HEROIC REPORTER
“Bl LLETS OK BALLOTS." A dramatic thunderbolt with all lhe dynamic power of "Little Ce?.sar,“ comes to the Majestic Theatre shortly in the “Bullets or Ballots,” a First National production starring Edward G. Robinson. As “Johnny Blake,” a hard-boiled detective who joins a gang to smash the vicious New York Numbers racket and other racketeering, he is more vital, more compelling, and more human than he has ever been before. From the first shot to the smashing climax, there is one dynamic action-filled scene after another. Lavishly mounted, b?aut’fully photographed, and with a superlative cast including Joan Blondcll, Humphrey Bogart. Barton Mac Lane, and Frank McHugh, it is something new in screen entertainment. The story is that of Martin Mooney, the heroic newspaper reporter, who went to I gaol rather than reveal to a New i York grand jury his news sources of racketeering.
