WARNING
In presenting “THE PUBLIC ENEMY’’ to the
people of Shelby, wp realize that here, as never be
fore, we have more than a motion picture ... a
vital, throbbing document of life today. So start
ling in its reality, so outspoken in its message, so
vicious in its condemnation, it will leave you
trembling from its impact!
“The Public Enemy”
was not made for those whose skins are too ten
der, for those who expect to see fake heroics, nor
for those looking for the central characters to
burst into sweet love lyrics. It is real, real,
DEVASTATINGLY real! a grim depiction of the
modern menace! Come prepared to see the worst
of women and the crudest of men—as they really
are!
