“DEVIL TIGER
A Wild And Bloody Entertainment
The blood-thirsty movie fans. who have enjoyed for several years repeated revivals of a single modest short describing a com- bat between a mongoose and a cobra, will welcome Devil Tiger with bowls of delight. It is a wild carnival-of combat. All the beasts of the jungle meet and 'night before Mr. Ellott's efficient
cameras.
The Alm is not for the timorous and squeamish ladies who sit up nights drafting bills to protect Pekinese from the ignoming of. wearing muzzles. It is a lusty, wild. exciting film for the lustier fans.
Daily Mirror
Doubly Effective
Devil Tiger which was made in the Malayan jungle, can boast of more fights between wild fauna than any other film and all these flashes are doubly effective because the cries whines, grunts. roars. moans and snarls are heard during the clashes.
Mr. Elliot was responsible for Buck's the direction of Frank picture. Bring Em Back Alive. Hence he knows the ways of wild beasts and reptiles.
Apparently he is also aware when on one of these expeditions what will make audiences laugh. There are two.comedy bits in this production, one being concerned with a monkey trying to make a glans crab behave and other bé- ing a scrap between a bear and a hyena.
One of the most thrillingen- counters is between a crocodile and a tiger in a muddy pool.

Tokio's declaration of policy i regard to China is nothing but a reafirmation of Japan's tradition- at policy of aggression and expan- sion on the mainland of Asia. It exposes more clearly than
