GRAND THEATRE
THURSDAY What "All Quiet on the Western Front" was to the armies in the late war, "The Seas Beneath" is to the competing navies. This remarkable romance of submarine warfare, created by John Ford for Fox Movietone, opens at the Grand Theatre on Thursday and skilfully combines a unique love story with a breathless and graphic portrayal of the Allied struggle against the U-boat. Opening with the departure of a determined little flotilla from New York for the Canaries with a certain German submarine as its objective, developing its strange arid sympathetic romance at the spy ridden port of Santa Cruz, and ending in a terrifie and marvellously photographed naval battle between tbe giant U-boat on one side and an American submarine and a "mystery ship" on the other, "The Seas Beneath" is truly an epic of maritime history. Especially notable. performances are given by George O'Brien and Marion Lessing in the leading roles and of Warren Hymer, William Collier, Sr., and Walter C. Kelly as the continuously battling sailors. Mark this offering down on your list as one of the films you simply cannot afford to miss.
