"Hell B e 1 o w," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's thrilling drama of sub marine warfare, opens today at the Hollywood i theatre. . Based on the novel. "Plgboats. by Commander Edward Ellsberg, and filmed with navy cooperation and -with actual submarines, the picture uses the naval action In the Mediterranean during the World war as a thunderous back' ground for the central romance, much as was the case In The Big Parade." -1 Montgomery and Huston, as the two officers, provide the dramatic conflict, with Madge Evans as the heroine who causes plenty of ex citement and in the final climax precipitates a stirring heroic ges ture. Jimmy Durante and . Eugene Pallette provide running fire of comedy relief against such y&rills t mm as torpedoing enemy destroyersXrited to attend and learn how, fighting off enemy aircraft, and the hair-raising episode in which Montgomery rams a fort with an explosive-laden submarine in or der to blow it up and thus bottle up enemy vessels in a harbor. . Montgomery, Huston.

In reality all he needed was a recharge and a few inexpensive repairs to his storage battery to bring his car back to normal."
