MAJESTIC'S JUNGLE FILM.

"BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE."

Although a drama, according.to conventional standards, was not what Frank Buck eet out to film when the [Van Beuren-Buck Expedition set out for' the Federated Malay States to produce "Bring 'Em Back Alive," which makes its debut in this city at the Majestic Theatre' tomorrow, this picture presents a complete cast just as though it were a formally constructed production.

The cast of characters of thie picture would look something like this:—Heroine, honeyboar; city slicker, python; gangster, tiger; chee-ild, baby elephant;. comedian, gibbon ape; another gangster, black panther; friend-in-need, orang-outang; policeman, water buffalo; a sailor, crocodile; tattooed lady, monitor lizard; lie hero, Frank Buck.

The cast also includes a group of assistant heroes, the_ trusty native boye who aided in capturing the "city slicker," the gangster and the tattooed lady. They also saved the heroine from the "city dicker" and the "chee-ild" from the second gangster. The guilty -were ''brought back alive" to justice; that is, modern standards of justice. They were treated with kindness, but incarcerated for their crimes. They were not put to death, but were photographed'-for the rogues' gallery, of the animal kingdom, and sentenced to benevolent life imprisonment in some menagerie or some public park to atone for their offences against the jungle peace.
