Summary

Pathe synopsis: King Kong never lost his head the way Dyke Richens of Chessington can flip off his face - which happens to look very like a gorilla. But he’s not apeing about, for Mr Richen’s "face" is a mask. He makes all sorts of life-like rubber masks at his home in his spare time and animals, film stars and politicians alike have all faced up to his uncompromising techniques.
