Johnny Weissmuller, "Tarzan" of the films, has a new thrill to add to his real life and picture adventures. He is the first actor in Hollywood to ride a live African rhinoceros--and live to tell the tale. At intervals for more than an hour, Weissmuller jumped on the back of the infuriated beast and rode it while four cameras recorded the strange sight. Shown is an enlargement of the film, showing "Tarzan" riding the rhinoceros at the M-G-M studios. Photo dated: March 16, 1934.
