AN UNUSUAL THEME
“CASE OF CAPTAIN RAMPER” What has been described after its amazing premiere at the Roxy in New York as the strangest motion picture ever filmed, is soon to be seen by New Zealand audiences. This is “The Strange Case of Captain Hamper, a powerful drama built round surely the strangest of ideas. Originally produced in Germany, First National has the release rights locally, and they predict a repetition of its New York success. Particularly appropriate in these days of aviation enthusiasm, the plot deals with a wild man who has been lost for years in the terrible wastes of the Arctic, and returns to modern life, unrecognisable in his brutish stupidity and appearance. Mistaken for a peculiar animal, he is kept caged, and events move with lightning rapidity and breath-taking thrills when he falls in love with an ultra-modern girl, who strokes him carelessly. Fit for adult audiences only, but without being in the least prurient, the. strong plot is one that every man and woman who longs for adventure should see. revealing the endurance of liardI ships in the land of the midnight sun that are almost unbelievable, and one of the strangest passions ever brought to the screen.
