modern office maintained by
Charlie Hart, the leading char
acter, that the man is anything
but q prosperous real estate
dealer. Velvet curtains. the solid
mahogany desk, the well-filled
bookcases and efficient looking
files, all suggest business integ-
rity. But the camouflage Of this
apparent respectability Is revealed
the instant Hart speaks to the
rat-faced man covering beside
him. The master bootlegger Is
planning the destruction Of his
victims squealer.
Special significance Is added to
this production by the fact that
Jack Holt, the screens most
popular Western hero, appears in
the role Of Hart. This Is the first
time Holt has tried an underworld
character. His portrayal Of the
role Is convincing. Dorothy
Revier plays opposite Holt, and
The Washington times., 1930-10-17

The chief concern of the man
who pursues the lawless trade OF
bootfegging is to camouflage his
calling. with this end in view,
he frequently pretends to be en-
gagged in some perfectly respect
able business. To make the decep-
ton more convincing, some even
90 so far as to maintain impress
Sive offices and employ an et-
ficient staff of assistants.
SO carefully is the true nature
of the bootlegger's business con-
ceaied, that, frequently, his own
secretary does not know that the
letters she is writing are not what
they seem, but are in code. In
many cases, this camouflage is
made necessary by the fact that
the bootleg chief Is keeping his
real calling secret from his so
ciety friends and club members,
even from his own wife and
family.
An interesting insight into the
methods employed by these up-to-
date lawbreakers Is revealed in
THE Squealer," the drama now

Theater. One would never suspect
by looking at the well-furnished,
