AN IMPOSING FIGURE and a magnificent bass voice have provided the means for Paul Robeson to make himself one of the greatest attractions on the screen to-day. His latest role, that of the rebellious Zulu chief Umbopa in H. Rider Haggard’s ‘ King Solomon’s Mines,’ now at the State, proves beyond all doubt that he has yet another claim—through acting ability alone. Roland Young and Sir Cedric Hardwicke are among the other G.B.D. principals in this film of adventure.
