Jack Dempsey as Sc sat down to a
light breakfast in a private home
here, where he had spent the night.
The champion slept without inter-

and awoke in a happy frame of
mind. Teddy Hayes his trainer, who
occupied an adjoining DON was still
asleep and Jack amused himself by
tickling his trainers nose.
Dempsey's breakfast consisted OF
two boiled eggs, toast and a pot of
tea.
Accompanied by Hayes he started
out for a walk but such a crowd fol-
lowed he was forced to return to the
house.
Although his whereabouts was
supposed to be secret the news
of his whereabouts got out before
he had been in town more than a
few hours and fight fans were on
constant patrol along the street In
which he was housed. A large per-
centage of women r among the
spectators, while the boys were we'll

After returning from his walk tho

feel before engaging in what probab-
ly will be the supreme ring test OF
his life.

This was Georges Carpenters
smiling comment to an Associated

flannel shirt, flannel trousers, cap
and worn shoes, he emerged for
light exercise along the road. Sur

for him the challenger with a smile
on his face remarked: you're up
early; haven't you been to bed all

Doesn't seem worried, does he?"
remarked Wilson.
Carpenter kept UT a constant
stream of light conversation, making
no reference to the supreme test to

Today and Monday at the Crescent
The last performance of the great
stage play, Bought and Paid For"
takes place tonight at the Crescent
theatre. This great play during the
past two days has been wonderfully
portrayed by the Lois Howell Play
ers, a stock company that Is meeting
with great success at the Crescent.
The company presents the latest and
best stage plays on the last three
days Of each week, the first three
days the usual motion picture pro-
gram is given.
Next Thursday, Friday and -Satur-
Qdy MISS IOWcl anu ASi PAoy SAo

Wives" that created such a sensa-
ton in New York City. This is a
play that is far above the ordinary
and one which Miss Howell and her
company can do full Justice. Those
who have seen Miss Howell in
Bought and Paid For" are loud in
their praise of her acting and the
acting of every member of the COM

company is M of the beststhat has
ever played in this city.
Civilization is a veneer at the best.
There are moments of madness
when honor, friendship and love are
swept aside, and quite civilized peo-
pie become creatures of blind inn
pulse and passion. It was such q
moment that caught a woman starv-
ing for romance and a mai infatuat-
ed with her beauty. In the warm
moonlight Of a midsummer mid
night, they forgot THAI they were
married-to another man and an
other woman-and in each others
arms
All Of which goes to show why
William De Mile called his latest
and greatest picture midsummer
Madness" and why screen fans who
see it are getting the thrill Of a life
time. 1t will be or view at the
Crescent theatre next Monday, Tues
