OCTAGON THEATRE
A CLEVER COMEDY Comedy and drama are cleverly combined in "To Be or Not To Be,” which will commence a season at the Octagon Theatre to-morrow. The film is the last one made bv Carole Lombard before her death, and is described as her best production. The ' chief characters are a party of actors in a theatre in Warsaw, at the time of the German invasion in 1939. The circumstances force them to discard their theatrical roles, and they eventually become involved in adventures that surpass any they ever enacted upon the stage. A dramatic point of the story is reached when the actors, to save themselves, impersonate many important Nazi figures, including Herr Hitler. Numerous complications arise before the troupe escapes to England, narrowly avoiding the clutches of the Gestapo.
