HAvENPAA IS EASY
FOR tOO|E LEWIS
Popular kentuckian Wins in Straight
Fails Over So-Called Rough
Grappler.

Several hundred devotees of the
wrestling game in Richmond were
present last night in the Academy of
Music to see Ed tStrangler) Lewis,
claimant of the worlds championship
and Sulo Havenpaa. the 260-pound
Russian Finn. get together on the mat,
but II can hardly be said that they saw
real exhibition OF graphing.
In the first place, they saw only
thirty-three minutes OF wrestling. and
even at that Lewis apparently pro-
longed the bout in order to give the
enthusiasts a run for their money.
Thu popular kentuckian won In
straight falls. gaining the first one in
twenty-one minutes with a flying head
lock, while the second and final one
was secured with a combination arm
hold in twelve minutes.
The big Russian came to Richmond
billed as the wild man OF the mat"
He had the characteristics of a wild
man all right. but it appeared as IL
the front seat ON a beer wagon would
have been more at home to him than
the mat He didn't look like a wrest-
Ter and apparently hasn't chance OF
becoming one for many moons to
come. He had lot OF strength, but 1t
takes more than that to be a wrestler
Strength and science prove a good
combination. but he certainly does not
possess any OF the latter.
He let his temper get the better Of
him on several occasions. and began
paying more attention to the boots and
teers from the audience than he did
to the match. At times he seemed to
forget that he was engaging in q Crap
ping encounter. but that he had mere
iy been brought here by the promoters
to amuse the audience with his out
bursts of temper. He was about as
popular with the audience as an Eng
lishman-one of those chaps with a
monocle, don't y'know-would be in
these war times at German lawn
party. At times his antics made the
match farce in every sense of the
word.
However. what this big alien failed
to display. Ed Lewis made up for 1t.
Tho young Kentuckian gave as good
an exhibition of the mat sport as he
could possibly have done under the
circumstances Tho big fellow sue
ceeded In getting himself In only two
bads holds. and he bridged out of
them in fine style.

The Birth Of a Nation.

Since its last engagement in Rich
mond. The Birth OF a Nation has
been presented in practically every
country on the civilized globe: 1t has
won the praises OF millions in foreign
lands, including crowned rulers. and
has been cheered In a wide variety
of alien tongues, Concurrent with
the globe gtrdling tours of several
companies sent out from New York.
II has toured the United States and
Canada, playing to packed houses in
the principal cities and leaving new
theatrical records in its wake.
It Is estimated that upwards of
fifteen millions have felt the spell of
D. w. Griffith's art. as exemplif1ed in
this stupendous filming OF The Clans

great total paid adpission to theatres
within the United States. 1t Is hard
20 find a person in city OF ordinary
size who has not witnessed 1t and
who does not long to see It again. In
the various cities OF South Ameri-
ca, Europe, Australia and Japan its
vogue has been unprecedented. COM
siderfng that 1t deals with incidents
and personages Of American history
familiar only to students in those
countries.
A dominant factor In the success

and abroad has been the uniformity
and unvarytng excellence OF its pre-
sentation. Never has II been shown
except in leading theatres. with SYM
phony orchestra accompaniment of
not less than thirty and with the Same
elaborate stage effects heard here last
season. 1t IN this answering loyalty
to the first principles of his success
that has kept Mr.. Griffith at the top
Of tho heap in the film world and
has firmly established THE Birth Of

spectacles.
When the spectacle returns to the
Academy of Music next week 1t will
be shown in the same elaborate de-

their invitations. Mr.. and Mrs. Arndt
