Comedy and ROMANCE.

Comedy and Romance.
The Princess today Is showing THE
Beggar Prince" Tic picture is based
on fantastiral story which seems to-
tally dissimilar to any other that has
been seen on the screen. Light In
fibre, having sufficient comedy to re-
lieve a highly romantic situation, and
presenting in one of its main char
ACTORS an amusing ego clothed in the
dignity Of Oriental splcndor, the story
offers Sessue Hayakawa fine oppor-
tunities in a double role. AS the
Prince OF fantastical island in the
Orient no is grandly royal in manner
and attire, and as Mkt, the fisher
man, he displays the simple passion of
his station. Hayakawa has never done
more consistently good piece of work
than in "The Beggar Prince"
The sets and costumins of this pro-
duction are also commendable. all OF
which is marked either by simplicity
and grace or richness of design.
The court scenes have slight sug.
gestions of burlesque that will be en-
joysd. The production is one of the
best of the season and presents a viz.
Id lesson in contentment.

CorbeH Says Carpenter
Will Give Dempsey Fight
Former Champion Says He Is Not Picking Winner
But That Frenchman Is Fast and Clever, Heavy
Enough.

ship. OF course. man to aspire to the
title has to have certain amount OF
weight behind him, but man of Car
pentiers weight is heavy enough.
Carpenter weighs 173 pounds, and
probably would step into the ring asinst
Dempsey at that weight. Dempsey 8
weight is about fifteen pounds more than
that. When l fought Peter Jackson in
1891. weighed l6S, five pounds less
than Carpenter.
However. I do not want to create an
impression that do not believe Dempsey
is clever and that l am picking a winner
for the fight. But what l want emphasiz-
ed is the fact that believe reports that
the battle viii be uninteresting because
Carpenter is not heavy enough is not
we'll founded. The brief sparring | did
with the Erenchman demonstrated to
my satisfaction that he will not be a
ready target for any mans blows. Car
pentier knows how to handle himself, and
in less than sixty seconds of our little
sparring match Carpenter showed that
he has the art of sidcstepping and duck
ing down to a science.

Rigid practice rules are being observed
at the 'Y' gymnasium in anticipation Of
the meet and Robert Gordon. sponsor
for the local handball squad. is quoted at
the 'Y'' as saying that showing much
better than was expected earlier in the
season is being made.
A state of mind closely resembling
the old fashion blues was apparent about
the "I' when it first became known that
James Byrne, contender for the charl-
pionship in the handball singles last year
would not be on the team this spring.
but it is now Mr.: Gordon's declaration
that Roy Jardine is going stronger than
did Byrne a year ago. Jardine's devel-
opment and the quality Of play being
demonstrated by the remainder of the
team have brought followers Of the sport
out of the dumps and the physical de-
partment Of the ''Y'' is looking forward
to the outcome OF the tournament with
confidence.
A volleyball tournament will be held
on the same dates of the handbal tour

this department is making most ex-

is positive that the contemplated fight
between Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter will not be a one sided affair.
In fact, he believes that the French
champion possesses the necessary quail
fications to contest in the ring for the
heavyweight championship Of the world.
This was the opinion expressed by the
former heavyweight champion after spar
ring for few minutes with Carpenter.
Il want it distinctly understood that
l am not attempting to pick the winner
Of the Dempsey fight said
Corbett when asked regarding his i'm
pressions of the Frcnchman. but Car
pentier showed such wonderful form
during the brief period I was sparring
with him that l am convinced he will
prove worthy opponent of Dempsey,
and we all know how great a fighter
Dempsey is.

You can be mighty wise.
For instance, when you want to buy
The best for men to wear.
You know Mikehasit at his store
They will not fool you there.
If yon are wise you'll always win,
You'll be the man who knows
Just what is meant by very best"
And where to buy your clothes.
You'll not be any kind of fool
If you'll take my advice
Because we sell the very best,
And at a lower price.
