CIVIC THEATRE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Keyed to present-day headlines, "The Adventures of Tartu," which opens at the Civic Theatre on Tues- ! day, is a stirling drama of intrigue, ; coupled with a romance that almost : defeats its purpose.

As a British agent, he '• is ordered to blow up the Skotfa works in Czechoslovakia, where the , Nazis are turning out brrels ofi poison gas to be used against the j Allies. He also is given the respon- ! sibility of bringing back the formula. i Onc of his most difficult prob- j lems is to work his way into the good graces of the Czech under - ground.. He is given the acid test, j a sound beating, before he convinces the loyal natives his purpose is to aicl them and not to turn them over to the invader. ;
