She is to go to Halifax with the information. But she is kidnapped by Nazi spies, and in attempting to escape, she is hurt in a traffic accident. She is taken to a hospital, suffering from a temporary amnesia, and is attended by Dr. Michael Lewis (John Garfield). She recovers quickly, however, and confides her story to the doctor. He only half believes her, and is even less inclined to do so when a Mr. Goodwin (Moroni Olsen) turns up and claims her as his daughter. Goodwin calls a famous psychiatrist, Dr. Ingersoll (Raymond Massey) into consultation on Jane’s case, and Ingersoll suggests that Goodwin take Jane home. Lewis is also asked to come along to assist Ingersoll on the case. At Goodwin’s home, a big country estate, the two young people find themselves virtually prisoners. Now Lewis begins to believe Jane’s story that Goodwin is heading a ring of Nazi spies who want to get information from her. Lewis escapes to try to get help but while he is gone, Goodwin takes the girl away. Ingersoll has Lewis thrown into a detention ward as a mental case. In the cellar of a delicatessen store in New York, there is a short-wave broadcasting station. There Ingersoll gets in touch with a German submarine flotilla waiting for the information about the location of the British ships. At the point of a gun, Jane gives him the information, but changes the latitude number. Lewis, through a clever ruse, manages to come to her rescue, and while he holds the spies at bay with a gun, she phones the British office and tells them the location she has given the submarines. A bombing squadron immediately takes off from Halifax and as the subs come to the surface to look for their prey, a terrific bombardment rains upon them, and sends them to the bottom of the ocean permanently.

(Running Time—77 min.) 12 ‘Dangerously They Live’ Ximely and Exciting Fiim “Dangerously They Live,” starring John Garfield, Nancy Coleman and Raymond Massey, has been scheduled by the Strand Theatre as its next feature attraction, to open on Friday. The new Warner Bros. picture is a timely and exciting tale of a hero and his girl who go “all out” for Uncle Sam. The girl and boy who get involved in the machinations of an enemy spy ring, are played by Naney Coleman, Warner Bros. newest dramatic “find,” and John Garfield, one of the screen’s most talented young stars. Pitted against them are Raymond Massey, as a brilliant and famous psychiatrist, and Moroni Olsen, as a wealthy business man, both of whom are working for the Fifth Column, in this country. The secretary at the British Export Bureau is kidnapped by members of the spy ring, who want to get information on when and where a fleet of ships laden with cargo for Great Britain are to meet their protective convoy. The girl manages to escape from her captors by jumping out of a cab. She is injured and taken to the hospital. She tells her story to a sympathetic young interne, but since she is suffering from a slight brain concussion, and isn’t even sure of her own identity, he takes the story with a grain of salt. He becomes more inclined to believe her, howeverwhen a well-dressed gentleman arrives and claims her as his daughter. The girl protests that he is not her father. Then the man calls in a famed pyschiatrist who is well known to the interne by reputation. They arrange to move the girl out of the hospital at once, and at the girl’s insistence they also take the interne along to “assist in the case.” The two young people are positive that something is wrong when they are taken to a beautiful estate in the country and made virtual prisoners, and they soon find out that it is in reality a centre of Nazi spy activity.

She does talk and gives all the information which they want — except one small but important point, which she somehow manages to keep back. Trying to help her, the interne escapes and gets the justice of peace from a nearby town. Instead of arresting the others, the police take the pyschiatrist’s word that the young doctor is a mental case and he is tossed into a detention ward. Meanwhile the girl, at the point of a gun, gives them the location of the ships. They contact the German sub marine flotilla and give them the location, then she reveals that she gave them false information. Her young rescuer again makes a daring escape, and armed, breaks into the place where she is being held. Together, they not only foil the enemy plot, but get word to British Intelligence of the exact location of the German submarines. “Dangerously They Live,” was directed by Robert Florey, from the screen play by Marion Parsonnet. Besides Garfield, Miss Coleman, Massey and Olsen, the featured cast includes Esther Dale, Lee Patrick Christian Rub, Roland Drew, Frank Reicher and many others. Raymond Massey As Villain in Strand Film Broadway and Hollywood just don’t see eye to eye, and that makes life interesting for Raymond Massey. In his latest picture, ‘“Dangerously They Live” with John Garfield, he is enacting a “heavy.” In fact, whenever Massey takes a picture—with the exception of “Abe Lincoln in Illinois,” in which he played Lincoln—he is always being cast as a menace. On Broadway, however, Massey has been regarded as one of the leading heroes of the stage. He first achieved fame there as Hamlet some years ago and he has played stainless, virtuous knights every season. “T hope Hollywood keeps using me as a villain,” he says. “It makes life interesting.” Nancy Coleman Makes Auspicious Film Debut Few girls ever achieve their childhood ambitions, but Nancy Coleman realized two of them at once. When Nancy was a child in Everett, Wash., she used to await anxiously the yearly visit of the Moroni Olsen Stock Company. Nancy got the theatre bug from the visiting players and set her heart on being a star and playing in the same show with Olsen. Now Nancy is starring in Warner Bros.’ “Dangerously They Live” with John Garfield, and who should be cast as the heavy but Moroni Olsen? Nancy is still so awe-stricken that she can’t bring herself to call him Moroni. She still addresses him as “Mr. Olsen,” John Garfield Uses Strategy vs. Strength They’ve not kidding when they call the villains “heavies” in Warner Bros.’ new film “Dangerously They Live.” John Garfield, their adversary, considers them as forbidding as the line of a football team. “Dangerously They Live” is the movie scheduled to open on Friday at the Strand Theatre. In one scene in the picture Johnny found himself stacked up against Moroni Olsen, weight 202, Raymond Massey, 175, and Esther Dale, 165. Garfield, 157, looked over to his pretty leading lady. Nancy Coleman, who tips the beam at 110 and said, “We'll never lick this team by line-plunging, Nancy. Let’s try some end-runs,”
