    First I thought it might be Heroes for Sale or perhaps Wild Boys of the Road but it’s neither as I checked the film credits of each, so it’s a blank so far.

  29. Wednesday’s new cap guy, maybe Allen Jenkins. Thursday’s pair looks to be a DA and and cop, definitely Walter Abel and perhaps Oscar O’Shea, all of which would fit 1938’s Racket Busters.
