LEADER THEATER TO
SHOW WRESTLING film

What is perhaps the most import
ant movie event OF the season VIII
occur at the Leader Theater today
when the remarkable pictures OF the
battle between Joe Stecher, the giant
from Nebraska, and Earl Caddock'
the youthful Hercules from Iowa, for
the worlds wrestling championship
which was held at the Madison Square
Garden few weeks ago, will be
shown.
Eleven thousand men and women
paid over $4,000 TO see the match.
Stecher, the winner, got the wrest-
ling championship OF the world, to-
gether with S25.000. And Caddock,
the loser. had to accept a paltry 3l5,-
900.
Stecher negotiated his spectacular
victory with his body-scissors hold
with the slight assistance of an arm
lock. while many moving picture cam
eras clicked away in the brilliant
glare OF a number of batteries of
penetrating purple arc lights that
shot from somewhere up in the raft
ers.
The screen version Of the battle is
even more thrilling than the actual
contest, for every hold, and every
moment of suspense, is registered.

"Thc Charm School" is
Comedy With Music.

Alice Duer Miller's "The Charm
school" will be presented at the
Schubert-Garrick Theater next week.
1.-The Charm School" was first pub
ushed as a Saturday Evening Post
serial, later in book form and now
drsmatized by Alice Duer Miller and
Robert Milton.
'"rhe Charm Schor' is described by
Mr.. Milton as a comedy with bit OF
music, the music being supplied by
our ever popular Jerome Kern.
The cast will be made up OF Sam
Hardy, Margaret Dale. Mimic Dupree,
Rapley Holmes, Beth Franklin, James $
Gleason, Ernest Cossart, Albert Hack
cit, Neil Martin, Florence Mcclure,
Blyth Daily, Judith James, Carolyn
Arnold, Theodore Laroque, Frances
Mclaughlin, and Alberta Turner.
The story tells of a very handsome
young man inheriting girls board
ing school. The young man is Austin
Bavans, an automobile salesman, who
possesses original ideas regarding the
education OF girls. He asserts that
il is charm" girls need to have i'm
planted in their tender minds rather
than theologies. His plan works
spIendidly until romance gets entang-
led with pedsgogics. When that hap
pens everything goes awry-just how
is the secret of this enhancing tale
which is brimming with love, romance
and capital good humor.

There is something so indigenously
Southern in the very title OF MI Eo-

that the advance announcements

romantic South" And that Is Just
what is promised in this new proauc

4ican and European theatergoers
having directed the world tours OF

with har dolls, and educated by her
guardian and read Dickens Thackersy'
, and Scott. Her sentiments were care
fully trained to conform with the
best Confederate traditions OF the Lee
family And so when. her grandfath-
er passed from this life and she was
introduced to her relatives in New
York. she found It most difficult TO
attune herself to tho metropolitan
idea of civilization and, at the same
time retain her loyalty TO the confed-
crate traditions of her family. Like
most Southern girls, she was almost
engaged to two men at the same time
and couldn't quite make up her nina
which one to marry. And, In the
midst of her social success In New
York, and the ,exhilarating delight OF
her first, though double. romance
comes the family lawyer from Vir-
pinia with a brief case filled with the
FIRST trouble to enter the serene llfe
of this naive little heroine. And be-
yond this point in the narrative OF Mr.
Locke's play. the reader is referred
most respectfully to the performances
which will be on view at the Shubert-
