Elsie has vanished, and Dagwood is left literally holding the sack. To make it worse, bis endorsement was backed by a lien upon hjs household f.urniture. The conflict between Jimmy Keenan who goes his own right way 'of living,' and his brother who is the most successful racketeer in New York, provides thrills aplenty in ‘‘Streets of New York,” the other feature. The brother does not interfere with Jimmy’s night-schooling to become a lawyer, or with his support of little Gimpy. an orphaned crippled boy. by selling newspapers, but it is to Jimmy he turns when he Is hunted for the killing of a policeman.
