TRUNK SHOW

The Museum of Modern Art’s mammoth film series “112 Years of Cinema” screens “Elephant Boy” (1937), a British film based on a Rudyard Kipling story. In his first film role, Sabu plays a young elephant keeper who saves his animal from mistreatment by driving it into the woods. There, he witnesses a majestic “dance of the wild elephants.” Sabu, probably the first Indian movie star, went on to portray Mowgli in the classic live-action version of Kipling’s “The Jungle Book,” which, like “Elephant Boy,” was directed by Zoltan Korda. Tonight, 6 p.m., Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53rd St. at Fifth Avenue, 212-708-9480, $10 general, $8 seniors, $6 students, free for children under 16. Note: Tickets do not include admission to the museum, but the cost may be applied to a museum ticket within 30 days. Paying the full museum admission allows admission to same day screenings.
