“THE JUNGLE WOMAN.”
(Captain Frank Hurley’s big feature, “-The Jungle Woman,” will head Friday’s programme at the Town Hall. In “The Jungle Woman” one finds none of the stock studies iof drunken beachcombers, brutal planters, placid missionaries, or illtreated native girls, who turn out to be long-lost society beauties, with millionaire fathers. Instead, the magic of. Captain Hurley takes one direct to. the New Guinea he knows and the natives he understands. He presents a movie rich in the majestic tangled, or swampy, pest-infest-ed scenery of the interior —he builds against that background a logical easily moving romance of love and, jealousy and sacrifice, and, incidentally, cleverly suggests the psychology of the native race.
