FINAL SHOWING TO-DAY

"Yesterday Enemy" is a great war dim. It E remarkable for its stark, honest setting out of the moral dilemmas which must arise in war. And

It is remarkable for its vivid portrayal of the courage and endurance of men struggling at close quarters against the enemy in the dense jungle of Burma.
