SANDERS OF THE KWANGCHOWWAN

RIVER"

AT THE KING'S

"Sanders of the River", which is proving a tremendous attrac- tion at the King's Theatre to-day, is something quite hew in film entertainment.

Based on the popular Edgar Wallace stories of the same title, It deals skilfully with Betish rule Un Africa. a subject which hit herto has been conspicuously and *surprisingly ignored by British film producers. It represents quite the most difficult film task ever attempted by 4. producer in this country, and that it succeeds so triumphantly is yet another tri- "bute to the genius of the Korda

brothers.

The story sets out to show that the way to control millions of un- tamed jungle dwellers is not by harshness and violence, but by making it obvious that their wel fare is at the heart of the ruler. Loyalty brings its reward, and only open "evoit brings punish- ment.

It is also launching a campaign for the rendition of the bay.

The incident occurred on last April 21, when a crowd of 7,000 Chinese who were approaching the Government House to petition for the cancellation of a new head tax, were allegedly fired upon by the French police. Seven were reported to have been killed and 15 seriously injured.
