"Kongo," Métro-Goldwyn-Mayer's | drama of mystery and thrills in the African Jungle, opens to-morrow..at the Queen's Theatre. As "Deadlogs" Flint, Walter Huston, in the featured role re-enacts the part he first creat- ed in scoring one of his biggest New York stage successen. Black" magle, a terrifying plot for revenge, the resentment of the warlike Congo blacks against the cruel domination of a white master, and tho fight of the white race against the Jungle lure, form the admixture from which this strango melodrama was evolved. All the
action of "Kongo" takes place in the swamp and fever infested fungies of interer Africa. A large expanse of Jungle, with trading post and stockade, and a river winding through, was built for the production. Hun dreds of blacks in the grotesque paint and traditional, adornments of the superstitious African natives, take part. The cunning of the whites in holding them in subjection through their fear of "ju-ju" ur voodoo magic. is vividly shown.
"The Masquerader"
A great many things combine to give Ronald Colman a personai dis. tinction before the camera, according to Richard Wallace, who just directed the English star in the dual roles of "The Monquerader," coming to the King's Theatro next Sunday. The native modesty of the inan Is antound. ing in an actor, Mr. Wallace muys. While OBL players conspire to get close-ups and big images of them- nelves into the eye of the camera, Colman either walks or turns his back. Another extraordinary thing in the fining of the fans us English melo drama was Colman's feeling about make-up. Playing a a dual role, n less ภาย conscientious player would have de pended on facial make-up and sloven- ly clothes in contrast to immaculato troming. Colman, tanned by his daily tennis in the California sun used no

the
ing role of the dopraved, drug-
crazed John Chilcote, Colman made only a nominal use of make-up. He attempted realism rather than any thing fantastic. The line of his mouth and the shadow under his eyes had to be accentuated,
"Trick for Trick"
Black magic and the art of legenie main make "Trick for Trick" at the King's Theatre, one of the most enter- taining, โลโทรล of the season. Imagine two magicians testing the superiority of each other with a contest of illu nions, rabbit pulling, disappearing egs and finally the solution of a mur- ler mystery. Victor Jory and Ralph Morgan appear as the rival magic- inna who vio with each other in an effort to tuto themselves. And the murder that entangles the whole business in unwound in a mysterious dark house on a cliff in the Falisades. MacFadden had done an excellent Job and directed an able cast. Solly Blanc, as the young girl who believes In one of the magicians, la significant in her le, and Clifford Jones, newcomer to the screen field, does an expert job. Tom Dugan and Luis Alberni, an Magicians assistants, give splendid character portrayals. Ed Van Slonn, Adrian Morria Bunston, Dorothy Appleby and Boothe Howard emprise an excellent cant in support or the principals. The technieni directlon by William Cameron Men' zira accounts for much of the meta- physical symbollam which, like the rest of the film, is highly convincing.
"The Great Decision"
Bill Boyd battles a gang of eastern gunnen and bank robbers, clears him- self of false criminal charges and wins the girl he loves, all in a rural setting in his first starring production for RKO-Radio Pictures, "The Great Decision now showing at the Central Theatre. The picture provides the answer to the modern question which, has been on every tongue-Is the racketeer's rod man on a match for vi
the quick-drawing six-gun fighter the oil west? The Great Decision" presents a great variety of interesting characters without in any way retard- ing its action, thrill and suspense. The fight in the canyon, with the gangsters matching diabolical cunn. ings and machine guns against the sturdy courage of the local posse, led by n World War veteran and an ex- Indian fighter, is no-end exciting, Dorothy Wilson furnishes the roman- tle Interest opposite Boyd, while Charles (Chic) Sale as "Smokey Joe". Ralph Lynn directed and also played the leading heavy, role very vincingly.
