Williams Commissioner Hyde White One of the most fascinating pictures seen in many a moon, "Elephant Boy, now at the Metropol Theatre, will thrill the most blase with its exciting grand hunt for wild elephants. The capture of a mighty herd is responsible for"some remarkable scenes, while splendid photography adds rare beauty to the Indian jungles which serve as the setting [or th film.
Based on Rudyard Kipli "Toomai of the Elephant: Tole is delightfully played by a^ engaging young Indian boy named Sabu. His inseparable pi. late and áriend is Kala Nag, which part is taken by a magnificent and almost human elephant caücd Iravatha. These two are the "stars" of the show which revolves around Toomai's ambition to become a mighty and famous hunter, as his grandfather was before him. His chance comes when Petersen Sahib, competently acted by Mr. Walter Hudd, is commissioned by the Government to secure a large number of elephants.
Produced by Mr. Alexander Korda for London Films, the picture more than holds its own with anything produced in Hollywood. The co-opera tion of the Government of India and the Maharajah of Mysore was secured so that the production would be authetic in every detail. Certainly, no one should miss seeing it—children included.
A coloured short of Mickey Mouse following in "Alice in Wonderland's footsteps is exceptionally clever. "Popular Science" in technicolour, and a newsreel complete an excellent programme.—A.c.
