The superb showmanship of Cecili B. DeMille is once more made mani- fest in his latest Paramount picture, Four Frightened People", which is This picture, which repeats the suc now playing at the King's 'Theatre. cess of his memorable "Male and Female" of several years ago, is one of the most colourful pieces of screen entertainment that it has been our a tr.onth. pleasure to see for many Against a background of the most amazing jungle scenery ever brought to the screen, the story details tho adventures of four highly cultured people, two women and two men, who are forced to escape from a Dutch steamer when bubonic plague breaks out. Lost for months in a Malay Jungle, they turn to primitive man- ners and habits. The transformation of a prim little school teacher into a beautiful jungle creature over whom the men fight provides some highly novel Rituntions. This latter role played by Claudette Colbert is tha, most outstanding achievement of her career and more than justifies her elevation to stardom. Herbert Mar shall and Willians Gargan, in con- trasting roles, enhance the story with finely drawn portrayals,
