glorious years eras “The iron Claw” in 1916, the first horror serial. The hooded vilUan with the iron pipes sticking out of hie hand caused many a nightmare but people couldn't wait for the next episode. Then there was ' Diamond From the Sky," with Lottie Pickford. And "Million Dollar Mystery" with James Cruse serving both star and director. e e e Glorious days those for the serial and the infant motion picture industry. Theater operators ran serials on their best days, because serials were adult fare and received billing on the marquees. Features or multiple reel offerings often were "added attractions.” e e e From 1920 to 1935, serials became something Just to play on Saturday nights or bargain matinees. For one thing, the feature made such rapid strides and, for another, serials became just cheaply produced offerings. The public became tired of them and they were banished from most first-run houses. e e e But in 1935, a baby company, Republic, got a foothold In Hollywood because of its excellent serials "Phantom Empire," introduced Gene Autry to the films In 1935. Universal and Columbia competed with Republic in serialmaking. Three years ago, Republic’s "Lone Ranger” broke all records, played in first-run houses, grossed over a million dollars. Serials were hot again. see Republic’s newest effort, "Jungle Giri," brings back the serial queen, the first since the late Ruth Roland retired more than 12 years ago. Frances Gifford is the girt of the jungle. She appears in 1,760 of the 2,000 scenes (features have only about 400 scenes) and she faces such perils as being boiled in oil, snapped apart by the separating prongs of a tree, plunged into a 2,000-foot well and so on for 15 episodes. Serials today contain either IS chapters or 16. In the earlier days, some ran 18 episodes, and smaller efforts ran only 10. But trial and error have proved that interest of fans sustain 12 episodes for a smaller budgeted serial, or 15 for an epic. The proof that serials are back again is the letter written to Republic executives by the manager of the Criterion theater on Broadway, a first-run house. Wrote the manager, "I can't tell whether the adults are bringing the kids to see this serial or whether the kids are bringing the adults.** Mturee flr>4ieata tee, -|»IF r
