strand Attraction,

\ Olive Thomas gives a delightful
performance as a vivacious Irish las
sic in Darling Nine" a gSelznick
picture, which came to the Strand
Theatre yesterday for three days
showing.
1t may be said, in fact, that from
every standpoint this is the best
photoplay Olive Thomas has yet ap-
peared in. Provided with an ex-
cellent story by John Lynch and
Laurence Trimble, and superbly
directed by the latter, Miss Thomas
has made the most of everey OPP
portunity to fit vivaciously through
situations ideally selected for
romance, comedy and a touch of
drama. rs
Leaving her native Irish shore in
company with her pet goat, Nancy,
Kitty Mccarthy, portrayed by Miss
Thomas, sheds her radiance through
the slums of New York for a time,
then is suddenly introduced into the
theatrical world. where she acts as
the deus ex machina in the love at
fairs of others and has a great
romance herself, eliminating, after
many disappointments, in great hap
piness.
Many wonderfully picturesque set
tings are included, and the theatrical
costumes of Miss Thomas are a de-
light. A capable company of players
including Walter McGrail as leading
man supports Miss Thomas.

SAINTS PLAY TWO GAMES
At RED BANK THIS SUNDAY

The Red Bank Orioles, claimants
10 the semi-pro championship of
Monmouth county, are all set to win
their double bill with the st. An
thongs of this city which will be
played at Red Bank on Sunday af-
ternoon. The Orioles defeated the
Saints earlier in the season by a FL
score.
Last Sunday the Orioles broke
even with the Pioneers, losing the
first contest by a decided margin
because of poor defensive play,
while the second contest was won
by the home team by q still larger
margin. Starr and Maxfield will
pitch the double bill for the Orioles
while Young and Warner will divide
the afternoons work for the Saints.
Mazurik. who performed in classy
fashion for the Saints at second on
last Sunday, will play with the Am
boy team in this double header and
for the remainder of the season. His
batting ability should be a big help
to the light senior outfit.

WILLIE RYAN REFUSES TO
FIGHT GEORGE WARD HERE

According to Charles Doessereck,
matchmaker OF bouts for the Audi
torium Sport Club, Willie Ryan. of
New Brunswick. the welterweight
who was scheduled to fight George
Ward, of Elizabeth. at the local club
next Wednesday night, has run out
Of the proposed fight. The match
maker announces that all of the
printing has been completed but
that Ryan now declares "he doesn't
are to box Ward"
This bout was expected to be the
main attraction at ext weeks box
ing card at the local fight club.
Whether another boxer win be Sc
cured by Doessereck to meet Ward
or whether an entirely new bout
will be staged is a question just now.
Doesserck's letter follows:
Sporting Editor.
Dear Sir:-Willie Ryan. the Kew
Brunswick welterweight. surely does
not want any OF George Wards
game as he has taken a run out
powder on the Auditorium Sport
Club of Perth Amboy, where his
manager had agreed to have him
box the Elizabeth boy on September
%.
The said manager had agreed
and went 70 far as to publish an ar
ticle in his paper. that the match
was on for the above date. Ryan
and his manager had agreed TO take
a certain percentage to box Ward at
the Auditorium Sport Club. After
two days his manager called the
matchmaker and told him that Ryan
would not box Ward unless he re-
ceived a guarantee. The club A.
nally agreed to give Ryan the guar
antee and q day later the manager
again called and claimed that Ryan
did not care about boxing Ward at
the Perth Amboy Club. The club
had gone so far as to order the
printing and went to other expenses
to promote the match, but no argu-
ment could make Ryan. or his man
ager change HIS views.
WAS it to gain some cheap pubz
licity for Willie Ryan at the expense
Of George Word. Or L. it a case of
cold feet on the part Of Mr.. Ryan
and his manager?
Very truly yours,
"CHAS. DOESSERCK."

Doris May. The two established
themselves firmly in the film firma-

with the pace set by their more
opulent neighbors. Their efforts
land them into a laughab1e mess ar d
