THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1327 THE FRANKLIN PRESS PAGE FIVE k'. 11 n Friday and Saturday. September 9 and 10 ? V ft V f 5 Ernest B. &3ioedsack and(Merian.C. Cooper co-producers of .the jungle melodrama Chang' A Paramount Picture n nn N7i ri UVLJU 7 ;i7V"' hj a t i tijt I L V "Chang" Marvel Movie Is Highly Heralded! Uiang , a motion picture revealing the hazardous life of the jungle, has been brought back to America by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, who spent 22 monihs in tbe remote interior of Siam making the production, Heralded by, Paramount in such extravagant superlatives as one ot the greatest pictures of all time" "Chang" is utterly different from any photoplay ever made, in that although ferocious animals of the jungle tigers, Jeopards, elephants, great snakes and chattering monkeys are the principal actors the picture contains a basic plot, . skilfully embroidered with the conventional dramatic forms of sym pathy, struggle, menace, tragedy, pa thos and exceptional comedy, furnished by a white gibon named Bimbo. "Chang" will be presented' at the Idle Hour theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, under the auspices of Paramount, which organization fi nanced Cooper and Schoedsack in their extraordinary effort. The1 theme of "Chang" is most elemental the conflict of man against his implacable foe, the jungle, and the hostile beasts sheltered by its abun dant foliage. In. making "Chang" Cooper and Schoedsack constantly faced death, not only from the tigers, elephants, leopards and snakcsK but from chol era which took the lives of seven native members of their expedition, Schoedsack himself was stricken with a severe attack of malaria which de layed work on the film. As the protagonists of man in his eternal fight to wrest a living from the wild, the producer chose an heroic Siamese family, a man, his wife, their two children, household pets and Bim bo, the monkey.

Automobiles, aeroplanes, motorboats and even bicycles have furnished the background for motion picture drama, but1 until Richard Dix began "Man Power" for Paramount the lumber ing caterpillar tractor had never been "glorified" in' films. Only an, imagi native scenario writer who .had been through the war could see possibilities in. them." The results will be on view at the Idle Hour theatre next Mon day and Tuesday. . "Man Power is not a war picture, although there is a flash of the battle front to indicate that Richard Dix had. been an officer before reaching the lowlv state of a box car wanderer hopefully looking for a job. Glimpses of Mary Brian, beautiful' daughter of the president of the Stoddard Manu facturing company, starts him on a career as . a mechanic. What he docs with a tractor after that is startling. To save the in habitants of a valley from the menace of a broken dam, Dix pulls supplies through a rain storm over a slippery road, over ditches, up mountains sides, across a pleteau and into a gulch. Ordinarily, cameramen are not ex- citab e. but , Ed Lroniager and the others engaged on 'Man Power" ad mit they would rather, photograph jungle animals than a tractor on a rampage. A lion, for instance, can be shot when he gets out of control but a tractor will shed bullets as wel as rain, and anything that gets tn" its wav is doomed. . . Dix admits he was glad when it was finished. It was directed by Clarence Badger Wallace Beery, Ball Player He's smclled the powder of cneniv fire in the front line trenches, he's watched the ominous white streak or o tnrnpfln frnm ho deck of a marked transport, and now he's adventuring in America's best known 'game, base ball. After gathering laughs as a flnucrlirinv and a trob. Wallace Beery arrives in Franklin Friday as "Casey" in Paramount's . new roaring farce 'Taspv at Ihe Bat." The shrieks which greeted this picture at its initial showings have slrparlv nprmpated our citv.
