ordinary Washington engagement
at Loew's Columbia Theater yester-
day afternoon. There is a sugges-
tion of Burke's original and COM
manding style throughout the en-
tire production. but the picture is
a Grifith production in every re-
spect. Grifith describes the produc-
tion as a dramatic comedy, ano
after viewing it it is easy to un-
derstand why this great producer
regards il as his best and highest
work
Dream Street" is notable for its
introduction of three outstanding
characters: James C'Spike") McFad-

conquers the girls with his golden
voice. and the fellows with his fists:
Gypsy Fair. impersonated by Carol
Dempster. a little dancer of pure
heart. but wise in the ways of the
world; and Spikes brother. played
by Charles Mack, an idealist, wor-
Shipping beauty in all its form ana
particularly worshiping Gypsy Fair,
The story concerns the great love
these two brothers bear, one for
the other, and the supreme test that
love undergoes when both find de-
light in the same little dancing
girl. 1t is here that Grifith's story
rises to its greatest heights, in pic
turing the great emotional crisis
OF the two brothers,-an emotion
that sends them tearing at each
others throats one instant and
strains them to each others breasts
the next Grinth has also added
an allegorical touch personifying
good and evil in the form of
street preacher and an evil violin
ist, and between these two forces
struggle the main characters of the
story.
The production is brought to an
exceptionally happy ending. Tier.

Englishman. Only once, when Phil

mann SO badly that he never. re-
turned to the ring. did / ever see
anyone take a whipping like Car

Carpenter was not able to leave
his room. His gameness was such
that he would have stayed to his
death IL Descamps had not tossed
in a towel.
His power OF recovery was also
shown after the war, during which
he was badly wounded and run
down by disease. When he returned
to the ring against Dick Smith, we
Frenchmen threw up our hands in
despair and sorrow with the belief
that he was through and could never
come back. He had lost his sense
of distance. missing many of his
blows by feet. and his speed seemed
to be gone. But he recovered and
came back.
Another asset of the Frenchman
Is his ability To adapt himself to
any style of fighting. Against Wells
he had to fight a very clever boxer,
one of the best boxers in the ring.
In Klaus and Papke he found the
regular American fighting style. In
Joe Beckett he faced the old-styie
heavyweight, with nothing but
Drawn.
Another thing. Carpenter has
always been very lucky.
To the casual observer Dempsey
looks now to be in better shape than
Carpenter. The Frenchman looks
drawn and little too fine. But he
always has been that way before a
big fight. His appearance Is very
deceptive. He must be on razor
edge to do his best.
Carpenter is intelligent. He has
no college degrees, but he has an
accumulated fund of good, practical
knowledge that makes him at hom.
