Movie Theaters In Rio,

II Is at the cinema theaters that. the
Cariocas (citizens of Rio de Janeiro)
know real comfort; for, unlike our
moving picture houses, those in Rio
have. spacious waiting rooms. where
you sit, listening to excellent music,
until the hour for the first reel comes
round, Harriet Chalmers Adams writes
in the National Geographic Magazine.
The pioneer house of the kind inaugu-
rated this custom and now the people
refuse to stand outside waiting for the
even hour to arrive or to enter after
the film has started. With so much
profitable space taken from the audi
forum the movies in Rio are not as
great money makers as with u.s. The
American favorites are popular, quite
outcassing Italian and Brazilian film
stars.

By G. c. Hayyman.

Billy Prince is the hard luck champ among the local ring men. Every time Billy gets a good start and is in line for plenty of work and good opportunities Old Man Jinx steps up and floors him for the count. First, an injured ear handicapped Prince and held him back for some time, and now it is pneumonia Prince has been under the doctors care since Sunday morning when a local phy- sician was called and pronounced it a slight case of pnuemonia, and that it was brought on by his taking part in Friday nights bout, when he should have been in bed.
 Bennett claimed that Prince was suffering with a cold tor two days be- fore the bout and that he acted queerly but Prince being too game to complain, went through with the bout Billy complained to me at the end of the second round" said Bennett this morning, "that he had no strength in his arms after the first round, and felt tired. Billy was hay ing the better of the fight by A wide margin for four rounds but his punches lacked steam, and as Prince was weaker Williams kept working harder and then I knew he was sick
 But it was too late and Slim Brennan stopped it. Billy will be given another chance at Williams as soon as he is fit to enter the ring again and don't mean to be offering alibis but the next bout will prove that Billy was l not in condition Friday night" con- tinued the conductor-manaSe ger.
