KINGDOM OF CLAW AND FANG. “Baboona,” a record in picture and sound, of a trip through Kenya colony, Belgian Congo, Tanganyika and the Sudan, will be screened at the Eltham talkies to-night and to-morrow night. Some of the most interesting sights in animal and native life have been faithfully recorded by the camera. Apart from being highly educative, it has many unbelievably thrilling sequences, and it leaves one wondering how it was managed. The spectator can rest assured it is all genuine, as the whole film was definitely taken as seen. The second picture, “When a Man's a Man,” is the picturisation of Harold Bell Wright’s famous novel of the old west, which has been read by, and thrilled millions. George O’Brien, the popular western star, and Dorothy Wilson have the star roles.
