by solicitous advisers. Summing it up,
knew that I should be in the midst
OF a bloodthirsty mob, who would
swear and smoke, who would show
atavistic tendencies, and entirely throw
off the thin veneer Of civilization.
Glazed eyes and wildly exulting faces

half an hour before the start, so that
the ferocious mob at the door should
not be too much for US. The artist

The last round of this fight was
splendid. 1t was a thrilling display OF
terrific force, speed in delivery and
speed in dodging. In a sense the Eng

and kissing of the crowd showed that
its sympathies had not changed. The

whose hea bulges at the temples. And
there were ever SO many men with fat
faces. with cigars bristlng militantly
from the corner of their mouths. And
in addition there were men one might
see anywhere at any time, ordinary
men. | wondered what brought each
one OF them there. Some young bloods
with top hats on were conspicuous, but
the crowd did not mind them, except
when they kept on their shiny sheds
too long after each bout started.
"Hats Off, men," made the Artist and
me take ours off in hurry. And there
were some scholarly looking men who
were most clearly out of place.
A desultory applause and few
shouts made US look up at the ring.

brown robes, were seated at opposite
corners. surrounded by trainers and
things. This was a preliminary bout.

After few rounds of this ! decided
that il was the slliest exhibition OF

 Friday-Sam Bernard. the irre2res- sible king of comedy, whom the Fam ous Players Film company induced to present his unoquailed mirth-pro- voking talents on the screen, makes his first appearance before the mo- ton picture public at the Best Fri day in a four-part film travesty, en- titled Poor Schmaltz."
 This great comedian, in his first film impersonation, introduces a new type of comedy to the screen. AS .Poor Schmaltz" he renders one Of the most Imaginable characterizations of his brilliant career as the foremost exponent of eccentric comedy on the American stage As the persecuted and persistent wooer of an American heiress. he presents one of the most humorous spettacles ever seen on the screen, and Poor Schmaltz' may truly be termed sam Bernard "ln Dutch"
 It requires four hilarious reels to complete Poor Schmaltz's distressing but excruciatingly funny adventures on the screen, and the humor grows until one is well-nigh exhausted With laughter.
 The Famous Players Film company has selected Poor SchmaltZ" as the title of Mr. Bernards first screen inn personation, because that was the character-name borne by the illustrl- ous comedian in his greatest stage successes.
 Poor Sehmaltz' was designed for laughing purposes only, and in thls direction it succeeds howlingly. This great comedy attraction may be term ed the most pretentious hum'rous feature ever presented on the screen, and will be seen at the Best Theater Friday.
