" Chang," the film which followed " Grass,*' took over a year to make, and showed the conquest of the jungle by man in Siam. The adventures of a pioneer family were more enthralling than any fiction of society, while the scenes showing the elephant stampede have never been equalled. But it was not a big box office success. Just over two years ago, Cooper and Schoedsack left for Africa, and spent a year among the Fuzzy-wuzzies and Arab tribes round the Red Sea, and in Portuguese Elast Africa. Their records are incorp>orated in " The Four Feathers," and we have interesting pictures of the British Sudan, Tanganyika and the Red Sea hills.

Snow died after " Lost in the Arctic " was made, and his son cut and edited the film alone. We can never appreciate the bravery, patience, and cheer- fulness of their makers, but the films themselves are an everlasting tribute.
