LYCEUM TONIGHT, Vicente Blaseo Ibanez’s thrilling story, “Mare Nostrum,’’ a masterly Eex Ingram production, will be screened for the last time tonight at the Lyceum. It is a tale of the Mediterranean in the war years, of a time when death-dealing submarines lurked beneath those smiling blue waters and when they mirrored the tragic romance of a beautiful Austrian spy and a Spanish sea captain who sold his honour for her kiss. A tale of how feminine lure killed a son seeking to save his father from folly, and of a vengeance that gave rise to one of the war’s greatest maritime mysteries. What happened after the armed “Mare Nostrum’’ steamed out of Marseilles bound for that lonely spot Lu the Mediterranean known only to her captain and to those who had planned the ruthless submarine campaign'? That epic story, that strange duel in which only two shots were fired is here told for the first time. “Mare Nostrum’’ is the greatest sea picture ever made —it is filled with the charm, beauty, romance, power and cruelty that has given to the sea all its subtle, mysterious fascination.
