Stone and Shirley Mason com■•U't ? , Ev fO'body' B Theatre this week in what Men?" to prove it. Xhi3 iirst Rational picture is a tense and dramatic story with an original atmosphere about it that stamps it as one with a strong ana insistent appeal, a etory livened at opportune momenta by a brisk tone of comedy which, coupled with its unusual theme onablc3 this film to rank with the more human, everyday-life pictures given us.
