" CONGORILLA."
JUNGLE FILM AT MAJESTIC. " Congorilla," the only talking picture entirely made in the African jungle, with Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson, who produced " Siniba " and many other films o£ the world's unknown regions, brings to tho audible screen for the first time the roars, shrieks, and cries of not only primitive savages and wild animals, but the unexplored wilderness of Central Africa is shown in all its primitive splendour. Rivers alive with rhinos and crocodiles, wildernesses vibrant with maneaters, forests shrieking with savage cries and treacherous mountains re-echoing with the scream of the gorilla, are realistically brought to you in " Congorilla," thanks to science and the daring of the worlds most fearless explorers. " Congorilla" will be screened at the Majestic Theatre to-morrow.
Gorillas in mortal combat, a pygmy courtship, wedding, and honeymoon, with huge elephants, ferocious lions, mad rhinoceri, and other wild beasts as witnesses, a white woman narrowly escaping death from a charging rhino, a river a,live with floating islands of flesh and slithering reptiles, the capture of two kings of the apes, and hyenas menacingly teasing a Hon and his kill—these are a few of the hundreds of thrills revealed by what is declared to be the greatest jungle picturc ever made.
