KING KONG, 1933
Two items from the classic work of American folklore starring Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot, Robert Armstrong, and "Kong" himself. First is the most prominent drum featured in the film. Constructed of colorfully painted papier-mache, there is a leather drum head and strap at the side. This drum can clearly be seen in the scenes when the expedition first encounters the natives of "Skull Island". Back on board the ship as we hear the distant sound of the native fortress, Fay Wray exclaims, Those drums make me nervous, I guess. Just a few minutes later she is abducted and taken to the island. As Fay Wray is being prepared to be presented to Kong, this drum is again featured as a native is beating a chilling rythm. There are only three drums being featured in the film (all different sizes) and this is the most prominent. The shield is also constructed of papier mache; this particular shield was repainted for use in many other jungle films. In the film, several shield designs can clearly be seen. There are cracks on this particular shield under which is visible the original painted design--drum 17½ in high, shield 43 in. high. (2)
