On the sidewalk lay the riddled body of William P. O'Malley, fourth police victim of the Dillinger gang in three months' banditry...

Miss Watson and Mr. Douglas are more than adequate and Mr. O'Malley and Miss Ryan are very good indeed. To Miss Ruth Weston, however, the major honors must be awarded, for a delicate interpretation of a part which might easily have been badly bungled. Mr. Barratt is to be congratulated on two particularly fine sets...
