |the ceremonial dances and quaint customs of the natives of Africa are shown in detail. One of the most amusing se- quences in the film portrays what | might be termed an animal conven- tion in Africa. First, a number of queer-looking | monkeys with crooked tails stalk i ludiercusly through the forest glade l'and finally arrive at a weird valley, | | dotted with outeropping rocks and| | stunted trees. One huge ape hops {upon a large rock as if he were chairman of the convention. A number of awkward giraffes then put in an appearance and, gather- ing in groups, apparently engage in a serious discussion of business on hand. Suddenly a loud trumpeting announces the nearby presence of ! elephants. Immediately the conven- tion is in disorder and the apes scatter right and left, ‘while the | giraffes lope at high speed for safe- ty. This scene suggests that perhaps |these queer creatures of the wild do engage in .controversies like human being. Such high-lights in “Ingagi” come | as a relief to the breathtaking thrills that abound in this amazing production. | AT COLISEUM Wild Animal Life of Africa Weird Legend { i Most people are forced to experi-| {ence their thrills and adventure in| of immense size, are depicted and | { Silent Enem lof Pitz-Paul, tand Mrs. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JAN. 20, 1931.

By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 20. — The| year 1930 was a great one for the| adventurers of filmland, and the| fruits of their wanderlust will be| served this year to movie fans who | appreciate glimpses of unknown lands and peoples. | Last year was notable for a| quickened interest in films of ex-| cal importance being the cemera record of Commander Byrd's pioneering at the South Pole. Others Worth While Other outstanding type released in 1930 | “The White | and another of Mr. | Johnson’s camers nd—’i films of the were “The Hell ventures. | Those five present a record to| shoot at, but 1931 will have at Teas! one active contender for honors ‘"i “Rango,” gontributed by Ernest; Schoedsack, who with Merriam Cooper made the memorable “Grass” and “Chang.” | For “Grass” the two penetrated’ Persia and filmed the migration® of a “lost tribe” in search of green! pastures; for “Chang” they went| into the heart of Siam and brought back vivid scenes of wild animal life. “Rango” was made in the interior of Sumatra, the equatorial island, by Schoedsack and his wife, Cooper ! having deserted pictures in favor of | aviation. The picture presents a dramatic parallel between human and animal life in the wilds. Romance Enough H There is considerable interest, | too, in F. W. Murnau’s South Seas film “Tabu,” which the director. of “Sunrise” has been making during} the last year. Two jungle romances of the more conventional type also are in store, “Trader Horn" being completed at last, and “The White Captive,” fea- turing Dorothy Janis, nearly ready for release. But for the most part Hollywood seripte are not needed to make the adventure saga “box-office.” Only one of the Schoedsack pictures, “The Four Feathers,” had a Holly- | wood cast. Fay Wray, Richard Arlen, Clive Brook and William Powell enacted a conventional drama in which Schoedsack’s exciting African shots | were used as backgrounds — and stole the picture. FILM STARS ARE MARRIED HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 20.— Kay Francis and Kenneth McKen- na, film stars, have returned home as man and wife. They revealed’ they were m ied last Saturday at Avalon, Santa Catalina Island. It is her third wedding and his first. - ee—— CASEIN PARTICLES MEASURED WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 19.— The size of particles of casein, the solid substance in milk, has been determined by J. B.

The photographic work was in charge of Paul L {Hoefler. The film differs from all other films of the kind in that it is not only a dynamically stirring record of jungle adventure—but a | continual romance of the lives, loves |and hates—jealousies and triumphs of the people of the trackless for- ests. Exploit after exploit reaches the high water mark of thr.ling dra- matic conflict—between inan and man—man and beast—man and woman in a simple primitive land where might is the rule of life, where force takes by brute strength its food and pleasure. From Mombasa on the Indian Ocean to Lagos on the Atlantic the path of the story stretches— across the black throbbing heart of he untouched Congo. Weird cus- toms, wild dances—age-old rituals of worship to the gods of fertility, of love—flame in the background, accenting the panorama of cruelly, sensuality and amazing feats of heroism. Tonight at the capital last show- ings will be made of “Whoopee,” starring Eddie Cantor, Nose Is Important | Anybcdy who thinks that eyes or |lips are important to a beantiful girl is barking up the wrong tree, according to Florenz Ziegfeld, world famous glorifier of the American tion pictures is represented by “Whoopee.” This picture, produced by Samuel Goldwyn from the stage musical smash of the same name, |brings to the screen for the first [time the results of Mr. Ziegfeld's connoisseurship of feminine beauty. And according to him, noses are the most important considerations in beauty. i What Ziegfeld Says | “Eyes, hair, complexion and fig- jure she must have, of course,” he | speaking of the ideal beauty. {“A Dbeautiful mouth is not abso- |lutely necessary, but her chin is |second in importance to her nose. |A girl may have all the other |things that make for beauty, but [she must have a good nose before she may be called beautiful. T think |son’s nose first.” | Good legs are important too, he (thinks, but in this day of longer | ekirts, the importance they had two jor three years ago is on the wane. 'For anyone who is going to do |stage dancing, an excellent figurc {cannot be dispensed with, Great Ascembly of Beauty One of the greatest assemblies of feminine beauty ever seen was gathered together for this Goldwyn Ziegfeld production of “Whoopee." Five thousand applicants were in-| terviewed, comprising the prize beauties of Hollywood and New York, the centers of beauty in a nation known the world over for beautiful women. The combined expertness of Samuel Goldwyn and Florenz Ziegfeld was a guarantee | of infallible selections. Then the cast had to be properly equipped. Many of the costumes designed by John Harkrider, in charge of costuming “Whoopee,” cost well to- ward a thousand dollars and had to be manufactured as carefully as a wedding dress. 220 Stetson Hats The mere scale of the produc- tion produced the necessity for getting such items as 45 pairs of black and white cowboy leggings exdctly alike, 220 Stetson hats of the same make and patterns, cost- ing $50 apiece and 250 Colts re- volvers, an order which caused the Colt Arms company to wonder who was starting a revolution in South- ern California. ee——— NEW COMPOUND TO TREAT LEPROSY IS DEVELOPED, HAWAIL HONOLULU, Jan. 20. — A new | kind of chemical compound from chaulmoogra oil, which may revo- lutionize existing system of leprosy treatment, has been produced at the University of Hawaii.
