“DISORDERLY CONDUCT.”
Abounding in thrills and " offering something distinctly different in screen entertainment, “Disorderly Conduct” is expected to prove popular fi.lll fare when it opens to-night at the Princess Theatre. With Spencer Tracy in the grimly powerful role of a police officer who abandons honesty for larceny, and an imposing list of film favourites in the supporting cast, this Fox production is heralded as tile foremost dramatic I offering of the year. The excitement begins in the first | reel when Tracy, pursuing some suspicious looking trucks, is knocked into the ditch by the bootleggers’ patrol. car. Subsequently lie arrests the daughter of the city’s leading politician, and is demoted as a consequence. Smarting under this treatment, he decided it doesn’t pay to be honest, • and starts taking “easy money” from various speakeasies. This immediately involves him with liis captain, a rigidly incorruptible officer, with the politician’s daughter with whom the captain is in love, and with sundry crooks who suspect Tracy of double-crossing them. A raid on one of the “dubs” that Tracy is protecting, involving the girl in the killing of a crook, and a gang revenge that brings about the death of Tracy’s little nephew, all lead up to- one of the grimmest and most thrilling climaxes fn film history. A good supporting programme will also be shown.
