aot PUBLIC MENACE NO. I The rats of the rackets, those human parasites who live on the hard-won earnings of honest people, are rapidly becoming the most serious criminal element this country has ever known. Entrenched in 88 cities of over 100,000 population and reaching into thousands of surrounding towns, this brain trust behind the crime _ trust last year robbed the American poeple of 15 billion dollars! Huge sums extorted from hardworking business men! A steady flood of pennies, nickels and dimes, drained daily from the purses of home owners, laborers, and housewives! This new dictatorship of modern gangdom has succeeded in robbing the public of more gold than we have in the national treasury. How long will you tolerate this? How long will you allow this secret syndicate of crime to move unmolested? How long will these billions of dollars pour into illegal hands? THE PUBLIC ENEMIES AREN’T ALL BEHIND BARS —TOO MANY OF THEM STILL PREY ON INNOCENT PEOPLE, SUCKING THE LIFE BLOOD OF A NATION FROM ‘THOSE TO WHOM IT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS! Warner Bros. have caught the dramatic intensity of “G-Men” in their latest film disclosure, “Bullets or Ballots”.

It may be just a picture— but it’s truth! See it—and learn some amazing facts about your self, while being completely and enjoyably entertained. “PM WARNING YOU, FENNER!

Robinson Repeats Success Of ‘Little Caesar’ Back in a part which affords him all of the opportunities for eharacterization that “Little Caesar’ gave him, Edward G. Robinson, one of the finest actors on stage or screen is now playing the stellar role in First National’s “Bullets or Ballots”. In this film he plays the part of a hard-boiled detective of the twofisted school who breaks up an or~ ganization of racketeers. For a long time Robinson was not entirely satisfied with his screen roles. He thought he should like to play again a character resembling “Little Caesar”. In that, the role which catapulted him to stardom, the character was so strong that ever since, although that was made several years ago, he has been identified with it. In “Bullets or Ballots” he has such a role. As Johnny Blake he plays a clear-cut, definite character, as definite as anything he has ever done, save this time he is on the side of law and order. “So I’m glad to have a role as strong as ‘Little Caesar’ in a picture equally as exciting, equ: ally as fast moving in its absorbing story.. The picture, “Bullets or Ballots” was directed by William Keighley, from the screen play by Seton I. ‘Miller, based on the story by Mar tin Mooney and Miller. In the cast are such talented players as Joan Blondell, Barton. MacLane, Humphrey Bogart, Frank McHugh, Joseph King and many others.
