KING'S THEATRE
In a' cast that abounds with striking personalities, one of the most interesting actors in "San- ders of the River," now showing at the King's Theatre, is Tony Wane who plays King Fofolaba
Mofolaha is the most trouble- some of the chiefs under Sanders' jurisdiction, and the arch-enemy of Basambo (Paul Robeson). Tony Wane, faunting the full majesty of his war paint, makes him ter- rifyingly real.
Tony is a huge, husky African, jsuperb in physique, seventy-seven
