Kongo. 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.
Virginia Bruce, who recently
became the wife of John Gilbert,
la the white girl to be sacrificed.
Conrad Nagel Is the derelict Eng
lishman, a doctor, who seeks to
save her.
Lnpe Teles, as the Portuguese
Ctrl who is the slave of the par
alyzed white witch doctor'a"
whims, has the type of role at
which she excels. C. Henry Gor
don, who was so forcefnl in trap
ping Greta. Garbo In "Mata Hart."
has a robust dramatic role la
"Kongo." William Cowen direct
ed tha production from Leon Gor
don's adaptation of the play which
Chester DeVonde and Kilbourn
Gordon wrote for the stage.
AU the action of "Kongo" takes
place in the swamp and fever In
fested Jungles of interior Africa.
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.

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.
A new "Sherlock Holmes
comes to the Grand theatre today
with CUve Brook In the title role
and Miriam Jordan portraying: tha
leading feminine role. Miss Jordan
Is from the English stage and re
cently won wide acclaim for her
performance In "Cynara" on
Broadway. She la now under eon-
tract to Fox films and made her
screen debut hi "Six Honrs To
Uve," oppotlte Warner Baxter
id John Boles.
The rolo of Morlarty." the
arch enemy of Holmes, is enacted
by Ernest Torrence. Others In the
alrong east are Alan Mowbray,
Montague Shaw, Arnold Lucy,
Howard Leeds, Luclen Pzival
Boy D'Arcy, Stanley Fields, Bran
don Harst, Eddie Dillon and Rob
ert Graves.
Tha picture was directed by
William K. Howard who transfer
red to tha screen such outstand
ing successes as "Transatlantic1

One-Reel Picture Explains
New Economic Theory
In Graphio Form
Technocracy, the newest ef
many new economic systems that
are being offered to care the Ills
of the present widespread econom
ic depression, has reached the
talking screen in e one-reel f le
ture, which has just been pre
dueed In Hollywood, and will be
an added attraction at the Elsi
nore today.
Technocracy, said to be the de
velopment of a group of outstand
ing economists and engineers, pro
poses to offer the equivalent ef e
820,009 a year income to every
family in the United States, In re
turn for an eight-hour working
week for all the men between the
ages of twenty-four and forty
five. It is the contention of the
Technocrats, as ths proposers of
Technocracy have styled them
selves, that machinery which has
been responsible for all the over
production that has precipitated
every depression, or panic, can,
under Technocracy, be made to
supply the luxury and leisure that
should have been the aim of civ
ilization. "Technocracy" presents tha the
ory of Technocracy in a simple,
graphic form that is expected to
be as Interesting and illuminating
to the layman as to the economist.
