Opens Today at

If the average man or woman
were asked what picture
shatcher" is, they would probably
pass up the riddle without so much
as an effort to guess at its mean
ing.
To most people, it would have a
doubtful and somewhat illegitimate
sound, like bootlegging, smuggling
and the like.
Nevertheless, picture snatchers
and picture snatching play an i'm
portant part in the life of metro
politan newspaper.
Broadly speaking, picture
snatcher," in the slang Of journal
ism, is anybody on a newspaper
whose business it is to get the pic
lures. each day, that are necessary
to illustrate the important stories
of the current tWenty-four hours.
Such picture snatcher' is the
sort portrayed by James Cagney in
his latest Warner Bros. production,
which bears that name and starts
today at Keith's theater.
In Picture Snatcher.' as Danny,
the ex-crook, Jimmy Cagney dem
onstrated what practical asset a
disregard for law and decency can
be to a picture snatcher in the en-
ploy of one of the saffron-hued
dailieS.
Lloyd Bacon directed the picture,
which is based upon an original
story by Danny Ahearn. The Para
mount News Weekly and short sub
jects complete an enjoyable pro-
gram.
