Lieutenant General Dwight Eisenhower cables from Africa: "Motion pictures are of the utmost importance to provide entertainment and build up the morale. Newsreels are specially of tremendous value providing for the soldiers the means of keeping up with their friends in other theatres of war and with their families at home. The stories and the sets in the feature productions bring their home country vividly to their memories. Let's have more motion pictures." *••■'• And anyone in the Navy as well as anyone out of it will stand up and cheer for "Stand By For Action". This is a screen play based on the story you may have read in Reader's Digest entitled "Cargo of Innocence". Three Big Guns are the stars: Robert Taylor, Charles Laughton and Brian Donlevy. * * * + Nor must we (and who will ever?) forget the performance of Walter Brennan. • • • • Old Reliable Robert Z. Leonard directed. The "Z" stands for Zenith. This is that of his career. • • • • "Stand By For Action" is a mighty picture of the battle-wagons in the Pacific. It is a thrill. • • • • This is a preliminary to the ushering in of the new Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn opus "Keeper of The Flame". How many of you have read I. A. R. Wylie's book?
