With a chest thump and ape warble, Tarzan will start vine-swinging from the lianas for the 26th time next week. In Tarzan and the Slave Girl, Producer Sol Lesser is giving the tenth and current Tarzan (Lex Barker) a new mate-probably Vanessa Brown.

...Sorrowful Jones" is a refreshing departure from the routine of Hope pictures. Laecille Ball, Mary Jane Sanders, and a host of very competent supporting actors take over very well for the Crosby-Lamour due.
