Show Attractions At The Theaters All the thrills, danger and romance ro-mance of life on the Northwest frontier of India will be brought to the screen of the Ritz theatre on Friday and Saturday, when "Drums," Alexander Korda's magnificent mag-nificent technicolor production, begins a two-day engagement there. Sabu, the sensational child star of "Elephant Boy" fame, is featured fea-tured with Raymond Massey, Roger Livesey, Desmond Tester and Valerie Hobson at the head of a cast of 3,000 in this exciting cavalcade of empire building, photographed in natural color in nature's most dramatic setting. The stirring story casts Sabu as a brave young Indian prince who, with the help of his Scottish Scot-tish drummer boy pal, is able to foil the fiendish plotting of his power-mad uncle, Prince Ghul; forestall the wholesale slaughter of British troops, which Gu'hl had planned as the bloody climax of a five-day ceremonial feast, and regain his own rightful place on the throne. The breath-taking realism Which maFics the battle scenes and the scenes of Indian tribal life was achieved by invading India's treacherous Khybar Pass, territory terri-tory which no motion picture camera had ever penetrated. A beautiful romance is contributed contrib-uted by Roger Livesey, as the redoubtable re-doubtable Captain Carruthers who undertakes the mission into the hostile Prince Ghul's territory, and Valerie Hobson, as the bride who accompanies him to this dis- tant and dangerous outpost, Where she is the only woman among thousands of men. "Drums" was directed by Zol-tan Zol-tan Korda and is released through United Artists. |
