Kyber Pass on Screen.
JJHAPSODISED in scores of booki and sung about in a dozen lusty soldier songs, the steep, carved sides of India’s historic Khyber Pass at last becomes a motion picture background. The Paramount studios echo to the plaintive and eerie whine of reeds of cobra charmers and boom to the vocal discords of innumerable Panthans, Afghans, Sikhs and Punjabi-Mohamme-dans. At last, Paramount’s “Lives of a Bengal Lancer” is stepping from the interesting print of Francis YeatsBrown’s book into an elaborate spectacle, with Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell, Sir Guy Standing, Colin Tapley and Kathleen Burke.
