PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
So really remarkable are many of the animal studies and scenes in Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson's "Trailing African Wild Beasts," now showing at the Paramount Ther.tre, that a doubt must almost riso in tha mind as to whether tho hunters' tales of tho extreme risk and danger of stalking the greater animals are not grossly exaggerated, or, at any rate, that doubt arises in the earlier scenes of these splendid pictures. As the record of the two years "Safari" unfolds, however, doubt gives way to admiration of the almost reckless "courage of the camera hunters, particularly of the unbounded courage of' Mrs. Johnson. She and her husband literally walk up to death, make their records, and' getaway somehow. The fake theory will the possibility. _ Tho fake theory will not do; the pictures are so obviously genuine. They are a magnificent record of a remarkable expedition. , -
