You don't think of a little old lady, running an honest newspaper in a crooked town, because that's the way her dead husband would have wanted it run. But it takes courage to defy an organization of crooked politicians, grown strong and fat on graft. It takes courage to fight for freedom the hard way — with everyone else letting things drift and maybe thinking you're a little crazy to try and reform a town at your age. Sometimes it seems to Vinnie McLeod (Grace George) that it takes more courage than she has. Sometimes she's almost ready to give up. It's at one of those times that she meets a hobo named Richards (James Cagney). He's lying in the park reading Dickens, (Continued on page 8) When tramp Tom Richards Cagney) is arrested, newspaper owner Mrs. McLeod (Grace George) has him released on parole. Mrs. McLeod's pretty niece Jane (Marjorie Lord) betrays her deep love for Dougherty's son Pete (Bill Henry) during a heated battle with Richards. For sake of love-struck son's happiness, Dougherty leaves town; Mrs. M. calls off fight. Pete and Jane are reconciled. His job done, Richards exits. MODERN SCREEN ————■■Ml
