EMPIRE THEATRE
THRILLING WAR DRAMA Heralded as Alfred Hitchcock’s most brilliant achievement, " Saboteur,” starring Priscilla Lane and Robert Cummings, was released at the Empire Theatre yesterday. The picture is based on Hitchcock’s own story, and depicts the desperate efforts of fifth columnists to wreck “ Uncle Sam’s ” big drive for victory. A feature of the film is a cross-country chase in which Cummings, portraying ■ a Glendale (California) aircraft factory worker, falsely accused of sabotage, sets out to track down the real saboteur in order to clear his own name—a man-hunt that is brought to a climax in New York Harbour. The plot,is fast-moving, covering as it does a time elapse of only five days as its characters are sped across 13 States. The latest March of Time, presenting “ The Fighting French,” is also being shown. The editors of the March of Time throw new light on what is happening inside France. This issue takes pic,ture-goers behind the scenes to tell the story of the Frenchmen who never surrendered—the underground army and the Fighting French forces of General de Gaulle. The box plans are at the theatre and the D.I.C.
