BEASTS OF THE JUNGLES
The Arcade theatre offers for to
day and tomorrow an exceptionally
strong wild Animal picture in which
the actors appear Jn scenes with a
lion, tiger, elephant parrot and mon
keys. ;
The story revolves about an Amer
ican engineer, whose daughter rides
off on an elephant and ia lost in the
jungle. The. little girl, after wan
dering fa the Junge, finds "herself sud
denly staring Into the fiery eyes of a
snarling and spitting tiger. A num
ber of very Interesting scenes follow
In which the parents make frantic ef
forts to locate, their child. , In the
meantime the little girl makes friends
wkh the tiger and becomes Its star
boarder. The parents come upon the
scene and, complying with the plead
ings of their daughter, take the tiger,
Into the family. The scene shifts
from India to Africa, where the amor
can engineer w commissioned to
build a railroad across the Transvaal.
The tiger, of course, goes along with
the family. In Africa, among other
scenes, a lion attacks the house and
the climax Is capped by a senstional
struggle between a man and the beasf.
Eventually the lion Is burned In a
trap. ....
The program closes with Poole &

Thanbouser comedy,.
