Sabu Is Daring Jungle Hero
Of Stirring Kipling Story
Sabu, who is starred in the role .of . Mowgftjln Alexander
Korda's technicolor production of Kipling's :angle Book,"
which starts a run at the Elsinore theatre today, ws born, in the
Karapur jungle, forty five, miles from .the city of Mysore in
southern India. His father, Sheik Ibraham, was a mahout in the
service of the Maharajah. But the father died when Sabu was a
small child
and the Maharajah
paid him a pension of two rupees
a month. i
Sabu became a sensational
screen star when he was dis
covered by Korda in this jun
gle and was given the title role
in "Elephant Boy." At the time
the youngster couldn't speak a
word of English but a teacher
was secured and in an incred
ibly short time he learned the
langirage with only a I slight
trace of an accent. His intelli
gence ajid brilliant mind amaz
ed all who met him.
Sabu continued his education
in London and later made the
highly successful "Drums" and
"The Thief of Bagdad." Kipling's
"Jungle Book" is his first Holly
wood-made film. In the film col
ony the young star lives in a
charming house with his brother
and his teacher. After mastering
the English language, Sabu went
to work on slang which he pick
ed up with amazing speed.
Sabu drives his own car, but
his pride and joy is a new sta
tion wagon he recently acquir
ed. He is also an expert swim
mer and enjoys practically" all
American sports, including ten
nis and football. Although he is
sold on American clothes, he
will not give up his turban for
an American hat. Winding his
turban is almost a ceremony
with him.

A bell-ringer foe the fans if
there ever was one Is 20th Cen
tury-Fox's "Rings On Her Fin
gers," the gay romantic comedy
which made its i debut at the
Grand theatre Tuesday.
Packed with comedy, the pic
ture makes the most of its hilar
ious plot to keep Henry Fonda
and Gene Tierney in a constant
state of uncertainty while a slew
of laugh-provokingSsituations re
solve themselves.;
, Making her first appearance
In a youthful modern dress
role, Gene Tierney tarns in s
neat performance as she romps
through the film: matching wits
with Fonda,
The story is just right for the
two stars. Gene plays the part
of a shopgirl whose services are
enlisted by two shady characters,
Laird Cregar and Spring Bying
ton, to mulct millionaires out of
their money. Gene, at first, is un
willing, but the prospect of gor
geous clothes, swank hotels, trav
el, palm trees and all the accou
trements of ' a glamorous debu
tante win her over. Naturally,
the victim turns out to be Henry
Fonda, a guy who has finally sav
ed up enough to buy the boat
he's always dreamed of.
The performances are every
thing expected bf them. Gene
gets away from the. costume
roles she has been playing to
add just the right touch to the
debutante part, and Fonda con
tinues his series of delightful
comedy characterizations. Laird
Cregar who is rapidly turning
into one of the best "heavies"
in filmdom, turns In another

McCrea, Lake
Star in Hit
If you're in need of a good
hearty laugh, and who isn't you
just, can't afford to pass up; that
sparkling slice of cinematic joy
ity rSullivan's Travels," which
arrived Saturday at the Capitol
theatre. t
Written and! directed by Pres
ton Sturges, orie of the Hollywood
giants, for Paramount, and star
ring Joel McCrea and Verpnlca
Lake, "Sullivan's Travels" lis a
fresh, bright idea in screen plots
which romps along, popping up
laugh-loaded surprises all along
Its route. .
It accomplishes the difficult
task of being- even more enter
taining than the three previous
brilliant comedy hits brought
to the screen by Sturges. Those
were "The Great MeGinty,"
"Christmas in July" and "The
Lady Eve."
The blithe new Sturges comedy
concerns Joel McCrea as John L
Sullivan, a Hollywood director of
comedies with a heartfelt desire
experience for his picture, he
dresses up as a hobo, bent upon
tasting the bitter realities of life;
Before he leaves Hollywood i upon
his adventure he meets a beauti
ful girl, whose movie: ambijtioni
have been temporarily thwarted.
Triumphing over his better judg
ment, she persuades him to take
her along on his odyssey. Dressed
in boy's garb as a begrimed hobo-
ette, even that fails to dim the
special kind of glamour that is
hers alone. Yes, of course, Veron
ica Lake plays this part. In the
end McCrea returns to Hollywood
to resume making comedies.
Companion feature is "Unseen
Enemy" with Leo Carrillo and
Andy Devine. j .
