MOVIE NOTE
I LoUe That Man

Two years ago a gang of safe
crackers captured an entire apart
ment house next door to a bank in
Chicago, held all the occupants
prisoners for fourteen or so hours,
bored their way into the side of the
bank containing the safe deposit
boxes and got away with $3.50, 1000.
The central episode in this movie is
substantially the same story, except
that the gateway of the gang was
stopped short by the law; Will Hays
saw to that!
