D-Day week in Ohio

Playing the week of June 6, 1944 in Ohio: Betty Grable in Pin-Up Girl ("Some zing for the boys!") was in Cincinnati.
Dayton had a B-movie double feature: The Lady and the Monster with Erich von Stroheim and the Sherlock Holmes film The Scarlet Claw (set in Canada).
Dayton also had the "adult" crowd covered with Sins of Bali ("Wild virgins see men for the first time!"). This was actually a 1932 movie originally called Virgins of Bali. According to the New York Times review, it's basically a travelogue/documentary that follows a native couple courting and marrying.
The second feature is She-Devil Island, apparently some folderol about men invading an all-female island--it seems to be a lost movie but a fabulous original poster for it follows.
