"So This Is Africa” is said to
be the most blatantly sexual, sa
lacious, and be-sliaied picture of
the year. Many of the jokes and
gags are well beyond the border of
clean humor. Quite a contrast to
the type of humor that has made
the greater comedians famous.

which he flopped a 9 lb. cannon hall shot from a
fully charged cannon. The audience gasped when
the gun flatbed and the human Gibraltar stepped
forward out of the smoke uninjured, with the 9 lb.
shot in hit hand*.
EXPLANATION:
The trick lay in the way an a»si*tant prepared the
cannon for the performance. He used the regulation
amount of powder and wadding, but placed the
greater part of the charge of powder ahraJ of the
■hot. The cannon ball was propelled onh by the
small charge hthimJ it which was just tuficieot to
lob the 9 lb. ball over to the strong man.
