Field Museum Lectures Depict Jungle Customs "Jungle Gods," a free lecture for the public, illustrated with motion pictures of the mysterious rites practised in the worship of the strange gods of Africa by primitive natives, will be given this Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the James Simpson theater of Field Mu- seum of Natural History. Captain Carl von Hoffman, noted explorer, who, penetrated the enchanted inner circle of the Chuwali tribe in Rhodesia to ob- tain his facts an take the motion pic- tures, is the lecturer. The films show the effects of voodoo superstition and witchcraft--the people terrorized by out evil spirits, quaint marriage cere- monies, and other details of native life medicine men, villages burned to drive which dramatically expose the native psychology. Captain von Hoffman is a Russian by birth, and has had an adventurous career as an army officer and an explorer for many years.
