When Robert Flaherty discovered Sabu, the little Indian boy, to play the chief part in the screen version of Kiplings "Toomi of The Ele-pliants," he did a risky thing for the boy, who might have been taken out of his natural life without any career in front of him. But Sabu is to go on making pictures and will appear in a film version of a story by A.E.W. Mason, entitled "The Drum." This is a tale of the North-West Frontier and the boy will appear as a pacifying influence between the fierce tribesmen and the British rulers. Zoltan Korda is directing the work and the Kyber Pass will be carefully built in Buckinghamshire.
