'HEARTs OF THE WORLD" 4"

It is with regret that the Playhouse
announced that Hearts Of the World
will close its successful two weeks
engagement with the two performances
matinee and night, today. It has been
as much pleasure for the Play
house to present this wonderful photo

thousands Of people to witness it and
learn its appealing lessons. II is sug-
gested that persons planning to wit
ness this film tonight secure their
seats in advance. The sale for the
final performances is large and patrons
will avoid the last minute rush with
occasional disappointments if they tele-
phones the Playhouse for reservations.

VIVA GEORGES

Back in the spring Of 1914 there was
no more dangerous fighter in the world
than Georges Carpenter, the French
champion.
Carpenter had met and defeated all
the good British heavyweights and took
on several Americans who went to
France to test his mettle, this despite
the fact that he was usually outweigh
ed from % to 40 pounds.
There was a great deal OF money in
sight for Carpenter He was headed
toward tour of the United States,
which would have reaped him a for
tune. He might have won the heavy
weight championship Of the world.
Then Germany began the invasion OF
France. Carpenter didn't hesitate. He
reported for duty Immediately and was
soon inducted into the flying corps.
where he gave long and faithful service
to his country.
1t is quite probably that Carpenter
will never be able to fight in cham
pionship form again. Though he real
lies this he has steadfastly refused to
take a furlough and come to America
for two or three bouts.
81 will never fight for profit until
the Germans are driven from France
he told an American who tried to in
1uence him TO sign for a fight in
America.
Not long ago Carpenter was slightly
wounded and before he joined his esca-
drille he devoted most Of his time in
giving boxing instructions to French
soldiers and engaged in a couple Of
exhibition bouts for the amusement of
