THRILLS OF A LIFETIME IN QUEEN'S THEATRE FILM

With Rubert Montgomery, Wal- ter Huston, Madge Evans and Jimmy Durante in an exceptional cast, and a striking panorama of war at sea as its backgroud, "Hell Below" Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's thrilling drama of aubmarine war- fare, is showing at the Queen's to provide a talkie entertainment which combines adventure, rom- ance and comedy.

Based on the novel, "Pigboats," by Commander Edward Ellsberg, and filmed with navy co-operation and with actual submarines, the. picture. uses the naval action in the Mediterranean during the World War as a thunderous back- ground for the central rumance, much as was the case in "The Big Parade."

Magniscent Climax.

Montgomery and Huston, as the two officers, provide the dramatic conflict, with Madge Evans as the heroine who eauses "plently of ex- citement and in the final climax precipitates a stirring heroic gas ture, Jhamy Durante and Eugene.. Pallette provide a running fire, of comedy relief against such thrills as torpedoing enemy destroyers, fighting off enemy aircraft, and the hair-raising

episode in which Montgomery rams & fort with an explosive-laden submarine in order to blow it up and thus bottle up" enemy vessels in a harbour."

Montgomery,

Huston, Miss Evans, Durante, Pallette and Ro- bert Young, are uniformly excel lent in the principal roles and the fine supporting oust includes Ed- win Styles, John Lee Mahin, David Newill, Sterling Hollyway.. and Charles Irwin."
