There i? drama that grips the heart in the play—and drama equally as gripping in the savage death dance of the wild Isorgi a ceremony thousands of years old in the pathless jungle that the picture brings, with sound and all. to the screen. The weird chants, the tom-toms, the swaying painted black bodies in strange cadence—it is never to be forgotten. Wild animals fight tc the death; one sees a zebra worst a lion in a death struggle; leopard; routed by a pack of hyenas; the deadly charge of the ferocious rhinoceros; hair-breadth escapes from
gigantic crocodiles.
