boys and other little fellows box
ing.
He boxes with them all, and is
extremely careful not to hurt any
one. I remember two occasions when
Dempsey was asked to go on a trip
he wanted to take and each time he
said:
I'm sorry, but 1 can't go. The
boys expect me at the gymnasium
every morning at 10 o'clock. Those
kids think it's a great thing to put
on the gloves with a champion. They
get lot of fun out of it, wouldn't
disappoint them for the world"
Aside from his personal charac-
teristics outside the ring, Dempsey
is a credit to this country as a
champion The English and French
sportsmen who came here to see him
box Carpenter all thought the
Frenchman would surely knock
Dempsey out within three rounds.
Many of them borrowed money to
SO home. But they went back with
a much higher opinion of the kind
of fghting men developed in Amer
lea
What they saw was a powerful
fellow in fine physical condition with
skill and speed and a determination
to win that nothing could shake.

They saw Dempsey dazed by blows
that would have knocked out any
ether man they'd ever seen, recover
| quickly and fight faster and harder
than before-invincible when op-
posed to supreme speed and skill
just as he was invincible when op-
posed to gigantic bulk and strength
at Toledo.
can imagine those English
sportsmen looking at Dempsey and
thinking back to Bombadier Wells
and Beckett,
And 1t wasn't just Dempsey they
saw-it was a picture of American
virility-American grim determina-
tion to win.
Later. when Dempsey picked up
Carpenter and carried him to his
corner and hovered over him anx-
iously until the Frenchman recov-
cred enough to smile and shake
hands, our visitors from overseas
had a chance to see in Dempsey's
sportsmanlike action and spirit a
sample of American fair play.
These things will be talked Of
in England and France and will
have more effect in moulding for
Cign opinion of things American
than all the long-winded arguments
of a hundred doughty Congressmen.
The last thing Carpenter said to
me before he left Manhasset was:
81 have been very well treated in
this country. The man who beat
me is fair, clean boxer. He won
because he is a better fighter. We
are good friends. shall have much

Those who recall William De-

duced at Loew's Columbia during

the featured roles in this newest
production gem from the De Mile
studios.
The Lost Romance" aside from
its vivid revelation of the human
heart, its unusual emotional deves-
opment and the correlated beauty of
its backgrounds and settings, is
more than unusually fortnight in
its development. II has q plot that
literally marches from beginning
to end, and its very straightforward
tendency is the element that drives
home its moral with unusual convic-
tion.
In The Lost Romance" Producer
De Mile has cast the beautiful Lois
Wilson as the dissatisfied young wife
OF a devoted husband, who is ir9-
personated by Conrad Nagel. De-

CRANDALES.
AII.star' Cast.

One of TIE strangest stories ever
filmed is being presented as chief
feature of the photoplay bill at
Crandalps Theater the first three
days of the current week under the
title of "The Other Woman" One
of the funniest two-real comedies
Mack Sennett ever devised also is
being shown as a companion feature
of the program that will continue
through Tuesday under the signifi-
cant nomenclature of Made in the
Kitchen"
The Other Woman" bases its
battling complications upon one of
the most unusual cases Of dual per-
sonality the screen ever has re-
corded. John Gorham rescued Spen-
Ger Ellis from the attack of a thug
in Washington Park. Chicago, and
was at once mistaken for Langdon
Kirven. Of whom he insisted he had
never heard Two years later the
same man identified himself as
Langdon Kirven and denied all
knowledge Of John Gorham. Not
only this strange circumstance, but
the happenings that took place
during the two-year interval served
to complicate the case. John Cor
hams had q wife and child; Lang
don Kirven's domestic relation
ships were concerned only with "the
other woman" From this perlimi.
nary situation Is evolved a dra ma
of gripping interest that reaches
one Of the most powerful clinna xe,
ever conceived.
The principal roles are PLAYED

notable casts ever assembled fov 8

refuse her kiss of welcome?
There were enthusiastic greetings in
the doorway between Luther and Amy,
who had rushed in to put the biscuits
in the oven when she heard the wag-
on, and who had now dragged her big
brother into the house to look at him.
Claire greeted Amy more warmly,
perhaps warned by something in the
air, or by some instinct that she had
not done the right thing before. Per
haps, too, she was moved to warmth
by the very shyness of Amy's greet
ing-for at the sight of the fashionable
figure of her sisterin-law, Amy had
lost her self-possession and become a
bashful country child.
1t was Amy who extended a hand
this time, however, and Claire who
kissed her. And then there was talk
about the trains and the tiresome trip.

did not know that. Her skin was the
cream white of fine wax, her cheeks

was small, rose red. with a childlike
pout in repos,e and a pretty little
twist up at the corners when she
