Shows coming to the Cave City
theater seem to be getting better
and better. Following “Bambi”,
which proved one of the most pop
ular pictures for a long time,
comes “Assignment in Brittany”
which is considered one of the very
best war pictures.
We know some of you do not
like war pictures, and we are not
too fond of them, but this one
should be seen to help us realize
exactly what is going on across the
ocean. It will do us good to see i
some of the experiences that our |
boys are going through. Maybe,
we can appreciate our own position I
a little better, and it might have
a stimulating influence to buy a 1
few more war bonds.
The story is a very interesting I
one, and concerns a British spy I
who is sent to impersonate a Poilu j
and find a submarine base that is
raising caine with allied shipping.
Pierre Aumont, former French
screen and stage star and a World
War veteran from the first war, I
was chosen for the star role with
Susan Peters, one of the new stars
of the screen who is gaining much
recognition.
Aumont goes to the place and
gets along fine until a former I
sweetheart of the man he is im-1

personating finds out he is a Brit-1

him. His escape is one of the most i
sensational scenes ever given the
screen. The story ends all right |
and the British spy gets back
home, but what he goes through
with before his mission is accom
plished is something to make us
remember.
