"Gunga Din," showing Thursday. Friday, and Saturday
at the Palace. An RKO-Radio pictare produced by Pandro 8.
B re man and directed by George Stevens. The show is an
early February release but that does not ruin the fa^t that
it is |still listed as one of the best productions of the yea*.
The film crew had an unlimited budget and a great cast
ho it took little elae to make a top picture except a story
and this one comes from Rudyard Kipling's poem of the
water carrier, Gunga Din.
Sam Jaffe plays the part of The native water carrier
who saves a regiment of British troqps from masaaefe by
il timely bugle call which costs him his life as he is among
the concealed natives at the time. The otter sincerity with
which he plays the role adds no little bit to the picture
The main action of the film centers around three hardy
sergeants from military headquarters. Cutter, MacChesney,
and BaUantiae. played by Cary Grant, Victor McLagten, and
(Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who ar<> sent with a few* native
troops to the scene of a recent patrol asassacre iff-an at
tempt to put down the rebellion of tribal fanatics who have
revived the ancient murder religion of Thuggee. They are
ambushed and manage to e*cape ; with only their water carrier.
After this acrape the three sergeants and the water boy
try a dangerous hunt for treasure stored by the religious
cult but are successful only in getting themselves captured
by the, natives. Aher that the action develop* with terrific
speed to the dimax which .cuumw with the saving of the
rgsoning troops by the bugle call of Gunga Din.
What little romance there is in the picture is supplied
l^y Joaa Foatsme, who is cast as the daughter ojn ten
company official stationed in the heart of the sff< . I
area. Her romance with Ballantme. one of the three hard
bitten son-cam officers, follows a turbulent course us ii
conflicts with the sworn friendship of the three sergeants.
The unusual turn comes in the end when rather than marry
Joan, he rtealists in the army as another man who ha*
learned that at is better to lead a dangerous life single than ’
have a calm life double. •
, By far the most outstanding part of the entire picture
and the thing that sets it out of the ordinary dime movie
thriller are the battle scenes and fighting which are numer
ous in the film. In fact, the action is so fast that one fight
is not over with before two more have started. However,
they manage ta end them all before the show is over with.
The picture has too much action and drama for one to
enjoy the performance of any one of tho stars and when it
is all over on** remembers the story and the scene* better
than he does the characters, but after all, the story and net
the character* are the most important thing in any action
bobk or show. Rudyard Kipling might not like the intcrpreta-
tidn of his poem as far as the plot goes but he *eul<l cer
tainly be in favor of the action, as it is portrayed us cleutiy
as in his poem*.
If you like action at super pace this show should be
yuur best one of the fyu^r, but don’t make the mistake of
going ts it for the purpose of relaxing and spending s quiet
evening. } *
