TOMORROW’S PROGRAMME. How a spy ring is organised and operated, with its head men unknown to the rank and file of agents working for it. how these agents are checked and observed by other agents to prevent double-crossing, and. above ail. how counter-spies make their way into the organisation and pretend to work for it while actually reporting its secrets to the other side, are subjects thrillingly disclosed in RKO Radio's "They Made Her a Spy," featuring Sally Eilers and Allan Lane, tvhich will be shown at the Alfredton pictures on Thursday night.

By disclosing .he operations of such groups, "They Made Her a Spy" is said to perform a leal service in awakening the public to lhe dangers of foreign espionage and sabotage, acts of which are frequently chronicled in the newspapers.
