"Mamba," the feature attraction to-day at the Central Theatre, we be- lieve brings to the talking screen tha first drama of feature length to be produced entirely in technicolour. We have had musical comedles and colour sequences in pictures of various types, but "Mumbn" is sheer drama-with- out a single theme song-and Its locale has been laid in the heart of an African jungle.

Jean Hersholt, Eleanor Boardman and Ralph Forbes head the cast of this Tiffany production, which A Regell directed from an original story by F. Schumann-Heink and John Reinhardt. Hersholt, once again in his spectacular career as an actor, turns mean. In fact, it is from the mcannesa of the character he por trays that the picture gets its title, for the mamba is a deadly poisonous anake of Afrien--and August Bolto la as vile and feared as any reptile.

He thinks to command the respect of the English and Germans at New Posen by marriage to the daughter of a German count. This beautiful girl has consented to marry the im mensely wealthy Bolte only because the price he pays for her will save her father from bankruptcy.
