Possibly, possibly . . . but does Tarzan love the ladies? This bas always been a great worry to the critics of America who can hardly under- stand how this Samson gets along without a Delilah. Never was a boy scout so chivalrous to an old lady, as Tarzan to the luscious wenches who go barging around Africa and into the jeweled temples of Ophir without so much as an Ernest Hemingway or a Martin Johnson to guide them. But Tarzan is not to be judged by ordinary standards. A few years agowhen one o£ the editors of this book was interviewing Johnny Weismuller—the movie Tarzan—for the Chicago Daily News, he asked the synthetic ape man if he ate raw .lion meat. "Who, me? I eat raw spinach," said Johnny. "Do you think you could take care of yourself in the African Jungle?" he was asked. "Maybe I could run faster," said Johnny. "Were you scared?" "You bet I was scared," said Johnny. "So was Maureen O'Sullivan. So was the director. The cameramen were so scared they shot the whole picture from the inside of a cage." Maybe these Tarzans aren't such he-men after ail.
