N Signe Hasso Is Cast 'Mazie Goes To Reno' At Rialto A great star, in a great story, based on a great novell That's the new Spencer Tracy film, "The Seventh Cross," adapted from Anna Seghers' eel elebrated book, which opens to day at the Craterian theatre. "The Seventh Cross," story of even who escaped a Nazi con centration camp, and particular ly of George Heisler (played by Mr. Tracy), is one of the most dramatic offerings in many, many months. Directed with acumen and understanding by Fred Zinnemann and produced by Pandro S. Berman, tt fea tures a' superb cast including Signe Hasso, Hume Cronyn, Jes sica Tandy; Felix Bressart and many other outstanding per formers. Tracy has surpassed his tri umphs in "A Guy Named Joe" and other of his recent hits, and Miss Hasso is not only lovely to look at but turns in an exciting portrayal as Toni, who shelters Heisler from the Nazis. , "The Seventh Cross" tells of the successful escape of one of seven fugitives from a concen tration camp in the fall of 1936 when, although war had not yet begun, such camps were fast filling with German citizens who rejected the Nazi creed. "M'aisie Goes to Reno'' and "Racket Man" will provide the twin-bill entertainment at the Rialto starting today. What's Doing at U. S.
