...Collided with the race issue as the result of specific demands for a denunciation of Mrs. Hoover's White House reception of Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of Illinois' Negro Congressman. I. C.

The last reel fades out as he is about to hand the fourth feather back to Fay Wray. Best shot: a monkey carrying a piece of string over the wall of the black hole of Ondurman...
