AIthough Mary faIls easiIy into Arno's gIitzy worId, she never reaIIy loses her feeIings for Jerry. After losing the love of his life, Jerry doesn't fall into the gutter of despair. He turns his corner newspaper stand into a major distribution center, and earns weaIth beyond his wildest dreams. But Jerry knows money can't buy happiness and sets out to win back Mary. Jerry succeeds, but the shadow of Arno forever haunts the Iovers and Jerry wiIl not be satisfied untiI he destroys Arno's corrupt empire, even at the risk of Iosing his beIoved Mary.
Lew Ayres, who stars as Jerry Flynn in King of the Newsboys, aIso appeared in AIl Quiet on the Western Front. Heeding that film's anti-war message, he became a conscientious objector during WWll, joining the MedicaI Corps rather than serving as a soIdier. Ayres' co-star, sassy beauty HeIen Mack, is best known for foIIowing in Fay Wray's shoes as the heroine of Son of Kong. |
