...Rudyard Kipling's Toomai of the Elephants, filmed by famed Director Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North, Moana, Man of Arari). With his grizzled father, his father's elephant Kala Nag, an English white hunter and a group of seasoned Indian mahouts, picayune Toomai goes on a hunt for wild elephants. When a tiger kills his father, Kala Nag is given to another mahout. When the mahout mistreats him, Kala Nag runs amok. Disgusted with this situation, Toomai and Kala Nag run away from camp. A searching party finds them but by this time Toomai has found...
Amusingly highlighted by scenes showing Toomai and Kala Nag stealing melons and Toomai making Kala Nag take a bath (see cut), magnificently climaxed by the elephant hunt, superbly photographed throughout, Elephant Boy is the first of three forthcoming Kipling pictures. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer will shortly release Captains Courageous. Scheduled by RKO is Gunga Din.

Everyone was pleased. They told me, 'that is Father Divine sending his love.'" Then Hunt decided he was no longer St. John but "Jesus the Christ," with Miss Jewett as a "Virgin Mary" who should give birth to a "new redeemer." Rapidly "Jesus the Christ's" views became so unorthodox, from a Divine point of view, that the Father felt obliged to write...
...Kingston "Promised Land," Father Divine disavowed the man who had lived in his Harlem heaven and whose confessions of sexual misdeeds had proudly been spread in the official Divine Spoken Word. Meanwhile, in Pasadena, G-men found odd evidence linking Hunt and Divine and indicating Hunt's status in the cult. This was a partly-completed "throne car," being built by a coach works. It was to cost from $25,000 to $40,000 and specifications called for a 265-m.p. Duesenberg motor on a 178-inch wheelbase, the tonneau to contain a raised throne surrounded by seats...
