We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

At last! The world is going to see the dramatic picturization of the most hushhush secret of all time.
★ ★ ★ ★
M-G-M has made the picture of pictures, “The Beginning or the End” — the story of the beginning of a new civilization or the end of civilization itself — the dramatic story of the atomic bomb. ★ ★ ★ ★
When you see “The Beginning or the End”, you'll virtually become a part of the events that were so fraught with drama, danger, and above all — suspense.
★ ★ ★ ★
You’ll meet the men who enrolled in the army of mystery.
★ ★
And you will know, too, the nerve-fraying tension of their relentless race against time.
★ ★ ★ ★
Here is the story of the hour, the burning topic of the moment, the greatest “must” picture in the history of pictures.
You'll enter the forbidden city at Oak Ridge.
★ ★ ★ ★
You’ll meet the only girl who knew the terrifying secret.
M-G-M has assembled top talent for this mighty production. Brian Donlevy, Robert Walker, Tom Drake and Beverly Tyler (the celebrated “Green Years” lovers), beautiful Audrey Totter, Hume Cronyn and many more. Each contributes an unforgettable performance.
★ ★ ★ ★
To Producer Samuel Marx, Director Norman Taurog, and to the many others who had their part in picturizing the greatest drama of our time, we offer congratulations on an entertainment unique in motion pictures.
