GRAND THEATRE

A dramatic story of America s flying ma rines and their gallant efforts to rid the North Atlantic of Axis submarines is realistically brought to the screen in Atlantic Convoy,” which is showing at the Grand Theatre. The action takes place at a flying base somewhere in Iceland, where Bruce Bennett, a captain in the Marine Corps, is entrusted with the task of protecting Atlantic convoys. Infuriated at recent torpedoings, most of the marines at the base suspect their weather man, played by John Beal, of informing local Nazis of convoy departures, but when things look black for him, Virginia Field enters the scene when the ship on which she is travelling is torpedoed. The him reaches a thrilling climax when Beal proves his ihnocence by risking his life in order to protect the marine harbour. The associate picture is " Sabotage Squad, which features Bruce Bennett, Kay Harris, and Eddie Norris. It is an exciting story of America’s unsung heroes of the undercover squad as they clamp down on Nazi spies in America. Box plans are at Begg’s and the theatre.
