RECENT THEATRE—FinaIIy Toni cj I if: “The Men in Her Life. Friday: “49th Parallel.” . . “491.1 i Parallel” is a message ol irresistible power . . . never did a story more clearly reveal the message of democracy and the ultimate File of dictators and the dictated. Thu title springs from the geography book. The 49th Parallel marks the boundary line between Canada and tlie U.S.A., the only undefended li-untier in the world. The intensely drmnatic story is a saga of high adventure, quietly emphasising the peri ct understanding between the two gri’at democracies —the United States u'f America and Canada. It shows what happens Io six Nazi U-boat sailors marooned on the Canadian I', their furtive, thieving, murderous dash across the Dominion in search of safe refuge in the then neutral U.S.A, and their ultimate ends.
