World at war

From Here to Eternity — which screens on Friday, January 25 — follows Private Prewitt, a talented fighter, who is put through military hell because he refuses to join the regimental boxing team and is accused of insubordination after taking a stand on the unit's corruption. Full bar available. $5. 7:30pm. 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. www.valentinetheatre.com. —SR
