MACABRE MALAYA.
TNSECTS as big as a man's fist, black ants that carry away a whole lunch, red ants that fall from the trees and drill through the skin. These, added to tigers, leopards and various venomous snakes, are menacing Clyde Elliott's expeditionary force to the Malay jungle. But Elliott is prepared for them. He has been to the jungles on two previous occasions and he knows what weapons will be required. He received a cablegram from Dr. August Vandenburg, of Singapore, in which the physician accepted the commission to supervise the medical needs of the company that will produce "Booloo" in the jungle. Colin Tapley, the New Zealand actor, will enact the leading role in the picture which, it is expected, will require six months to make. He will play a j modern Marco Polo in search of adventure. The other actors will be natives, one entire tribe having been engaged to furnish atmosphere.
