On the sea experts tell us that We are
to expect battles much as they were in
the last war-only intensified in horror
hundred times by the terrific hitting
and piercing power OF the new naval
projec;iles. The air here. too, will play
a large part. Indeed il is highly prob

dramatic actors on either the stage

picture, created by Cosmopolitan

"Boomerang BilP' was written by
Jack Boyle, famous for his Boston
Blackies tales, and has proven q

Lionel Barrymore.
AS has been the case with every
one of Boyles stories, he has solved
the riddle Of injecting humanness
into crook stories. and while he al
ways points a powerful moral and
a terrific lesson. he lifts the stories
way above the plane OF preach
ment. to offer them as exceptional
entertainment, both dramatic as well
as drilling.

that the show of wealth attracts

respect the picture affords Gloria
