RENOWN THEATRE
GREAT DRAMA OF SEA i • . No praise is. too high for the magniflcent qualities of "San De'metrio — London," which comes to the Renown Theatre on Friday and Saturday. , Telling with unsurpassed faith- . fulness and dramatic power the i real-life story of the survivors of ' an oil tanker who, in 1940, brought their ship safely home, despite ' shelling, flre, storm and tempest, enduring -unbellevable hardship with stoic fortitude, the picture is brilliant both as to the sincerity of its acting and the exceptionally high standard of its technical qualities. Alive with humour, touched with ' pathos, and always inspiring and . forceful, the subject is one which will hold any and every andience j engrossed from first to last. Of its ! cast of sixty, it would be invidious to single out any for especial mention, each and every one lives his ' role, and all are irreproachabie in their closeness to real liie.
