A quality distinctly third dimen- sional is very apparent in the Tiffany production, Mamba," now showing at the Central Theatre. This entire picture is in Techni colour, but it has none of the faults that colour pictures frequently have, and this is due to the careful arrangement of colour, and scenes In colour photography, a fore ground that does not complement It becomes blurred and fat, But when both are arranged with the caro that a portrait painter gives to the arranging of his subject, the result is a picture with depth and roundness. This is what "Mamba” has and this is what makes if, in our opinion, one of the very finest colour pictures yet produced. The film is spectacular, but it has not sacrificed the drama to order to startle the eye, savages warns noroes the screen- there are native dances, burning villages and battles but they are all part of the triangle drama that Woave about the interesting char- Eleanor Boardman and Ralph For- asters portrayed by Jean Hersholt, by Jungle plantation perrinon MISCELLANEOUS.
