Bonds!
He's one lad who Is put
ting Tacoma on the map, SO
far as the world of sport is
concerned. Joe may be do
ing a little legitimate press
agentry for himself while he
Is travelling the big circuits,

wherever he lands to boast of
the fact that he halls from

der the managerial wing of Jack
Kearns. the promoter who took
Bonds to Australia a couple of
years ago.
The big fellow is getting reams
of publicity wherever he goes. and
although some of the dope" they
spill about the local heavyweight
is slightly exaggerated" 1t is a
cinch that Bonds could not get
the space in the big newspapers
unless he really amounted to
something.
A recent issue of the Denver
Post had a three-column picture
of Bonds, Kearns and Jack Kan
ner, a Denver promoter, with a
long article by Gene Fowler, the
sporting editor.

Fairy Story Is
Delightful Film

Little Lady Eileen loved two
things in life-the fairies, and
her bird. Later came Stanley
Churchill, but the fairies and the
bird were directly responsible.
Churchill wrote books about the
fairies, and Eileen read them.
They met on the train and
through the medium of the hun
cry bird, became acquainted.
The romance thus begun SEEM
ed destined to end happily, but
evil fortune intruded in the shape
of George Churchill, Stanley's
brother. Had 1t not been for the
ever-watchful fairies, the romance
would have been shattered be-
yond repair.
Little Lady Eileen" which Of
fers Marguerite Clark as the star,
is one of the most charming of
pictures which the Colonial has
offered. 1t relates a clean, bright
story, and is beautifully staged.

Joe Bonds is in town." wrote
Fowler.
1.-THE Fighting Deacon ar
rived from the coast yester-
day with blood i'm his eye.
Bonds, be IL known, is
graduate of the University Of
Washington, and was admit
ted to the bar i'm Tacoma,
WASH. in 1914. He is q
big fellow, is this Joe Bonds,
six feet two inches i'm height
and has a reach of 80 inches.
Bonds is not of the usual type
of battler. 1t is the love of the
game and the desire to be cham
pion that lures him on. He hank
ers for glory in the padded square
that the old Marquis of Queens
berry loved so well.
"Bonds is the sole owner
of two motion picture houses
in Tacoma, WASH, has three
ranches and a bankroll. But
this is not his idea of COM
fort and personal happiness.
He desires the fistic warfare,
and nothing can stop him I'M
til he meets his master. and
Bonds says there is no such
animal. He has the heart
and a confidence that is al
most uncanny."

CHAPLIN IN
"THE COUNT"

Charlie Chaplin in his newest
comedy, "The Count" will be one
of the features of the double bill
at the Hippodrome theater begin
ming tomorrow. Rhea Mitchell
and William Stowell in five-act
Mutual Masterpicture, 1.-THE Man
From Manhattan" will be the
other feature of the program.
THE Count" is the fifth Chap
lin-Mutual comedy and from all
accounts is the best that the
comedian has achieved in the last
year or two. The inimitable Chap
lin returns to the type of farce
that won him fame in the movies
and is seen in his familiar baggy
trousers, cutaway coat at least
two sizes too small, his dinky
derby dimutive mustache and
slender cane, not forgetting the
celebrated brogans.

Speedy Action
In Tense Drama

The spirited action of the film,
1.-THE Little Girl Next Door," at
the Apollo keeps the audience on
edge with keen interest. There is
not a tagging moment, and with
something doing all the time, the
film rushes from sensation to sen-
sation, picturing vice dens and
the habitues of them with start
ling realism.
Story after story is told, each
with enough detail to make 1t in
teresting, and all with dramtic
qualities of the strongest. 1t is
really a thrilling photoplay with
the moral lesson strongly empha-
sized.

'Tillie' Returns
AS Jitney Show

"Tillie's Punctured Romance,
which has appeared twice in Ia
coma at advanced prices, and
made an immense hit each time,
has finally come back as a jitney
show.
This great film, described ev-
erywhere as the greatest of all
Charlie Chaplin's comedies, open
ed a three days engagement to-
day at the Shell. Marie Dresler
and Mabel Normand, two stars
who are unsurpassed for comedy
work, appear in the film with
Charlie.
It's a scream, and no mistake.

DeWolf Hopper
In Good Comedy

Hell to Pay Austin" the Tri-
angle photoplay at the Regent,
has a most interesting story, and
it is handled by Bessie Love, Will
fred Lucas and the strong cast in
an excellent way. The acting of
Wilfred Lucas is second only to
the admirable work of Bessie
Love, and it stamps this Triangle
artist as among the first of screen
actors.
DeWolf Hopper adds to the
happiness of the occasion by his
clever acting, assisted by an able
company. in 1.-The Mummy and
the Girl" comedy on original
lines.

II Is one of the most unsports-
man like acts recorded in Tacoma
athletics. Instead of maintaining
an amateur rating for their play
ers. these teams are hiring and
buying men from rival teams at
will, and violating all the rules
that were intended to insure clean
ball.
In Sundays championship
game between Puyallup and
the Hopkins Athletic club for
the pennant of the Valley
league there were mere
RINGERS" than there were
regular players. With all due
credit to Manager Fowler Of
the Hopkins club. who
learned that Puyallup intend
ed to play outsiders in the
game, and, unable to induce
the league officers to force
the players out, signed few
outsiders for his own team,
neither club in Sundays
game nearly represented the
usual strength of the teams.
. . . .
The first four men in the Puy-
allup team were players of the
Wilkeson club in the Valley
league. Messner, Chisholm, Bo-
nato and Riddell are all of Will
keson. The mining town was glad
to loan these players, because If
Puyallup had won the game it
would have given Wilkeson the
pennant.
The next three men in the line
mp. Graves. Marvin and Morash,
were regular Puyallup players.
