STATE THEATRE
“JUNGLE BOOK” Alexander Korda’s “Jungle Book” film will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. Made in colour, with the magnificent background of the jungle and with the theme of a lost city and hidden treasure woven into the story, in which move Kipling’s jungle people, Shere Khan the tiger, Kaa, the wise snake, Bagheera the Black Panther, and Buldeo, the hunter who has been made into the villain of the film, “The Jungle Book” is exciting and spectacular. Sabu having made his film debut as Toomai of the Elephants, also from the “Jungle Book,” his choice as Mowgli in the new movie, might be said to have been foreordained. His only real rival in the film is Joseph Calleia, who plays the part of the old hunter whose desire for gold leads him into conflict with Mowgli in the jungle. The supporting programme contains many special features.
