-"Mamba" makes

many ulda to fame as an outstanding picture of the year. It is a spectacular pro- duction, tells a powerful story,' is perfectly acted and directed and beautifully photographed.

For the first time we find, in a screen drama the strange situation that sprang up between British and German soldiers and civilians who had lived for years as friends and neighbours in the African, eolonies of those two countries and suddenly found themselves facing each other as enernies by reason of the outbreak of the great war in far away Europe.

Colour subjects, of course, have been mutte before and are, Inthem- selves, no novelty, but the back ground of "Mamba."-the African jungle, the tropica, the gaudy war regalia of the natives, the flashing uniforms of German and British Colonial troops-offers a kaleidos- cope before unequalled.
