NO GREATER LOVE!
“Burma Victory,” unlike any film you have ever seen, is the true story of men who experienced, and made sacrifice for, the greatest love of all—love of their country and their fellow man
This film, which comes to the Empire, Theatre to-morrow, shows no lines of endlessly marching men, duels between gun and gun, or plane and plane, for this is the stark drama of men who fought in fetid swamps against Japanese enemies they seldom saw.
Blood, toil, and sweat were true of the whole war, but never so true as when applied to the experiences of those who fought, not only the enemy, but disease and madness in the twilight which is the ''jungle. Their guts in holding on. in doing the impossible, in not only living, but fighting, in conditions indescribable, makes their name one which will go down in history, a name not only worthy to rank with, but to transcend, such inspiring names as Trafalgar, Waterloo, Mons, and Arnheim, and “ Burma Victory ” is the factual record of how they lived and died, but, whether surviving or not as individuals, how they conquered. Do not miss this inspiring epic—an unforgettable film experience r which you will never forget. Also showing, the funniest and spookiest of all George Formby’s films, I Didn t Do It.”—Published by Arrangement.
