“TARZAN THE FEARLESS”
GENTRAL THEATRE.
"Tarzan the Fearless," a thrill- Jing drama of the jungle, based on the stories of the famous ape-man is the current attraction at the Central Theatre,
Buster Crabbe, an Olympic swim- ming champion, as Tarzan, is ideal in the title role and accomplishes amazing feats and daring stunts when he engages in desperate bat. tles with the wild animala of the jungle.
A delightful romance is inter- woven in this story, of a girl whom he saves from a pool swarming with crocodiles.
