GOES
OVER BIG
AT R-K-O

A spectacular drama with a
locale heretofore comparatively
untouched by the camera is
'Mamba," the outstanding Tif-
fany film which is tlSe feature
attraction at R-K-O Keith's this
week.
Here Is q story written about
the rim Of darkest Africa, with
atmosphere carefully worked out
in detail, and with melodramatic
effects which have the real feel"
of the jungle In them. There
have been many travelogues and
jungle hunt pictures from the
wilds Of Africa, but there have
been comparatively few pictures
symbolizing the spirit of that
strange continent in terms of
melodrama and spectacle.
"Mamba" has the ineffable ad-
vantage Of being acted by such
excellent players as Eleanor
Boardman, Ralph Forbes, and
Jean HerSholt. The latter ....5
one Of the big opportunities of
his career in playing the part Of
an ugly, lascivious old monster"
whom the natives have nicknamed
"Mamba," because he reminds
them so forcibly Of the .eadliest
snake known to their habitat.
The heroine eleanor Broardman)
falls prey to this man, known as
the trader Auguste Bolte, but
she is secretly in love with a
young German army officer.
played by Ralph Forbes. The
latter Is ordered to the jungle
when the World War breaks out.
but returns in time to protect his
love.
The R,K-O is distinguished this
week, also by the excellence Of its
supplemental features. including
some remarkable camera shots Of
Niagara Falls: q travel ta.:.: about
Bombay that is exceedingly
timely. and Freddy Clark and his
band in Oriental selections.
There is no question that
''Mamba" will do much to estabS
lish Tiffany in the fi-st-line Of
the film producing industry. It
may be rated as incisve, swift
moving n1elodrama Of the type
that was more in vogue before
the screen became allf'-ln. There
is large public for this kind Of
entertainment when It is as well
done as the current offering.

FILM
REAL EPIC
Of SCREEN

The great epic of Antarctic ad-
venture of which Rear Admiral
Richard e. Byrd is the guiding
genius has brought back to us q
vivid and visual record Of its tri-
umph. 1t happens, also, to be a
human drama with high lights
unsurpassed by any product OF
the Hollywood imagination.
This is merely a way Of saying
that the new and greatest travel
ogue ever done by the camera,
''With Byrd to the South Pole" ;"
which is vouchafed to Washing
ton ct the Columbia this week, Is
something which ought to be a
part Of current American educa-
tion. -. ;,
Here is q panorama which is
not make-helieve, but which Is as
real as human genius can MAKE
it. Such glorious scenes Of white,
such austere beauty that it seems
to belong almost to the spheres
rather than to our familiar
earthl Such pictures Of human
courage challenging the most
jealously guarded secrets OF
naturel
It was stroke Of genius on the
part Of Paramount to enlist a
photographer as q part OF the
Byrd expedition. He has brought
back q simple, Straightforward,
undecorated narrative Of what
transpired on that great aeroplane
flight to the South Pole. Opinions
differ as to whether it has been
the part of discretion to employ
Floyd Gibbons as an interpret"
of that flight, which assuredly
speaks for itself.
One Of the great moments Of
modern picture making comes
where Admiral Byrd drops the
American flag out Of the plane
as the pole is reached and the OBJ.
ject Of the expedition is attained.
It Is eloquent and sublime in Its
significance.
There are millions of Americans
who will never zee Admiral Byrd
who will be able II share with him
the glory of his achievement in
this film. 1t Is something more
than mere current amusement.
Just now it seems q new form of
record for the writing Of authentic
history M. j.

Gayety Ending
With Real Pep

After 43 weeks Of burlesque,
eight Of which featured Jimmy
Lakes popular stock company,
the Gayety this Saturday closes
It's doors until August.
It isn't so hard to understand
why the popular Ninth Street
house broke all records, when
you think Of all the stars who
were brought here this spring.
There's Jerri McCauley, for ex-
ample. She was here last week
and though the show is different
from that Of last week, the
customers were so demonstrative
in their appreciation of her work
that she Is held over.
You'll go to many a show before
you'll see such comedians as Hap
Freyer and Lew Costello. The
pretty Seat Pleasant blonde,
Bobby Nissen, is another who,
after joining the stock company,
became q permanent fixture. Joe
Moss and Happy Hyatt with
Freyer and Costello make up the
four horsemen Of this weeks
show.

ON the boxing card for this Friday
night, with our old friend Battling
Bulahan from Manila stepping into
the top spot against Homer Gaines,
who also deserves the title "our
old friend" through his many APP

he travels so fast that he makes
the good boys look bad and the bad
boys look worse. He will have his
hands full against the gentleman
from Manila, for Bulahan throws
more gloves than there are bananas

Bulahan is shy on science, but he
can take them and keep coming, and

Pacho got draw with him and
only the local favorite's hard plug
gin2 throughout their 10 round fight
kept him from losing the scrap.
