Attracted by the intelligent appearance of the little ani- mal, Tom and his mother take the little 'roo' in and christen him 'Chut'. Tom teaches Chut to box, and as he grows into a strong, stalwart animal he learns to put up a real boxing bout with his master. Trouble comes to the ranch and Tom is forced to turn Chut over to Shorty McGee, a circus man. Chut becomes a sensation at the circus but is treated cruelly by McGee. Chut takes his whippings meekly until McGee's cruelty becomes unbearable. Then he turns on McGee and gives his tor- mentor a fatal beating before escaping into the wilderness. Tom Henton recovers Chut and brings him back to the ranch where happy days are seen again." Producer "An absorbing tale of the Australian wilderness—tense and exciting portrayal of the pathetic trust of wild animals and the cruel savagery of humanity." School management "It is a wild animal picture of the 'Se- quoia' type to which it is comparable." Motion picture herald el-Jh-sh Young eagles. lOOmin 16-sd-rent $9 1934 * Eastin F Produced by Romance productions, inc. "The adventure of two Eagle Scouts on a trip to Central America. A story of their fight through the jungle after their crash in an airplane." School management "This film displays the work of the Boy Scout in actual situations. The scout laws are brought out clearly through the ad- venture of the two boys, and their dog Johnson who brought a lot of human in- terest into the story. The wild animal life added excitement and thrills to the story. The audience could be held for a long period with this picture as you did not know what was going to happen next. The crash of the plane at the end of the first reel and the quick planning of the events to follow made the two boy scouts out- standing figures in the feature. Of all features I have seen for boys I don't know of any other film as interesting as this one. I called in three scout leaders to see the film and their opinion was, 'That is the best film we have seen for boys.'
