Ses- || sue Ilayakawa, in his first talkie as '|| the henchman of Scotland Yard. |1 Dr. Fu Manehu carries on his in- B sidious plot!

See Anna May Wong, M Warner Oland, and Sessue Haya- | kawa in "Daughter of the Dragon," g by Sax Rohmer, and learn the start- | ling answer. i "RANGO" | "Rango" opens with a prologue j from which it is gathered that the j only place in the world where the * orang-outang and tiger cohabit the f same forest is Sumatra, lying in the § Malay Archipelago. Into this is- | land, Schoedsack and his company £ went to take a picture of the eternal ^ strugg'le between the tiger and the | monkey, whose only escape from the ; outlaw is in the tree-tops. The pro- | ducer has interpolated a narrative, jj running *along the natural theme, a and to add to its effect there are two . natives, Ali and his son. The camera ; follows their customs and everyday duties, their attitude toward the vari- | ous species pf animal life, and their | constant dread and battle against the | common enemy, the tiger. ; Scenes of the utmost suspense are jj developed about the frequent visits ? of this lciller, and of uproarious ^ mirth about the amazingly human p characteristics of the orang-outang, | or Rango. So affectionate do these » little fellows appear, in fact, that an ^ acute regret is felt at the conclusion ^ when Rango meets his end under the paws of the devastating tiger; and | at the sight of Rango's father seat- | ed in the tree-tops, awaiting the son. ^ he knows will never return. |
