Through the first week OF training
here Wizards exercises have been
little more than farcical. He simply
has loafed along and has not permit

tensive violence those affairs that
Jess staged during his circus days.
Doesn't Work Enough.
Up 70 the present time the champ
ion has boxed an average OF about
five rounds a day, and has exhibited
no more action than will be crowded
into the very first round with Jack
Dempsey. And boxing one full round a
day in preparation for a twelve-round

Only hard work can do that. Jess is

worst Of all from the viewpoint OF
Willard enthusiasts, the timing Of the
champion, both in defense and at
tack, is atTociOusly poor.
The champion has been the easiest
sort Of target for his sparring part

been a mark for almost every straight

has taken those punches not because
he wanted to but because his blocking.

because it is so distinctively Irish and,
second, because she was named after
distinguished Irishman, DR.. Charles
Patrick Baxter, regimental surgeon Of
the 93d Highlanders during the Indian
Mutiny.
Miss Collinge tells an interesting
story of this picturesque old Irishman
whose namesake she is. He served
with the Irish Ambulance Corps in the
Franco War, arriving at the
French town of Chateaudun at most
critical juncturc. The town had been
captured by the Germans and the
French population was being terrorized
by the invaders. A German soldier hal
been shot and it was charged that a
French civilian was responsible The
town authorities had been asked to pay
{. large sum as an indemnity, with the
alternative, of having the town shelled
and totally destroyed if it was not
forthcoming. They were unable to pay
and the people were moving out pre-
paratory to the punitive bombardment
when DR.. Baxter arrived
He was told of the situation and he
asked to see the wounded man. The
latter was MORALLY hurt. but was I'M
attended, the artillery detachment in
H.
geon. DIR. Baxter could see at a
glance that the man had no chance of
recovery, but he asked permission to
operate. He had suspicion that he
might be able to prove who was the
culprit. He did so. The bullet which
he extracted was found to be a German
one, and even the hard headed German

About Charlie Chaplin

Six times within the last six months
Samuel Rothapfel has said to us, "Well,
II. T., did you know that Pm think
ing of becoming director and show
ing them how to do it right ?"
And, as the calm Camilla says, Gle
said he was going to do it---and then
he did it." That is why there was
something more to talk about than the
Western stars when we called on Mr.
Rothapfcl IS soon as he returned from
California.
"Have you heard the news ?" he asked,
after the blond and beautiful tele-
phone girl in the Paquin gown had al
lowed us to enter the sanctum. Pm

"What for?" said we.

1t isn't that she looks any older, but
she acts older. All the while We talked
tc her and all the time we watched her
work we kept thinking: And you arc

"And you are going back into the

mouth full of gold hairpins. But I'm

"What are you going to do?" we
said.
Well and she carefully speared

don't exactly know yet I've had four
offers, you know. Please don't miss

So we dashed away to hear Mollie
ing her soldier song. She wore
pink frock with rhinestone corsage
and pink hat with plumes. And they
wouldn't be satisfied until Miss King
finally gave them Smiles" and even
then they wouldn't be until she danced.
There is a little blonde girl on the
Roof who does an impersonation of
Miss King that is quite remarkable

so generous that she told us TO be

could sing it as we'll" And we liked
her for it, for she really meant il.
Miss Kings second act costume made
US unhappy because we wanted il SO,

tiny bunch of pink. blue and green
ostrich feathers at the waistline. Her
hat was large and fappy. and had one
million dollars worth of osprey on the

When she finally joined us ct the
table she wore hat with one thousand
dollars worth of paradise on it, and a

Molie King is only twenty years old!
Of course, being only twenty, this is
not of paramount Importance to her.
One never appreciates being twenty
when one is. II is only after you ar
rive at the &tage where men begin
to say. overwhelmingly, "a woman isn't
attractive until she is thirty that you
realize how nice it was to be twenty.
So Mollie King has ten years to go
yet before she will really appreciate
being What she is.
A Certain party" said to us last
week, "Have you seen the show on
the Century Roof YETI" And, shame
facedly. we answered, mo; not yet, but
soon -
And he said, well, if eventually,
why not now? III give you a party at
the Roof and you may invite any one,
you like, and III invite Mollie King,
sif you'll promise to talk TO her"
Would we? We certainly would.
Why. hadn't we been crazy about Mol
lie Kings work ever since We saw her
at the Palace? And hadn't we seen
her acqut herself creditably on the
screen? Meeting her face to face was
inducement enough without any of the
others.
Right here Fred Hawthorne our box
ing expert, interrupted US to say, "Who
is this beautiful queen?" and we
looked up to see him holding up pict-
ure which we had, with unusual mad
venture. left on Ills desk
"That beautiful queen,v we answered.
"as you so justly call her, is Molle
King, We interviewed her last night"
And then we went on and told all
about her.
We saw Mollie, first, in her dress
ing room. She was nearly ready to
go on and sing about the soldiers
coming home.
