Gangsters do. That is why a gangster who made a promise to his dying buddy amid the roar of aerial bombs and the stutter of machine gun fire “somewhere in France,” kept that promise at the risk of his life—and in so doing brought about a dramatic screen climax. i “Born Reckless,” the Fox Movie- tone all talker which comes to the | Coliseum theatre tonight, accurately |depicts gangster life as it really is. Closely adaptedefrom Donald Hen- derson Clarke's real-life novel of the underworld, “Louis Beretti,” the film combines adventure, action. romance and suspense.

John Ford directed the pro- duction. B Gangland is a shadowy, elusive country, with curiously undefined borders, set amid the slums and the palaces of every big city; a country where men and women are human beings whose vices spring from a warped environment; a country where fidelity to one’s fellows ie held far higher than human life; where a regular member of a gang has the support of powerful ineer- ests and where a “squealer” meets his doom at the mouths of relent- less automatics. This is the real underworld, ac- cording to John Ford, director of “Born Reckless.” “Broadly sgcaking,” says Ford the only difference between - a gangster and a bookkeeper is one of ethics. You and I have one code; the gangster has another. And he¢ lives up to it far better than you or I, probably, for in his case the pun- ishment for failure is quick and certain. Aside from this code, the gangster is as human as anyone This is the fact we have stressed in ‘Born Reckless,’ by portraying the underworld as it really is. The carcer of Edmund Lowe, the star of “Born Reckless,” reads like a Horatio Alger novel. Born at San Jose, California, he attended school in that city and then Santa Clara University where he won his A. B. degree when only 18 year: old. He became a member of the university faculty a year later and (attained his M. A. degree at the age of 20. His yearning for a stage career; however, overshadowed his profes- sorial ambitions and he joined 2 stcck company in a minor role. He remained on the speaking stage six years, and then entered pictures. He is one of the out- standing successes of the cinema world. g Added features at the Coliseum tonight are “Drumming It In)” Vitaphone Acts and news reels. available for the contemp lated work, including his financial re- sources and his highway construc- ‘fon experience and other construc- tion experience, compared with the project bid upon.
