Where? Why, to "The Gang's All
Here,", the bHUiant new technicol
or musical triumph which starts
today at the Capitol theatre.
Noted for its sensational musi
cal entertainments, '"20th, Century-
bx has put everything in this new
romance-song-comedy fiesta, and
the result is a hit that future screen
musicals will be measured by.
toiarrea - in va -proaucuon are
Alice '.Fjsfyej Carmen - Miranda, ' ra
dio's man with "the 64 question,
PhilBak'ef and the king of swing,
Benny Goodman and his' famous
Orchestra. Backing up this galaxy
are many of the screen's most pop
ular favorites. The story has been
ingeniously ; fashioned " to provide
each and every one of these play
ers opportunities ' to appear at his
peak." ', . f ;;: ; - J - -r-.M
Alice Faye, singer in the famous
club New Yorker, meets James El
lison, a soldier spending his last
night of leave. ; Pretending he has
no friends in New York, Ellison
wins Alice's sympathy , and they
do the town" with Alice promis
ing to meet him at the station the
next day to say "good-bye."
Ellison's wealthy father, Eugene
allette, and Erward Everett Hor
ton and Charlotte Greenwood, par
ents of Ellison's fiancee, Sheila
Ryan, throw a big farewell party
for him,' but lie breaks away to
meet Alice. " s
Shipped overseas, Ellison con
trives to keep both girls interested.
When news comes that he is re
turning home, his father . deter
mines to give him a royal welcome,
and hires the ientire club New
Yorker cast, including Carmen Mi.
randa and Phil Baker,' to put on a
show at which admission will be
by war bond purchase only." Re
hearsing the show, Alice and Shei
la, each unaware that the other is
in love with Ellison, become fast
friends. ' I
Ellison's return brings every
thing to a climax a climax that is
at once hilarious, tuneful, roman
tip and eye-filling. All ends well,
but only after a series of riotous
incidents, spectacular m u s i c a
numbers, and a special Phil Baker
Take-It-Or-Leave-It" program.

Columbia's powerfully dramatic film "None Shall Escape,'
which opens today at the Grand,

phetic picture of bur time, is Bow

This! moving -drama" sho ws the
whole horrible tragedy of nazi
brutality-fa n d demands punish
ment. Every phase of it is shock
ingly true, so terribly frank that
it sears the screen 'with, its life
shattering story. "
It! shows the nazi swine who
killed his own brother: the one
who; let his own mother die in a
nazi concentration camp; the Ratzi
who; pillaged and brutalized 'his
own people; how lash by lash they
pillaged .their way across a conting

" Played byji cast of. brilliant ac

an impact no one will ever forget.
Marsha, Hunt as Maria Pacier
kowski, a village school-teacher,
who lis one of the chief victims of
nazi domination, gives a ' heart
stopping performance of sheer ar
tistry. ;i WhUe Henry Travers,' as
Father Varecki,- the: village p'riest,
ou idoes his usual 'sympathetic
characterization with a perform
ance which stamps him as one of
the greatest players of this type
of role the screen has ever seen.
Still on the sympathetic side of the
story is Richard Hale as Rabbi Le
vin. In his performance, Hale un
derstandingly projects a compos
ite portrait of all the sufferings of
the Jewish race. . 4 -

portrayal of Mark Twain, Fredric
March found : it necessary . to steal
a feW days in which to become re-
acquainted ' with a chap . named
Fredric March.
For 12 weeks he saw very little
of the March fellow, even in the
mirror. He lost track of his per
sonal interests, got behind in his
reading v and lebrrespondencer and
became sadly out of touch with his
affairs. t'' H r ; u' X
J. Ordinarily", March 'does' not sub
scribe to the theory that an actor
must Uve a character to bring, him
to the sCTeeh convmcinglyrHo has
an idea there's ' an . art called act
ing which makes that unnecessary.
i He. however, found 7 the late
Samuel Clemens a most possessiye
exception Jo the usual run of char
acters. ' From tne tune ne startea
"The Adventures of Mark Twain,"
there were only sleeping hours left
for the real-life Fredric March. .
12 Hours by Pay . , ; " ;
'From six to six as the clock flies
the 'daylight !. circuit, he was, not
only required 'to , look like Mark'
Twain but to "talk and ; think like
him.- Two, often three hours in
the Warner Bros, makeup depart
ment each morning erased the last
vestiges of Fredric March from his
appearance, j Eight, frequently rune
and sometimes ten, hours of reliv-
ng Twai n's experiences and
speaking in jTwain's voice, crowd
ed March out of his thoughts. .
In . view of the fact that he ap
pears in .419 of the picture's 439
scenes and didn't have a day off
while it was in production, this
would have been monopolistic
enough. But Twain even moved
in on his home life. .
When her husband started the
characterization, Mrs. March sud
denly discovered Twain. She
bought a complete set of his works
and read all of his biographies,
When March came home in the
evening he found the frau chuck
ling over the witty writings of the
man he'd been playing all - day.
When the two children, Pene
lope and Tony got into the collec
tion and began asking him to read
"Tom Sawyer," "Huckleberry
Finn" and lj"The Prince and the
Pauper" to them, March gave up
the ' ghost of his own identity.
There was nothing left for him but
to be a full-time Mark Twain for
"the duration."
