"Tarzan the Fearless" the "alm Courtnidge Success
epic of thrills and glamorous adventures is now showing at the Central Theatre with Busier Crabbe in the starring role as Tarzan."
It recounts the adventures of a smail band or whites who pen- etrated into the African Jungles the home of Tarzan. In this party are: Doctor Brooks, middle-aged archeologist; his daughter, Mary Bob Hall, who joined the party principally because he was in love with Mary Jeff Herbert, adven-, turer and ne'er do well; and Nick
Moran ex-convict.
In this trackless waste they are beset with perils, seen and unseen, that would daunt the hardiest spirit. Beasts of the jungle stalk them at every turn, daring ex- ploits and thrilling rescues succeed one another with machine-gun rapidity and Tarzan is the centre of the whirl-wind of action. 1.
Buster Crabbe as Tarzan `per- forms. Incredible deeds of ́ agility and valour in a sensational man- ner. “Jacqueline Wells in the feminine, lead is a charming ac tress and is richly endowed with pulchritude. Bob Hall is splendid in a featured role.
"STAGE MOTHER"
Showing At The Queen's
IN
Brilliantly portrayed by Alice Brady, "Stage Mother" now showing nt the Queen's Theatre, is u story of mother whose only ambition to make her daughter into a famous actress. Despite the bitterness of having witnessed the tragic death of her husband on the stagé, Kitty Lorraine (Alice Brady) in- tends to make her daughter Shirley (Maureen O'Bullivan) into a stage "star" but the way she rules over her daughter, causes many a quarrel bet ween mother and daughter, and the way in which this is finally solved helpe to make this somewhat mediocre film into a rather entertaining one,
Alice Brady, although she carries off the role perfectly, looks rather young as the mother of a girl of twenty, while the other players including such well- known names ns Franchot Tone and. Phillips Holmes have only compare atively small parts
'
The picture, however, has many. interesting sidelights such as the sing ing and dancing sequences, while the dancing of Maureen O'Sullivan is a delight to watch.
