GEORGES CARPENTER COMING
French Heavyweight as Star in "The
Wonder NIan'' to Reopen Isis.

When the extensive repairs now be-
ing made at the Isis theater are COM
pleted about August 1, Topeka movie
and fight fans will get a chance to
see Georges Carpenter in action.
The Wonder Man has been secured
as the opening bill for the theaters
new season. The film was shown here
last week at q private exhibition to
which newspapermen, fight enthusi-
asts and city and state officials were
invited. All pronounced the picture
one of the best in its class they had
seen.
The picture shows that the French
war hero and heavyweight fighter is
really a wonder man in several re-
spects. He is as much at home in a
dress suit and on ball room floor
as in the prize ring or in the trenches.
Before coming to America Carpenter
had done work for the French thea
tiers and in the Fench movies. In
The Wonder Nan" he showed more
polish and better acting than any other
prize ring man yet sta ged by Ameri-
can producers. He has an attractive
screen personality and his smile is
worth remembering.
The real feature of the piece is the
| four-round go which is made a part of
the story. The local fight fans who
saw the private exhibition. declare it
one OF the pest picture nights they
have seen and are much impressed
with speed and cleverness the French
man puts across.
The story is a tangle Of romance
and Wall Street finance in which the
| hero-Carpentier- put under sus-
| picion. He challenges his rival to
| fight out their differences in the club
| gymnasium. They do, the william is
,unmasked and all is happy. That is
| enough of the story. Too much in
| advance would spoil it. It has good
continuity and several surprising situa-
| tons Faire Binny, sister of Con-
stance, plays the lead opposite Carpen-
/ tier and does it exceptionally well.
| She bids fair to become every bit as
| much of a star as her sister
