FRANKIE BURNS 2e TO-DAY.

Frankie Burns, the Jersey City Skeeter, who has been chasing the .bantamweight title, for many years, will be twenty-six years old today. In the opinion of many fight fans the Jersey City boy rean became bantam weight champion over three years ago, when he fought Johnny Coulon in New Orleans. That bout lasted twenty rounds. and Frankie had the shade in at least fourteen of the chapters, in the opinion of many who witnessed the contest. If Burns had
 been a little bit more aggressive he
 might have won by a knockout The
 prestige of a champion often saves
 him from defeat, however, and it was
 so in this case. If Cou1on hadn't
 been the title holder, Frankie would
 have been more confident and in all
 probability he would have waded in
 and put over the sleep punch. The
 referee, Harry Stout, couldn't see it
 the way most of the fans did, how
 ever, and he awarded the victory to
 Cou1on. Stout's decision was far from being popular, and he soon left New Orleans. Frankie has been in the fight game for nearly seven years, and has amassed a neat little fortune from his efforts. It is also said that he recently inherited $5O,O0O worth of real estate left him by an uncle. If the Gutenko family hadn't emil grated from Denmark to America, and thus given John Gutenko, other I wise known as Kid WiInams a
 chance to become inocuIated with the fight bug, Burns would almost cer- 1 tainly have achieved the bantam lead ershtp. He is clever and aggressive little boxer, and very few decisive de- feats have ever been registered 1 against hing.

PLAZA

sarha Patriot and the Spy.~ 8 mas 9erptcture in four parts telling a war story with human and compelling h- deffty, is to be the big feature photo play on the PIaza's program for the latter half of the week. The pie ture though containing 8 series of battle scenes that will serve to i'll the spectators with a feeling of awe, does not entirely lay emphasis upon the 5 martial and thrilling side of the great game of hate, but rather on the side nearer home. It strives, and sue cessfuIIy, to show how war effects the poor shousehoIdeE6,7 what havoc it brings to the masses who know lit tie about the real causes or supposed need of war in the settling of inter- national disputes, and of the general destitute condition of humanity after war has done it's work. Marguerite Snow and James Cruzo head the cast which is an exceptionally large one.
 Probably the most beautiful nndsf- cal singing and dancing extravagan- "a that has held the boards of a To- cal playhouse in months, is that which has been secured to head the vaudeville end of the bill; ssDorre's s Beaux and Bel1es.' There are eight people lin the cast, each a gifted ar list and they have arranged a roper toire that is the last word in refined entertainment. It is a high class of fer1ng, handsomely costumed and beautifully staged with special effects and if should meet with popular ap- provaIs instantly.
 Completing a pIenornenal1y long run at one of New York's largest and most popular playhouses. the Strand Four has accepted contracts for an appearance the latter half of the week. The Strand Four is an op- cratic singing act that is rated as one Of vaudevi1le.s best offerings and Judging from the way other acts of this type, most of them of inferior quality, have scored locally. the act should be winner from the start.
 Young and Carlson in a singing, talking and dancing skit and the Gi1- lis Family in a novelty acrobatic act complete the vaudeville. Charlie Chaplin in sSrhe Fatal MalIet,'' an original Chaplin Keystone and a roar of laughter from the first scene to the last will be shown. sDirty Face Dan1 will be shown on the picture sNneef
