"The Drum," the second London Alm to be made in Technicolour and the third auch from Denham Studios, in scheduled to be shown at the King's Theatre shortly. This film, which has been adapted from the well-known story by A. E. W. Mason, was previewed yesterday.
1m.
There can be no doubt that "The Drum" in a striking and spectacular It deals with fighting on the Το North West Frontier of India and every advantage has been taken
to life in colour the grand brinit Atuations in the story. A great deal of praite must go to the set designer (Vincen! Korda) who realised that a varied range of tones in one colour was the most effective manner to centre the attention of the players Actually, with their vivid costumes, scenes for this film were taken at the Denham sound stages, in Wales difficult to believe that the sels on and on location in India. It is the lot are not in fact actual Indian scenes and for a long-shot a cleverly constructed large-scale model plays the part most effectively.
It hus frequently been lamented by critics that it is the American who have made great producers flims of typical British character such as "Lives of a Bengal Lancer." "Cavalcade" and "Charge of the Light Brigade," but "The Drum, the first picture made in an English studio which may be termed in the "epic" class, goes far to remove these criticisms.
Raymond Massey, Roger Livesey and Valerie Hobson take the leading parts. Roger Livesey is seen as a commanding offece of a Fronter regiment who divides his spare Ume between dangerous secret ser- vice work and suave diplomacy.

The picture covers every side of Indian Army life and shows not only ghling but the social life at the Residency and life in the barracks.
Full government co-operation was given to the Indian unit of the pre- ducing company which gained per- mission to penetrate into forbidden rones. The unit was headed by Geoffrey Boothby. As well as from the army, co-operation was secured from the Mchtar of Chitral who loaned 3,000 of his bodyguard to act

A characteristic pose of Chico Marx, of the three mad Marxas, as he will appear in RKO Radio's version of the convuising Broadway comedy success. Ho plays the role of Harry Blaeli, bracketed with Groucho and Harpo in the star billing. Ann Milet and Lucille Ball will provide the pulchritudo and Frank Albertson the martyrdom in this farce of theatrical life.

DANAHAR'S DECISIVE PUNCH
Danalar's win was so decisive as to leave little to write. For Kestrell it was stated that this was the first time he had been "stopped" In 300 fights. But there was no answer to chin which the crisp chop on the Dunahar whipped over his guard.
Kestrel rose at the count of five, hauling himself up with the aid of the ropes. He was sent down again, and shortly afterwards the fight was quite rightly stopped.
When will Boon and Danahar meet? Not yet, I hope. Each has a future too good to spoil at the mo ment-they may be in different weights in another year.
