MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5. A thrilling earthquake, trapping Dorothy Lamour, Ray Milland, Lynne Overman, J. Carrol Naish and handreds of native extras provides a smash climax to the tropical romance, “Her Jungle Love,’’ Paramount’s new, *■ Technicolor film showing at the Town Hall on Monday, February 6. Miss Lamour, a white “goddess" Is discovered by Milland when his plane crashes, after an encounter with a typhoon, on an otherwise deserted island. Both he and his mechanic, Lynne Overman, the rubber-faced comedian, are befriended by Miss Lamour, who at first tried to kill them, the fear oh -white men being instilled in her by the power-mad J. Carrol Naish, ruler of hundreds of supersti-tion-ridden natives. ' When the mad ruler brings his savage horde to the island for their annual sacrifice, Milland and Overman secretly watch the ceremonies and determine to' make one last effort to reach civilisation, to take Miss Lamour away from the hypnotic powers of Naish. Before they are able- to carry out their plans, however, the mad Eurasian returns to the island to take Miss Lamour to share Iris fearful throne. Terrified, she flies to Mi Hand’s-arms, thereby dooming herself and the -white men. It As the trio are being led to the sacrificial altar, a terrific earthquake rocks the underground temple, trapping Naish and leaving ,liim to the fate he had condemned so many white men to. Emerging into the open, the three find a searching yacht off-shore.
