LYRIC

The unanimous opinion of the crit
les of the Bridgeport newspapers yes
terday, was ''Charley's Aunt" the Of
fering of the Poll Players at the Lyric
theatre this week, with Harold Ken
needy in the title role, lis the best
play presented by this company, this
season."
The critics had a good reason for
saying this, inasmuch as Mr.. Kennedy
simply runs away" with the comedy
end of the play IN a manner that be-
speaks the accomplished actor and the
laurels that were bestowed upon him
last night by a crowded house, were
a tribute to a master craftsman in
the art of amusing the public.
"ChaHeys Aunt is not a new play,
but instead is a play that has been
presented everywhere the English Ian
guage is spoken, but withal this, it
will still live to amuse others, long
after the war is ended.

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

Mary MacLane's latest and most
startling literary accomplishment,
Men Who Have Made Love to Me-
has been filmized and will be the big
attraction at the Plaza the latter half
of the week. Not only that, but
Mary MacLane, herself, will star in il
and give it the Interpretation that she
alone can give it. For the story she
has chosen six specific love affairs
from her rather famous career, and,
stripping naked her own soul, offers
them for the appreciation of the au-
dience. 1t is probably the most
wonderful photodrama that has ever
been produced and will surely prove
supreme drawing card of the season
at the Plaza.
Art Studio, a big girl act with plen-
ty of pep; Jim and Anna Francis, a
couple of old-timers in a happy odd
ity; E. J. Moore & Co., in a magical
mystery and Bender i& Heer, a pair
of jolly entertainers.
There are three performances today
consisting of Evidence" a five act
drama starring J. Barney Sherry;
Carl Rosine and company; Stone and
Boyle in songs and pianologue; Faber
and Taylor and the Breakaway Bar

ECHOES FROM PAST

Dave Smith defeated Cycline John
ny Thompson in twenty rounds at
Sydney, on Feb. I. 1911, just seven
years ago today. Smith, likeeso many
other great boxers of the Antipodes,
began fighting in New Zealand, where
he was born. He began his profess
sional career at the age of twenty
three. and most of his early bouts were
won by knockouts. He came into
prominence in 1910 when he won on
a foul from Billy Papke. The fol-
lowing year he defeated Thompson
and Jimmy Clabby, and Australian
fight fans were jubilant in the belief
that another great middleweight had
been discovered. Their joy was brief,
however. for a little later Smith was
knocked out by Billy Papke, and in
1912 Eddie McGoorty disposed of
Smith when he came to America.

ANNIVERSARY OF
TWO FAMOUS
BATTLES

Tomorrow will mark the anniver-
sary of two of the greatest battles for
the heavyweight championship of
America. 1t was on Feb. Z, 1849, that
Tom flyer defeated Yankee Sullivan in
the first battle ever held for the Amer
lean title, and it was thirty-three years
later, on Feb. Z, 1882, that John L.
Sullivan won the big title by defeat
ing Paddy Ryan.
Americas first championship bout
was held at Rock Point, Md. Tom
Hyer, in taking to the fighting game,
was but following the example of his
father, Jacob Hyer, who was one of
the principals in the first ring battle
on this side of the Atlantic, about
century ago. His opponent was
Yankee" Sullivan, native of Ire
land, whose real name was Frank
Murray. Yankee" had whipped most
of the good men in England and Ire
land before coming to America. With
him came another Irish pugflist, Nc
Cluskey, who was soundly licked by
Hyer. The latter met Yankee" in a
saloon, and, after some words, they
engaged in an impromptu brawl which
resulted disastrously for Sullivan. He
then challenged Hyer to a fight in the
ring, and his defii was accepted. The
bout was for the heavyweight cham
pionship of America and $4,000. This
was the first fight in America for the
big title, and a vast crowd of fans
| 70
mill. The battle was with bare
knuckles, of course, and under the old
slaughter house" rules. For fifteen
rounds Sullivan fought gamely, but in
the sixteenth he was groggy and
| shaky, and Hyer knocked him out.
By this victory Hyer became the first
of a long line of American champions.
Four years after whipping Sullivan
he challenged Perry, the "Tipton
Slasher," to battle for the heavy
weight championship of the world, but
Perry refused. Hyer retired from the
ring soon afterward, but he lived to
be sixty-eight years old. Always open
handed, he soon spent and gave away
his ring earnings, and in his latter
years was dependent upon friends.
The fight between John L. Sullivan
and Paddy Ryan, by which the former
became champion, was staged at Mis-
sissippi City, Miss, Feb 7, 1882. Ryan
had won the American title two years
before by whipping Joe Goss in an
eighty-seven round bare fist bout in
West Virginia, and his friends thought
he would have an easy time with 1.-The
| Boston Strong Bow" 1t took John l.
Just nine rounds to lick Ryan.
