streets. The story of James
AloySius is told in THE Great
OMalley," now showing at the
Earle Theater.
Just Doing His Duty
OMalley was not only a pain in
the neck to those who lived on his
beat, but to his superior officers as
well. The newspapers found his
continual efforts to enforce ar
Chaic city ordinances made good
copy. The captain of his precinct
called him on the carpet time
and again for his ruthless hand
ing out of tickets. asking him to
temper justice with mercy, but
OMalley was pig-headed. And you
couldn't fire a man from the force
for doing his duty.
The captain did the next best
thing. He detailed OMalley to
the job of eSCorting school children
over a busy East Side intersection.
That didn't feaze O'Malley. How
crippled child and a pretty
school teacher soften O'MaHey
makes a story rich in entertain
ment value. The picture is called
to the particular attention of
members of the uniformed force,
especially those delegated to the
enforcement of traffic laws.
Pat O'Brien was a perfect choice
for the role of OMalley and Sybil
Jason does good job as the
crippled child. Humphrey Bogart,
who had the lead role in the
BLACK Legion" plays the child'S
father who blameS OMalley for
being sent to prison.
Mary Gordon, with a thick Irish
brogue, is O'Malley'S mother, and
provides many a good laugh. Ann
Sheridan is the school teacher and
love interest.
