 The authentic behind the scenes story of Eagle Squadron" tells of actual experiences of many Ameri- can aviators who preceded their own countrys entrance into the war by joining the RATS Eagle Squadron in October, 1940.

STRAND

The Strands current screen offer ing of two first run, initial Water bury showing, features is eliciting naught but favorable comments. Headlining this double treat is a thrilling drama of actual prison life titled Men Of San Quentin, with J. Anthony Hughes, Eleanor Stewart Dick Curtis and Charles Middleton. The story opens with the fearful tranquility that follows the slay- ing of a guard. Solitary cells are damned with inmates, the guards restless, and a political upheaval impending. Written by Martin Mooney, veteran reporter, play wright, screen author and crimin- ologist, it's a tensely realistic drama of convict life, which presents au- thentic camera shots of the ancient bastille's interior. This Is the first time in the penitentiary's history that permission was granted for filming a picture within its gloomy walls.
 Bad Men Of The Hills", featur- ing Charles Starrett and Russell Hayden, with Eleanor Stewart and Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards in the supporting cast, is the second thrill hit on the same program.
