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.
