Akim Tamiroff and Muriel Angelus who is seen in the feminine roman tic lead.
 McGinty, the mythical character of song and story, the gent who fguratively "went down to the bot tom of the sea-" has come to life, and, as a politician of the shadier sort, follows his counterpart in his rise and falli n the new picture.
 McGinty of the movies is two- listed so-and-so who, after being plucked from breadline, wins favor with the boss of the city by virtue of a good left hook and his eagerness to use it on anyone, in- cluding the boss himself. MT. Mo Ginty punches his way up the poli- ticla ladder as second in command of the city in the collection and division of political spells. He goth from Alderman to Mayor, and from Mayor to Governor of the State.
 Steam rolled" into office, the great McGinty decides to go straight, at his wifes suggestion, which turns out to be a very bad suggestion and builds the picture to wholly un-anticipated climax. In casting Donlevy as Dan Mc- Ginty," rough-and-ready product of the city streets,-nimble of wit and always with chip on his Irish shoulder-real wisdom was exer- cised. The role of the "boss" was in dubitably made for Tamirof; and as McGinty's wife, Burial AngeluS is ideally cast. Others in the hand picked cast include William Demar- est, Allyn Joslyn, Steffi Duna and Mary Thomas.

Somewhat akin to being rushed TO
the hospital, only to have the am
b,,lance demolished in a colllslon,
the Nationals today had lost the
services of Outfielder Gerald Walker
for an indefinite period at a time
when they were wondering II their
losing streak was assuming perma-
nent proportions.
Suffering the twin fortunes OF
hye-game losing streak and the loss
Of walker for at least three days to
possibly more than week, the MATS
have cast a cautious glance in the
direction of seventh-place st. Louis
Browns, who are nursing the re-
stricted ambition of ousting wash
ington from sixth place.
Only two and one-half games out
of seventh place and four games
removed from the American League
basement, the Mats are in no posi-
ton to be hampered with injuries,
especially when it concerns such
specimens as Walker, the clubs lead
ing producer of home runs and runs
batted in.
It is particularly bitter dose for
Walker to be clipped from the club,
for the Mats have been handicapped
by the recent inef1ectiveness OF
Pitcher Dutch Leonard, who has
won only three decisions in his last
II starts, and the weak hitting OF
Otufielder George Case, whose only
two hits in his last 10 appearances
at the plate have been bunts.
