1.-THE WONDER MAN."

Georges Carpenter, the Idol Of
France" at the Dirigo, Tuesday.
Georges Carpenter, the Idol Of
France" heavyweight champion Of
Europe and war hero, will appear
at the Dirigo next Tuesday after
noon and evening in 1.-THE Wonder
Man"
Carpenter was born in Lens,
France, January. "a, 1894. Though
of good old French stock, his pa
rents had acquired but little of this
worlds goods; nevertheless little
Georges was giver the best educa-
ton the schools of the town af-
forded, and early showed that he
was possessed of an alert and in
quiring mind.
At the age of eight, he came I'M
der the eye of Francois Descamps,
then lightweight champion of
France and gymnastic instructor
in the public schools of Lens.
M. Descamps was something
more than an athletic instructor.
He was a psychologist as we'll, and
the earnestness and enthusiasm
with which his young pupil applied
himself convinced the master that
mere was Il SlCdI dthlCtC III thS
embryo He was more than ever
convinced of this when, in private
tryout, his young pupil put him
down and out for twenty seconds.
When only thirteen years of
age, Carpenter made his first pub
lie appearance in the ring in the
tournament for the amateur cham
pionship of France, and fought his
way to the final bout, where he sue
cumbed to a much heavier and
more experienced opponent.
Thereafter. his rise to the heavy
weight championship of Europe,
through the various weights, was
rapid and without a setback,
though almost invariably he was
pitted against much heavier oppo-
nents.
Then came the World war, and
Carpenter early enlisted and was
assigned to the aviation corps,
where his bravery and daring soon
brought him the French military
medal. the highest war honor
man can receive in France. Twice
afterward he was decorated for
bravery, and awarded also the
croix de guerre.
Well named is the play in which
Carpenter will appear, 1.-The Won
der Man" at the Dirigo next Tues
day. And it is not, as many might
suppose. fighting play. but
photo-drama of American society.
rich in plot and counter-plot. heart
interest and intrigue, and the thrill
of big dramatic moments.-Advt.
