With a chest thump and ape warble, Tarzan will start vine-swinging from the lianas for the 26th time next week. In Tarzan and the Slave Girl, Producer Sol Lesser is giving the tenth and current Tarzan (Lex Barker) a new mate-probably Vanessa Brown. But the script will hold close to the tried & true line that has enchanted three decades of romantics and grossed around $3,000,000 a picture.

This summer Bridgeport will have a bomb loaded with suntan lotion, and before long, one loaded with paint for touching up around the house. Also in the works are gadgets which might some day become landmarks of 20th Century civilization: spray bombs for perfume, hair lacquer and under-arm deodorants...
