quite we'll, Before | came to Amer
lea, she would come clear to Paris
to see me wrestle Over There wrest-
ling is considered more of gentle
mans game than it is in this country"
According to the Polish giant,
there is the wrong conception Of the
wrestling game. 1t is a scientific
pastime, he says. much like the
game of chess Each wrestler must
anticipate the movement of his op-
ponent; his brain is constantly ac-
tive, and he leaves the ring mentally
tired. When Zbyszko was in college,
he says he was Il much better student
after he became proficient at wrest-
ling.
For Earl Caddock, whom he will
meet tomorrow night at the Coliseum
he has the highest praise. He has
never wrestled with the Iowa man,
but met him in New York, during the
recent tournament in which Caddock
participated.
"He is a gentleman" says Wladek.
Il shall be pround to wrestle with
him, even though am confident that
shall beat him. hate roughness
and lack Of culture. Caddock is fine,
clean young fellow. But I'm going to

failed so far. 1t may take me one hour,

get his shoulders down."
This man doesn't ever drink. and
he doesn't go to burlesque shows.
What amusement is there, to sit
and watch lot of half-dressed
Medusas?" he asks. Il would prefer
a good play, or a fine opera. AS for
drinking where is the fun in pouring
poison into ones SYSTEM"
Until the match, the wrestler is
going to live very quietly. For six
hours before he meets Caddock, he
will eat nothing. That is his custom
that abstinence before a match. 1t
makes him feel very light, he says.
Wladek is gentleman and a
scholar.

has wrought his characters Of fiction

perception of the finer elements of
human understanding The charac-
tiers OF his books stand out with the
vividness of real people, moving in 4
world splendidly pictured by the nov

narrative of sublime pathos in the
story of Stella Maris,' book which
lends itself well to the rare talents
Of Miss Pickford. The photodrama-

of Miss Frances Marion, who also
adapted for the screen Mary Pick

plays the leading supporting role with
Mary PickfOrd in Stella Maris,'

er, Tearle, who started the first stock
company In America in 1712, and F.
B. Conway, another of near kin, who
built the famous old Conway theatre
in Philadelphia. Conway Tearle him

years, first appearing in Shakespear-
can plays in London. later becoming
leading man with Sir Charles Wynd-
hal, Ellen Terry and other famous
stars at the Drury Lane theatre. In

to America and appeared with Grace
