Metro-Goliwyn-May-ers drama of mystery and thrills la tha African Jangle, opens today at tha Capitol theatre. As "Dead lags' Plint, Walter Huston, la the featured role, reenacts the part he first created in scoring one of his biggest New York stage successes. ' - Black magic, a terrifying plot for rerenge, the reentment of the warlike Congo Macks against the cruel domination i a white mas ter, and the fight' of the white race against tha jangle lure, form the admixture from which this 1 strange melodrama was evolved. KeepsaXatlvca Under Spell As "Deadlegs.' Walter Huston enacts his powerful, role from a wheelchair, . bullwhlp in hand, driving whites and blacks before the erack of his lash. He wields the tricks of magic which keep tha superstitious blacks under his epell and concocts the scheme Jwhich la to trap his rival and send a white girl out to be hurled into the swamps by the natives a diabolical scheme of vengeance.

A large expanse of Jungle, with trading post and stockade, and a rlrer winding through, was built for the production. Hundreds of blacks la the grotesque paint and traditional adornments of the su perstitions African natives, take part. The cunning of the whites la holding them in subjection through their fear of "Ju-ju" or voodoo magic, is vividly shown. i 15 IT (II THY Detectives may coma and detec ts mar go, but "Sherlock Holmes" apparently goes on for ever. Despite tha success of some of Holmes' more recent Imitators, the great figure of Conan Doyle's Imagination continues to hold his place against all comers la the learts of the reading public. The head of any public library will verify this assertion and will add that there la a steady demand for Doyle's stories that deplet the thrilling adventures of the famous sleuth.
