The April 27, 1935 issue of the San Francisco "Chronicle’, carried an article written by Katherine Hill. The article announced that the picture, "G-Men", had opened on the previous day at the Warfield Theater with James Cagney as its star. It said that the picture was the gamgster there in reverse, inasmuch as the heroes were the Department of Justice men. Hill said that the picture removed all pretense of glamour from the public enemy, but still managed to create hugely effective entertainment, all on the right side of the law. The article stated that the picture showed how finger- prints are matched, and how the telltale markings on ammunition are checked. It also reveals a part, at least, of the machinery by means of which "cool headed, carefully trained men are able to outguess hoodlums". The picture gives Cagney, a former public eneny number ene, a new role as a two-fisted Government Agent operating against criminals. The article continues, giving a resume of the story cepicted in the victure.
