Local Woman's Brother Portrayed In Metro Film Go For Broke
Go For Broke opens at the Avon theater next Tuesday night and centers on the 442nd Combat Team led by Gen. Charles Pence, brother of Mrs. John Alexander.

The film stars Van Johnson and depicts the 442nd’s service in Italy, earning the unit the highest decorations in World War II. Pence, now chief of staff of the Army Sixth Corps, previously trained the 442nd in the United States. Pence’s wife lived in Lebanon during the war and served with Red Cross here. The film debuted in Honolulu, with 442nd veterans inviting Pence to attend, and he also attended the New York premiere as a guest of M G M. The general calls the movie very authentic and compares well with Battleground.
