Then she told him of her afternoon

Out in the ice pack, surrounded by
pack of eight hunger-maddened dogs,

as he was fighting them for his-he
had to face them alone in a tempera-
ture ten degrees below zero. How he
survived is nine days wonder even
up in frozen Labrador, where men bat
tie 365 days year to wrest a living
from forbidding nature.
And when he had conquered the
dogs he still had the elements as his
deadlier foe.
DR.. Grenfell leads a strange life.
He has devoted himself and his life
to the Esquimaux and the natives of
Labrador sea fishers all. He is
their doctor, missionary, friend. A
graduate of Oxford, he has chosen that
most barren spot in North America
as one where he may do some good in
the world.
His headquarters he makes at Bat
tie Harbor, Labrador. From there, as
a base of supplies, he makes trips of
hundreds of miles into the frozen
north. carrying his surgical instru-
iments and his medicines along with
his Bible and his great good cheer, to
say nothing of his books and his foot
balls. Until DIR. Grenfell went to
Labrador men and women lived and
died without as much as ever seeing
a doctor, much less having his serv-
ices He has had many adventures,
but this is the story of his latest:

SOME BIG wREsTLERs COMING
Americas, Roller, BeeII and Burns
May BE Seen Soon.

Manager Gillian Of the Auditorium is
planning for some big wrestling matches as
soon as the National Corn exposition Is
over. He thinks of bringing DR.. Roller of
Seattle, George Schoenlein (Americus) OF
Baltimore, Fred Beell and Farmer Burns
here.
one plan is TO have a sort of competitive
tournament. Say Burns and Bell start IL
and the winner wrestle Roller, and the
winner of that match wrestle Americas.
Certainly such a plan would cerate interest,
pull off some fine mat work and stimulate
wrestling interest.
DR.. Roller was never thrown until Gotch
got him out at Seattle last spring. In fact,
up TO that time he had never even lost a
fall. Gotch took two straight. Roller de-
feated both Burns and Beell last year, and
Americas beat Beell. But Burns and Beell
both have some contention on their side in
these matters. They Journeyed clear across
the continent each way to meet their men
in their home cities, Americas in Baltimore,
Roller in Seattle. And beside that both
Burns and BELL were overworked each
time. In addition. Beell, when he went TO
Baltimore to meet Americas, was laboring
under the extra handicap Of grief over a
death in his family or serious sickness,
and was admittedly not at his best.
Burns, the best loser in the business, was
willing TO admit that he should not have
wrestled Roller when he did. He Travelled
from Omaha TO Seattle and went onto the
mat the evening of the day he arrived. He
was so tired after he got on the mat that
he took the precaution publicly to ask men
not TO bet on him.. for fear that his fatigue
would prove more than he could overcome.
Roller threw him twice, but each time
Burns came within the merest fraction of
winning and the chances are that had he

would make a ten-strike. Neither man has

course Burns and Reell. who put up the

Ben Welch who is a comedian "a hours
a day. or at least all his waking time, was
seen as such for fifteen minutes at the
Orpheum yesterday afternoon and evening.
Those who saw him when here two years
ago knew what to expect; others had a
DINNER idea and still a third group had
heard fellow performers ak Of him. So
unanimous is the praise which other men
and women on the circuit accord welch
that one looked for a good deal and was
not disappointed. 1t is character acting of
the truest type although he is doing moth
ing but a monologue.

act from General" Lavine who opens the
program to the Trapnell family, five Eupo-
pean acrobats touring America, who are

Violet Black and her company give the
headline act, playing a one-act comedy
entitled I'm The Subway" Miss Black
plays the girl who had lost her ~carfare;
and Cameron Clemens the man who
came to rescue, but who gave her much
trouble incidentally. Another well acted
part in the sketch. which is quite anus
ing, is that of the ticket chopper played
by Eugene Keith. Herbert Morris and z.

-ormers, but there are none who will not

ever dancers, so handsomely and taste
ally costumed and have so much charm of
youth, that their number is a real delight.
Harry Foy and Florence Clark score a
big success in a sketch "The Spring OF
Youth" More successful than Ponce de
Leon, Mr.. Foy discovers the rejuvenating
waters and also a well of generosity which
has amazing results. What he looks
like when re%juvenated 1000 years is the
climax Of the sketch and a laugh-makiug
climax It is.

pictures which are as ugly as sin and
as horrible pictorially as a chrome. II
