“CHANG”
COMING TO NEW REGENT Tigers will be seen in. "Chang," to be shown at the New Regent on Friday, and provide one of the many thrills. In going to the Xan country, on the north-cast of Slant, Cooper and Schoedsack were surprised that the natives would not kill tigers. They were superstitious, but finally were persuaded that the killing of tigers woud make the villages safer. Some idea of the prevalence of a man-eating tiger may be gained from the- statement of Dr. Hugh Taylor, the oldest missionary in the Xan district, that between 300 and 400 people were killed by tigers in the past five years. Mr. Cooper Quotes the missionary as saying that from one village of 100 pe* - sons, 20 had been lost in one year. It was in such a country that the drama : of "Chang'’ was enacted.
