thrilling and absorbing! story. It
dramatizes the present situation in
America, when , foreign propaganda
battles . for victory with native , pa
triotism, and shows the actual strug

that sometimes - separates families.
The arguments that drive home, the
truth' to Matthew and George Alden
in "Draft 258" ' will prove of value
to every person who sees this pic-,
ture.
William Christy Cabanne directed
"Draft 258'," and he and, June Mathis
wrote -it. - Mr. Cabanne is the man
who" wrote and directed Metro's great
patriotic production, "The Slacker,"
and "Draft 258"-is even greater than
"The Slacker, if such ' a thing is
possible. "Draft 258" will carry a
message , straight . into the heart of
every person ,in the, audience. De
