TO BE SEEN
Beautiful Scenery la
Revealed In Film
At Queen
Revealing some of the most pic
turesque and beautiful photogra
phy yet brought to the screen, and
unfolding a love story to an ac
companiment of thrilling battles
between men and beasts on land
and sea, the B. P. Zeldman pro
duction of “Samarang” is showing
Sunday at the Queen theatre as
a United Artists release.
“Samarang,” laid in the en
chanting pearl diving regions of
the Indian Ocean, introduces a
navy Adonis in the person of Ah
mang, the leading man, who seems
destined to be a greater favorite
than either Weissmuller or Buster
Crabbe. Ahmang also brings a
touch of Jimmy Cagney to his act
ing.
Then there is 9ai-yu, a beautiful
native girl, wrho fills the leading
role—and how she fills it! The
heat of Malaysia is not conducive
to much wearing of clothes, and
Sai-yu believes in personal com
fort even when acting In front of
a camera for the consumption of
audiences north of the equator.
The entire picture was made in
Malaysia, and Director Ward Wing
deserves great credit for the man
ner in which he has handled the
native cast. There is a superb mu
sical score by Sam K. Wineland
which blends in splendid style with
the action of the story.
Strange animals prowl the is
land fastnesses in ‘Samarang."
and one of the most thrilling high
lights of any picture ever made Is
the undersea battle between an en
ormous man-killing shark and a
giant octopus. This scene, the first
ever showing the huge denizens
of the deep in mortal combat, vas
made on the floor of the Indian
Ocean and will fairly lift an aud
ience out of its chairs
The story is warmly romantic,
with Ahmang forced to build his
own personal fortune before he
can hope to win the hand of Sal
yu, daughter of a chief, in mar
riage. So he wrestles a pearl of
great price from the treacherous
depths of forbidden waters, but
not before there are a number of
exciting encounters with canni
bals ferocious animals and the
elements. Ahmang's young brother
S killed by a shark when the
youngster tiles to emulate his fa
