Noted Star In
Thrilling Fight

WHAT is described as the most
realistic hand-to.hand battle
ever staged before the camera is
that fought by Lionel Barrymore
and Ivan Linow in THE Enemies
Of Women" the super special fea-
ture which Cosmopolitan Produc-
tions is now picturizing from Vi
cente Blasco Ibanez's latest and.
as many consider. his greatest
story.
Linow Is a champion Russian
wrestler. He is a giant in size.
measuring six feet three in height
and weighs 225 pounds. Despite
this fact, Linow admits that Rar.
rymore, recognized as one of the
most proficient boxers in motion
pictures, gave him the hardest
tussle of his screen career.
In the picture, Linow portrays
the role of a Russian Bolsbeyik
leader. The fight is staged in the
palace of Prince Lubimoff, the
role played by Barrymore. The
high light of the battle comes
when Barrymore. after eluding
savage lunge by the Russian,
climbs to balcony from where
he makes flying leap to the
shoulders Of his antagonist, bear
ing him to the ground. The fight
Is SO realistic that it caused the
other actors to gasp.

basso.
All are local artists widely
known in the Eastern States.
Charles Wengerd acted as. direc.
tor, and William E. Braithwaite
as assistant director. Much of
the success Of the event was
due to the excellent work as
accompanists Of Harvey Murray.
at the organ, and Helen Nash.
at the piano.
The chorus was in its usual
excellent form. and the choral
numbers were rendered with the
volume and majesty that they
demand. The Messiah is an
oratorio in form. but its content
and spirit are dramatic, and the
chorus and soloists brought out
its values admirably.
