Tarzan, : the mightiest man the world has ever known, h become the most talked of character in filmdom. Powerful beyond the imagination of anyvone, he slays the most ferocious beasts with ¥ where he has always lived, but the force of his mighty blows. The story of “Tarzan of the Apes” is without | doubt the most tensely interesting ad- | venture story ever conceived. It is cstimated the publishers that fully | 500,000 people have sat up most of | @ night to complete the reading of | land and shows Lord Greystoke and his wife preparing to leave for an ocean voyage on government busi- ness. While at sea the crew of the boat mutiny and a battle of consid erable magnitude takes place between the entire crew and off s of the| beat. The crew is victorious and put Lord Greystoke and his wife ashore on a part of Africa unknown to civ- lization. To protect themselves from the wild beasts that prowl through the jungle Lord Greystoke built a hut with tre- mendous doors to withstand the at- | tacks of dangerous monster: On | one occasion Lord Greystoke was | outside cutting wood. Tady Alice | was inside. From the fringe of the | woods a &low moving giant gorilla | emerged. Primeval mockery of man, . upright it stood, poised an instant— then with its terrible cry Ileaped straight at its victim. The noise at- tracted Lady Alice’s attention—rush- ing out she saw her husband in the grasp of the fierce brute. A rifle shot rang out on the still jungle alr, the crack of the shot was followed by a terrible seream and the monster lay dead. Soon hundreds of giant apes and other inhabitants of the jungle hegan to gather, brought to the spoi by the death scream of the dead gorilla. That night “Tarzan of the apes was born and Lady Alice, er strength gone from the exciting Ife sne had lived in the jungle, passed to the great bevond.
