REGENT THEATRE
“SANDERS OF THE RIVER” “Sanders of the River” will be the attraction at the > Regent. Theatre tonight and Wednesday. Based on the popular Edgar Wallace stories of the same title, it deals skilfully with British rule in Africa, a subject hitherto conspicuously and surprisingly ignored by British film producers. It represents quite the most difficult film task ever attempted by a British producer, and that it succeeds so triumphantly is yet another tribute to the genius of the Korda brothers. Zoltan Korda, after spending four months in the heat of Africa, has given picture patrons spectacular authentic scenes of native ceremonials, with excellent shots of disturbed animal life and negro singing which rolls through the theatre, deep, sonorous and musical. Leslie Banks and Paul Robeson are superb in the principal parts. Others prominent in the wellchosen cast are Nina Mae McKinney, Tony Wane, Eric Maturin, Robert Cochrane and Martin Walker.
