"CHANG."
Many of the thrills ; in , "Chang," the Paramount picture to be presented at the Regent Theatre next Friday, are provided by tigers. In going to the Nan country, north-east of Siam, Merian Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, the two men who produced "Chang," were surprised that the natiyes would not kill tigers. They were superstitious, . but finally were persuaded by Cooper and Schoedsack that the killing of 'tigers would make, the villages safer. Some idea of the prevalence of man-eating tigers may be Eained from the statements of Dr. Hugh Taylor, the oldest missionary in the Nan district, that between 300 and 400 people were killed by tigers in the past five years.
