AMUSEMENTS

Opera House Now Showing: “None Shall Escape,’ starring Marsha Hunt and Henry Travers. “NONE SHALL ESCAPE” A picture most prophetic of our time, now showing at the Opera House, is “None Shall Escape,’ a startling revelation of things to come when the present world conflict has drawn to a conclusion. Certainly, the story is most unusual and a daring departure from the pictures we have already seen, dealing with the inhuman and terrible results of Nazi sadism. This one brings us to the glorious day when peace shall come through unconditional surrender of our vicious enemies, and a long suffering and righteous people bring the “master race” face to face with its victims. , , It’s a good thing to be reminded now that that day will come and that we should prepare for it. War criminals must and will be punished, and steps must be taken to prevent such persuasive men who have ruined ,the present world ever to come into power again. “None Shall Escape,” was written with this in mind, and the story opens with Nazi General Wilhelm Grimm, symbol of all depraved Nazism, standing in the world court of justice, facing his accusers. One by one, they tell their pathetic stor-ies-and it is said that the recounting is so shockingly true, so terribly Trank as to make “None Shall Escape” a picture you will never forget. The stirring climax is. we certainly; hope, a forecast of things to come. Alexander Knox, Marsha Hunt, Erik Rolf, and Henry Travers play the leading roles.
