This article focuses on two Hollywood pictures that are being shown in New York theaters. "Clive of India" at the Rivoli celebrates the founding in the eighteenth century of the British empire. It the story of British rule in India has suddenly become a popular film subject, it may only be because it is so rich in opportunities for playing on the more ferocious modes of heroic conduct. "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" is the better film only in the sense that in covering more ground it provides a more considerable distraction for the eye. An expensive display of Hollywood incoherence, it is at least colorful, noisy and varied in movement.
