When Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) has Jane Parker in his den, the picture really gets into its stride. The ground below the trees becomes alive with tigers, lions, zebras, waterbucks, crocodiles and savage dwarfs. Tarzan is a match for all of them. When a member of the Parker expedition shoots him in the head, he is too tough to mind it and shows his stamina by immediately strangling not one lion but two. When the savage dwarfs capture the members of the Parker expedition and are gleefully preparing to feed them to a large gorilla, Tarzan effects a rescue. He gives...
Egremont and Forbra fought for the lead the second time around. Coming to the last fence but one, Egremont was a stride ahead but Forbra passed him at the last jump, stood off a challenge on the flat and was three lengths in front at the wire, with Shaun Goilin a slow third and five others-Near East, Aspirant, Heartbreak Hill, Annandale, Sea Soldier-plunging after them to the finish...
...full stride. More than a score of nations were approached and persuaded. In 1929 the biggest loan of all was made?$125.000,000 to Germany.

A year ago most experts would have selected Spitz as a sure member of the Olympic team but very few would have chosen Gene Venzke, a tenacious miler, seasoned in road races that develop stamina rather than speed, celebrated for a long smooth stride and a tendency to come in second. When he finally won the Columbian mile at the end of last year's indoor season in 4 min. and 14! sec., observers began to see Venzke's promise. But no one, with the possible exception of Mike Sweeney, track coach...
...better as time goes by. Above all, there is an incredibly clever continuity to make a smoothly-flowing film out of disconnected scenes. Mr. Fairbanks is never at a loss to provide transitions: one moment he commands a gigantic map to appear on the floor, so that he can stride about, with one foot in Tibet and another in Hong Kong, pointing out the route. Again, when time presses, he produces a most convincing magic carpet to whisk his party home to Hollywood on the tick of the eightieth minute. Yet these tricks of photography and sound-recording seem...
