"KISMET" IN PICTURES
STRONGER THAN PLAY
Screen Version of Famous Romantic
Drama a Winner With
Otis Skinner

AS on the stage, the action in the
screen version of "Kismet" which
will be shown at the Grand Theatre,
Tuesday covers but a single day.
But day in which there is crowded
a series of incidents that cover the
whole range of human emotions and
which is as rich and diversified in
color as the "Magic Carpet" itself.
Otis Skinner, as Hail, the beggar,
who asks for aims in the name of Al
lah at the door of the Mosque of Car
peneters, in that day between sum
rise and sunset, and travels distance
on the road Of adventure rarely n
chieved by some even in an entire
lifetime.
To perfect the illusion Of time,
from the first faint streaks Of dawn
to the blue veIvety depth of night,
"Tony" Gaudio, the cameraman, i'm
troduced many new and novel light
ing effects, which will mark distinct
milestone in the art of motion picture
photography.

TOM MYERS SAYS GALL
cows LOOK ALIKE TO ME"

Mr.. Yves Myers assisted by his sons,
Robert and Tom, have finished put
ting new shingle roof on their home
on North Court street After the
job was completed Mr.. Myers took
Tom all around the house and had the
young man view it from all angles so
as to be thoroughly familiar with the
appearance of the home with the new
roof added. Mr.. Myers was prompt
ed to take this precautionary meas
ure with Tom, so that the young man
would know his own home and avoid
the possibility of having the neigh
bors disturbed by him trying to get
into some house through mistake, by
not recognizing his home. 1t seems
a few years ago Mr.. Myers cow got
out the lot and he sent Tom to find
the bovine. After wandering around
for six or eight miles Tom came drag
eng home without TIE cow, AMI
vcuchsafed the information that he
couldn't identify the cow should be
meet up face to face with the animal
in the road. This was a "stunner"
for Toms fathers Imagination and
his young hopeful in no uncertain

big, full-grown man who had been in
close proximity to the cow and drank
her good rich milk for or years
and hadn't formed close enough ac-
quaintance with the animal to be able
at least to bid her "good morning"
when he met her. After giving Tom
this lecture, he again sent the young
man forth to look for the lost source
of milk supply, but had the young
mans sister go along to identify the
COW. On the second trip out when
only about 100 yards distance from
their home the sister saw the COW
standing in the shelter of neigh
boris barn, and. together the twain
brought the animal home. Since the
occurance of the above referred to
episode, Mr.. Myers has used extra
precaution with Tom and is daily try
ing to develop the young mans per-
ceptive and observation faculties.

ion. The champion was upon him
again in flash, and another crushing
left to the midsection, followed by a
flashing right to the chin with all of
Dempsey's weight behind it, hurled
Carpenter to the floor again with a
thud that could be heard many feet
from the ring.
Again Carpenter lay on his side
while the count went on, and at the
count of eight he made dsperate at
tempt to regain his feet. He raised
his body part way from the floor with
his right hand, but the effort was
futile. Two seconds later the Euro
pean champion was counted out on
his face. The time of the final round
was one minute and sixteen seconds.

certed the champion and sent him
back on his heels, but he came back
with a terrific right to the jaw that
caused look of worry from the
Frenchman's handlers. They went
into clinch and when they were
separated Carpenter missed a left to
the chin. Carpenter landed half
dozen rights and lefts to the cham
pion's head. Dempsey hooked right
to Carpenters cheek and split the
flesh under the right eye. Blood be-
gan to trickle from the cash. Car
pentier missed right swing and
Dempsey's right also was short.
They were locked in a clinch exchang-
ing punches to the body as the bell
rang. Carpenters round.
Round Three
Dempsey began crowding Carpen-
tier and the Frenchman backed away.
Carpenter ducked a left hook and
Dempsey backed him into the ropes,
shaking him with solid right to the
chin. Carpenter landed two right
uppercuts to the body in the clinch.
The Frenchman missed heavy right
swing and nearly fell down. Then
he reached Dempsey with long right
to the jaw, and as he came into a
clinch, Dempsey dubbed him on the
neck with the rabbit punch. Car
pentier led with a left and they
clinched. Dempsey was outroughing
his Trailer foe in the clinches. Car
pentier circled round, waiting for a
chance to whip over right, but
Dempsey's body punches had weaken
ed him. The champion drove Georges
into corner, hooking him with rights
and lefts to the head as the bell
rang. The bell saved Carpenter,
Dempsey's round.
Round Four
Dempsey rushed Carpenter to the
ropes and left to the body made him
vince. Carpenter landed right to
the head and tried to hang on. The
continual bombardment of heavy
body blows from Dempsey's fists was
rapidly weakening Carpenter. The
Frenchman began to sag noticeably
at the knees, and after about 55 sec
onds of punishment, crumpled upon
the floor from vicious right to the
body and left to the chin. Carpen-
tier was not unconscious, but in dis
tress as he lay curled up on his side.
Referee Ertle began the count as he
stood alongside the PROSTATE French
man while Dempsey, leaning against
the ropes with sardonic grin on his
face, watched the rise and fall of the
referees hand. At the count of

DEMPSEY WINNER
in FOURTH ROUND
Retains Title of Heavyweight
Champion of The World
Carpenter No Match For
American.

RINGSIDE, JERSEY CITY. N. j.,
July Rack Dempsey is still heavy
weight pugilistic champion of the
world.
A crushing right swing from the
fist of the American fighter shatter-
ed the titular aspirations of Georges
Carpenter in the fourth round of
the so-called "battle of the century,
here this afternoon. The pile-driv-
ing blow landed flush upon the jaw of
the Frenchman, flooring Carpenter
for the second time in a trifie more
than a minute of fighting in the fina
and decisive round,
Although he had staggered to his
feet after the initial knock-down, he
was unable to survive a second one
and was motionless when Referee
Harry Ertle tolled off the fatal ten
counts.
Round One
Carpenter walked into Dempsey
and landed the first blow, a light left
to the head. They fell into a clinch
and Dempsey battered the French
man in tn body with short rights and
lefts. Dempsey was short with left
to the head, but repeated with left
that staggered Carpenter and made
him miss with a right swing. Demp-
sey landed a left that skinned Car
pentier's nose and drew blood. The
Frenchman backed away and missed
with a right. Dempsey countered
with a left that made Carpenters
knees sag. There was furious ex-
change at close quarters and it ended
with Carpenter falling through the
ropes. Carpenter crawled back,
gamely few at Dempsey, and they ex-
changed body punches in clinch.
Just before the bell, Carpenter nailed
Dempsey with left and punished him
in the body as the bell rang. Demp-
sey's round.
Round Two
Carpenter missed with a left and
then landed hard right to the chin
that sent Dempsey reeling to the
ropes. The blow apparently discon-
