history of the race, was shot a
week ago-has passed through the
lab and cutting room-the must
zeal background is being dubbed in,
and the final touches prior to re-
leasing the film are nearing COM

This picture will be released in
the next few days, when all screen
fans will be convinced that for
perfection of plot, beauty of scenic
sequence, real technique in xecu-
ton and easy natural acting, it
will far surpass any colored cast
film yet produced.

human interest so pulsating that a

ture and the soft, enchanting
Oriental music fill every minute
with thrilling action and roaring
laughter.
