opportunity of gaining the crown.
And then It is not unlikely that he
may take on so much weight that
he will have to enter the welter-
weight class before long.
The mismanagement part is not
likely. In Joe Golden, himself once
a great fighter, Thomas appears to
have a clever. shrewd manipulation
OF his steering wheel. But Golden
must nurse his young protege along
carefully Thomas isn't a cham
pion vet and one match could put
him down and out in a second.
Thomas is only nineteen years
old. Today he is a Legitimate 1873
FOUNDER. but he is likely to take
on load Of weight. He is just the
sort of built fellow who starts to
get heavy after he has passed his
teens Still, if he trains carefully
and takes care Of his strength he
should be able to keep in the light
weight division for the next three
years.
Joe is only a beginner In the
game I saw Mcfarland, Britton,
Brown, Cross, Jack Goodman, Kid
Goodman, Matty Baldwin, Tommy
Murphy and dozens of other great
lightweights when they were start
ing their careers. And let me
whisper that not one of that bunch
looked one-tenth as promising as
does Thomas.
Thomas has a think tank filled
with brains. He is as cool as the
proverbial iceberg, no matter how
hard the going may be. He IS a
boxer with a punch in both hands.
and he knows how TO hit. too. In
stead Of swinging his blows from
the floor like most beginners. he
shoots them only six To eight
inches He hits heap like the
greatest Of all punchers. Joe Cans
Thomas blocking is ideal He
doesn't pick his opponents leads
off before they are half started, or
he doesn't sidestep or duck them
Instead. he simply beats the other

ing his man any and every chance
OF landing. Abe Attell is the only
other fighter I ever saw who COM
bined offense with his defense.
When a fan or a writer predicts
that young boxer is going TO be a
champion he is looked upon as a
fit candidate for an insane asylum.

If there is any criticism to be regis
tered against Mr.. Sothern it is that
he is too generous in the dispensation
Of the talents Of himself and his sup
porting players. At the Illinois thea
ire last night he presented the Booth
version of Macbeth" before an audi
ence that filed every seat in the
theatre. The curtain was rung up
promptly at 8, but it was 11:4O before
the audience was dismissed, and
though it Witnessed one of the most
brilliant and finished Shakespearean
productions ever staged the majority
had been worn by its length.
This is meant more as a tribute to
Mr. Sothern than as an attempt to
disCredit him, for it is the sincerity
of the player and his love of his pro-
fessional labors that carries him into
details that others essaying Shake
spearean roles have ignored that they
might keep the time of the interpre-
tation within a period fixed by the
commercial end of the undertaking.
Sothern first of al looks upon
Shakespeare as his histrionic god;
secondly, he is an artist of rare depth
Of conception in fathoming the lives
OF the characters created by the bard;
thirdly, he is blessed with those essen
tails of physique and vocal equipment
that perfect him for the parts in
which he has chosen to appear.
Miss Julia Marlowe, (Mr. Sothern's
wife), who is his chief support. is out
OF the cast temporarily, and Miss
Lenore Chippendale was seen here as
her substitute. AS Lady Macbeth Miss
Chippendale, in may respects, out
shines Miss Marlowe, and in others,
particularly in the more emotional
readings. she falls short by compari-
son. Miss Chippenda.e is a young
woman possessing apparently more
force than Miss Msrlowe, and in the
climax speeches rises 70 more effec-
tive pitch, suggesting masculinity.
whereas Miss Marlove never loses a
pervading sweetness which is manifest
even in her most cruel scenes.
Yet Miss Chippendale conquered her
audience last night from the start,
and Joined with Mr.. Sothern in taking
repeated curtain calls. Mr. Lewis. as
'Macdurs," gave one Of the most i'm
pressive readings OF the character the
student OF Shakespeare ever listened
70. The others Of the cast were equal
ly effective IN their respective parts.
Such laboratories OF accessory and
staging probably has never before
been seen in connection with Shake
spesrean tragedy Even TO the mus
teal accompaniment not the minutest
detail was omitted.
