Capacity attendance at Warmers
State theater yesterday marked the
opening performances of Five
Graves To Cairo with Franchot
Tone and Anne Baxter in co-star-
ring roles and featuring Akin
Tamiroff and Eric Won Stroheim
as Field Marshal Rommel.
The much-heralded behind-the-
scenes thriller with Rommels loss
Of the African continent as its CEN
trail idea tells a thrill-packed story
set down in the locale over which
Rommel was chased back and forth
for many months by the British
Eighth Army.
Tony playing Corporal Bramble
of the British Tank Corps, stag
gers, delirious, into the Empress of
Britain, a dilapidated hotel presided
over by Akin Tamiroff, and Mouche
the French chambermaid, played by
Miss Baxter Bramble discovers
that the hotel is to be occupied by
the Germans, led by Rommel Tone,
in as fine bit of screen skulldrug-
gerry as has been seen here in long
time, succeeds with the aid of
Tamiroff and Miss Baxter in learn
ing the meaning of the Five
Graves to Cairo" Rommels secret
weapon and aids in stemming the
Nazi march on Egypt. That, briefly
is the plot. Filled out by competent
acting on the part of the princi-
pals, all the thrilling situations
form into a pattern of intrigue
which left yesterdays audiences
limp.
A generous dash of Nazi loath-
someness is added to the picture by
Won Stroheim's excellent portrayal
of Rommel. The veterans character
actor adds considerably to his repu-
tation as one of the most hated
men on the screen in this role.
In addition to Tone, Miss Baxter
Tamiroff and Won Stroheim, For
tino Bonanova playing an Italian
general contributes performance
which helps to make Five Graves
to Cairo" a memorable screen event.

new threat 10 the Allied position

II is a development of poten-

submarine strength the japanese
have been able 10 muster and
the ability of the Allied feet
and air force 10 Offset II.
A spokesman for Gen. Mac
Arthur referred 70 II as being
as efficient" as the NaZi sub
marine campaign in the Atlantic.
If that also means II Is on the

THE LENGTH of time the

In the II months since they
entered the war they have been
building UP undersea boats as a
major weapon. II is linked oni-
nously with the air strength
which they have just as methodi-
cally developed in the islands.
The Germans are relying
almost entirely on their subma-
rine strength for offensive pur-
poses against the Allies their
air striking power in the West
having been nullified, probably
for the duration of the war.
The Japanese. on the other
hand, are developing an aerial
offensive power which, COM
bined with their as yet unknown
submarine strength, presents a
menace 10 Allied strategy which
is too grave to be considered
lightly.
THE COMBINATION can be
used defensively TO block Allied
efforts TO drive northwards and
dislodge the japanese from their

be used Extensively for an all out
