Continuing "Bataan" from preceding page and please keep reading instead of looking at that Du Barry girl — "Bataan" is based on true episodes and produced with consummate showmanship. It's an attraction that will lift audiences to the skies and send them out to tell their friends of its wonders. And they'll say, repeating the powerful message of the picture: "We're coming back to Bataan!" "Bataan" starring Robert Taylor as Sergeant Bill Dane with George Murphy, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Nolan, Lee Bowman, Robert Walker, Desi Arnaz • Original Screen Play by Robert D. Andrews • Directed by Tay Garnett • Produced by Irving Starr • A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture. "DU BARRY WAS A LADY"WOW! The musical extravaganza that tops "Great Ziegfeld" glory, "Du Barry Was A Lady" is the biggest eyeful of gorgeous Technicolor musical comedy the screen has ever seen. For months M-G-M has been spreading the word across the nation, in hundreds of key city teaser ad campaigns, in full page fan magazine advertising splashes, in Esquire Magazine and now topped by a full page in full color m the nationally syndicated American Weekly supplement with its 20,000,000 readers. These readers were offered a reprint of famed artist Varga's Du Barry Girl, shown on the next page, at a cost of ten cents and the mails are clogged with thousands of replies. The public is waiting for Technicolorful "Du Barry Was A Lady," for uproarious Red Skelton, for exquisite Lucille Ball, for dances and romances by Gene Kelly, for Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra playing those Cole Porter tunes; and for the great assemblage of beauties, famed models and show-girls, those Du Barry Adorables.

The cold sadism of the lustful conqueror has never been more boldly nor more powerfully told than in this frank and stirring story of the rape of Lidice, brave village that defied the Nazi overlords and remains a symbol of revenge. How it happened is told in vivid and breathtaking screen drama, as fascinating a picture as ever held your patrons spellbound.
