A Womans Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE prophets who predicted a dying moving picture industry, after the operation for the extraction of dirt, find themselves a little more than embarrassed. They re chagrined. Never in the history of the cinema have press reports been so laudatory, so enthusiastic, so glowing. Even Mr. Hays finds tossed bouquets dangling on his ears. Producers are praised as if they had thought up the whole idea, all by themselves. The Parents Magazine lists 41 pictures in October for family entertainment—a record. Clergymen are pleased. Even George Jean Nathan smiles disdainfully. On the whole, it looks as if the Christmas season would be one of joy in the Hollywood area. For undoubtedly the gold for excellent conduct and steady improvement goes this year to the moving picture people. And that isn't the half of it. Business is also better. According to reports, patronage of moving picture theaters has increased steadily, while in some places receipts are running from 10 to 30 per cent higher than last year. Old moviegoers, who walked out in high dudgeon, are back, and recruits who came to scoff have remained, if not to pray, at least to lend their sanction to a remarkable achievement. In several quarters you will hear that this change is not really due to public effort to have former objectionable features eliminated, but is rather an evidence of improvement in the movie fa *’ taste. Well, that good taste certainly developed fast, if we can believe the statement which is, I think, somewhat exaggerated. The facts are quite different, and much more interesting. because the movie going public was so dead sick of sex in

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

When the door at the far end of the apartment opened slowly, Tarzan and Nemone listened intently, peering into the shadows. Then to their ears came the sharp tap-tap of a metal-shod staff striking the stone floo:. They knew now the identity of the intruder. It was the hideous M'duze.

The old hag’s snarling face emerged from the gloom like some malevolent apparition. “You fool!” she yelled to the Queen in a shrill falsetto. •Send that man away! Send him away at once unless you would see him killed here before your very eyes!” M’duze’s claw-like hand trembled as she gripped the staff.

This threat against Tarzan’s life struck a vital spot in Nemone’s heart She sprang to her feet and faced the old woman, who was now trembling with rage. “You have gone too far, M’duze,” she said in a cold, level voice. “Go to your room, and remember that I—and I alone —am Queen!”

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

“Queen! Queen!” M’duze cackled sarcastically. ‘Send your lover away, or I’ll tell him who and what you are.” Nemone glided swiftly toward her, and as she passed a low stand she seized something that lay there. Suddenly, Tarzan heard M'duze shriek and saw her shrink away. Her eyes were wide with fear!
