Henrr C. Rowland, author, saw
"Kiag Konj,". at a prerlew at the
RKO-Radie studios ana was im
pressedr by Its treatment ot the old
theme ot beauty's charm oTerthe
brut beast.
Rowland declared this theme
w&a.'fco snbtlr incorporated . as to
Five the dreadfnl situations their
leaves of humanity and to lift the
niav above the level of a mere
shocker.: '
There Is even bathos,' Mr.
Rowland said, "in the daxed
yearnings of the monster, 'King
Konr: as there must be to all
consuming passions that are sin
cere. wlatfnL bewildering and
hopeless."
The artifice of the screen, as
exemplified in "King Ko ng"
fcankly amased the writer, who
said. "Vnin one stops to think one
might easily believe 'King Kong'
to have been a living monster phe
nomenon, but the action of this
, play gives one' no time to think.
You do your thinking before and
after the performance. During Its
progress you merely feel."
The idea for the story of "King
Kong" was conceived by that mas
ter story teller, the late Edgar
Wallace, and Merian C. Cooper.
Pay Wray plays the role of beau
ty, and Robert Armstrong and
Bruce Cabot are the two adven
turers who hope to startle all of
civilization with the gigantic ape
who does not relish being trans
ported to New York from his jun-
gle Island and his associates, such
as the brontosaurus, triceratops,
pterodactyl, trachodon and tyran
nosausus. "King Kong," a fantastic super
spectacle. Is the attraction now
at the Klalnore theatre.
