ACADEMY THEATRE

CURRENT PROGRAMMES Underground rebellion against brutal oppression has been used as background for one of the most'fixciting films to come from Hollywood, Warner Bros.’ “Underground,” to be shown at the Academy Theatre tonight, to-morrow and on Wednesday. True happenings were brought to light revealing just how the revolutionaries in Germany and the Nazidominated countries operate. Most ingenius is the one chosen for the theme of “Underground.” It’s the illegal radio, which broadcasts the -truth to the nation. Members of the group occupied with this work are in constant danger of their lives. Government locators can quickly spot them. Therefoi’e they are constantly shifted around from one outlying territory to another. This phase of the 20th Century will prove as interesting as it is illuminating to the public. And from an entertainment standpoint, the exciting film story woven around it should enhance its appeal. The film tells of brother pitted against brother, , neighbour against neighbour, and the strange kinds of love that are born in lands where people are afraid to talk and think.
