From a sporting standpoint the
pictures of the Dempsey-Carpentier
fight which VII be shown at the.
Opera House tomorrow, April a, are
perfect. Sporting editors through
out the country have given the stamp
of approval which increases their val
ue to the public as a permanent rec
ord of the greatest sporting event
in the history of the world.
Ed Danforth in the Atlanta Geor-
gian, says, You'd be surprised at
the classes of men and women who
have seen the picture. No screen
drama in many seasons has drawn
such a representative audience. No
picture since the Birth of a Nation"
has found such universal appeal.
And when you see it, more than
likely you'll change your views, if you
hold any against prize fighting"
There is nothing that hints of
the unclean in the entire perform
anee," says Cliff Wheatley in the At.

BEAUTIFUL ART PICTURES
SEEN RY SLIDES FRIDAY.

A number of Americas admirers
of the beautiful in art were fully
repaid Friday afternoon when the
slides of famous old world paintings
were shown by the picture machine
at the Americas high school audi
forum.
In the collection were more than
80 paintings, all beautifully hand
colored, and shown in as nearly the
original beauty as possible for re-
productions to present.
Especially lovely were the paint
ings by scarborough and Rembrant,
Gainborough's "The Duchess of De-
vonshire" being particularly beauti
full. Carrots landscapes were also
shown, proving treasures of beauty.
A pleasing musical program was
given, a number of the selections be-
ing curtailed because of the inability
of the club members from Monte
yuma and other nearby towns to get
to Americas over the bad roads.
Two selections sung by Mrs. Dan
O'Connell were of particular pleasure,
her splendid voice showiny to good
advantage in the large auditorium.
Mrc. w. d. Moreland and Miss Mar
tina Wheatley read the short descrip-
lions concerning the pictures, which
added much to the interest. Much
credit is due Miss Wheatley fir hel
untlring efforts in placing before tn,

The answer to the opposition "Was
Carpenter gamer" is given in the
picture according to Morgan Blake,
sporting editor of the Atlanta Jour
nal, who says, MY admiration for
Georges Carpenter increased SO per
cent after seeing him in the picture.
He didn't go down until after he had
taken merciless body beating from
man twenty pounds heavier. He
was rot knocked out with one punch.
He stood up and took it until his
legs cayed in under him. lie took
a count of nine and then staggered
to his feet. Down he went again
under shower of blows. He tried
heroically to get up but he couldn't.
An din the second round he hit the
cleanest, mightiest blow of the fight,
blow that drove Dempsey back and
staggered him. 1t wasn't one-sided
fight.
Continuing MIR. Blake says that the
pictures are just like being at the
rlngside and that they bring the
fighters so close that the expressions
on their faces can be seen. He also
