The Moviegoer

Not up to the standard of "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" but good entertainment nevertheless, Alexander Korda's new movie, "Drums," at Keith Memorial this week, shows how far excellent color and exciting surroundings will go to make up a satisfactory melodrama. There is nothing but action and suspense throughout, and Sabu the Hindu boy fits excellently into the life of a Himalayan tribe, yet the plot as a whole runs in too much of a groove to make the picture topnotch. Raymond Massey sneers well as the fanatic tribesman, and Desmond Tester is a very good cockney drummer boy.

Of equal interest is Walt Disney's cartoon "Ferdinand the Bull." The freshness of the book is not spoiled even though Ferdinand wiggles his nose too violently as he sits "just quietly" and smells the flowers. The bull fight is very splendid. In addition there is another "feature" about football and college and things.
