Virtually every gangster picture brought to the screen in the past two years has depicted the police as a body of more or less “dumb” | blunderers, intelligence and keen insight. As a matter of fact, these qualities are absolute requirements in peace of- ficers these days. “Homicide Squad,” the Universal underworld drama which comes to the Capitol theatre screen tonight, has two of its important characters in a police captain and a sergeant, and they are presented as worthy foes of the criminals they are fight- ing. These roles are played by Noah Beery and Pat O'Malley, and ‘their characterizations present moedern police officers as they real- | ly are. “gets aj more ways than One “Good Break” That is one “break” for the con- servators of propriety.

While most of the story is screamingly funny, the tense dra- matic moments disclose Miss Dressler as a character actress of compelling force. The picture was produced lavishly with one of the largest exterior sets ever built and hnudreds of persons appear in the torchlight procession, political ral-| lies and other dramatic high spots. ———t——— TONIGHT Legion of the Moose Social at Moose Hall {morrow at Capitol Theatre and be |ANNA METZJOY RITES Iha Vote Eurlv mul ()flon ATTACKER OF CHINESE GIRL 'Gxand ]ury Acts Quickly| in Latest Assault Case in ‘Honolulu | HONOLULU, H.
