PAGE TEN Osa Johnson In Only North Shore Appearance Apr. 20 Osa Johnson is at present on her second lecture tour illustrated with the most exciting adventures in all the Martin Johnson filmsâ€"the lecâ€" ture entitled "Jungles Calling." Mrs. Johnson is the widow of the late Martin Johnson, internationâ€" ally known motion picture explorâ€" er, who lost his life when a Westâ€" ern Air Express transport crashed near Los Angeles last year. Mrs. Johnson suffered a fractured kneeâ€" eap, but very gamely continued the lecture tour they had started toâ€" gether. She afterward went to Africa as supervisor of the African sequences of the feature picture Twentieth Centuryâ€"Fox is making, based on the lives of the explorers Henry Stanley and David Livingâ€" stone. "Jungles Calling" is the title of a film which has been telescoped out of the millions of feet of film taken by the late Martin Johnson during his lifetime, Osa standing at his elâ€" bow holding the gun; or vise versa. It is so cut and timed that thrill follows thrill, mounting to a series of climaxes it would be impossible to duplicate today, many of the naâ€" tive tribes and wild animals shown having succumbed to the inroads of civilization. ‘There is also a great dealâ€"of footage never shown anyâ€" FINE HAMS m ~ ‘The only genuine "Tender Made" ham, "the ham you cut with a fork," is Wilson‘s. It comes to you ready to serve or just heat and eatâ€"the most exquisitely tender ham you ever tasted.

Here they very narrowly escaped with their lives, Borneo called them next and it was to this island that they returned, in 1936, on their last joint expedition. Between their first and last trips they six times encircled the globe, spending â€" their happiest years in Africa, where they established a home cn the outskirts of Nairobi, British East Africa (now Kenya Colony), and explored the haunts of wild beasts south, west and north of these quarters, at one time exâ€" ploring the entire continent, startâ€" ing at Cape Town, by airplane, and at mnother making the first sound pictures ever attempted of the gorâ€" illas of the Belgian Congo and the pygmies of the Ituri Forest. _ Mr. Johnson once described Osa as follows: "She is a woman through and through, yet as a comrade in the wilderness she is better than any man I ever knew. : When we were in the jungle, we made a pact. We resolved that whichever one of us was at the camera would stick to the camera no matter what hapâ€" pened, until it became apparent that either the picture or the life of one of us must be sacrificed. We kept that pact faithfully, and once at WILSON‘S U. S, Impected and "and rpialars least Osa stood by the camera under conditions that called for the utmost bravery and steadiness of nerve." Natives in the jungle make two demands of white explorers. ‘The first is that they must be a good shot. The second is that they must never run away. If they can fufll these requirements, they are the@ deemed worthy to be called bwana, "white master." Both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson merited this title, Osa Johnson was born in Chanute, Kansas as Osa L@Tghty. She met Mr. Johnson when she was 17 years of age, he being 9 years her senior. At that time he was operatâ€" ing a motion picture theatre in Inâ€" dependence, Kansas, named the Snark, after the vessel in which Jack London sailed the South Seas with Mr. Johnson, aged 14, as the youngest member of the crew. It was while Martin Johnson was on this cruise that he met some early motion picture photographers and got the idea of perpetuating the lives of vanishing natives and wild animals in the jungles by taking moâ€" tion pictures of them. a Mr. Johnson wrote a number of books and Mrs. Johnson has chilâ€" drens books as well asâ€"‘magazine articles to her credit. On Wednesday evening, April 20, at 8:15 p.m., Osa Johnson will preâ€" sent the lecture and film, "Jungles Calling" at the Highland Park high school, under the sponsorship of the Highland Park Woman‘s club.
