Tlie featurettes include “Diary of a Polish Pilot,” ‘‘Strange Testament,” and scenes of the Battle of Madagascar, and the sinking of the aircraft carrier Lexington. Majestic.—Gene Autry. Smiley Burnette and a great cast of entertainers attracted large audiences at each session yesterday in “Down Mexico Way,” a spectacular milliondpllar action western extravaganza. The associate feature is Gene Stratton Porter’s story “Freckles Comes Home,” starring Johnny Downs and Gale Storm. "Jungle Girl,” chapter 10, commences at 1.45 and 7.45 p.m. King’s.—Darryl F. Zanuck again has captured a great tradition with his Technicolour production of “Maryland,” 20th Century-Fox picture, which shows to-day at the King’s Theatre.
