Even now there are "a"large"number of people who have not seen this master production and to this muss we make bold to suggest that it is not a picture to be missed. This wonder film of the jungle will be shown for the last time to day and despite the fact that it has had such a long run, bookings are still heavy and to those who have not seen it cur advice is to get seats early.
