new note. The farther. the hard working sacrificing man who loves his family above all else. Is the theme of this natural and appealing drama.
 With two such artists as Vera Gordon and Dore Davidson as the mother and father The Good Pro- wider" is certain to be fine. Miss Gordon has been playing mother roles since she was B girl and in this new drama she draws a picture Of unbelievable sincerity, while Dore Davidson makes the father the lovable character he should be.
 Birmingham saw appealing little Miriam Battista in person several days ago, and now she is on the screen again in "The Good Provider." The remainder of the cast contains such well known players as vivinne Osborne. William Collier, Jr., John Roche. Blanche Craig and others. The Good Provider" tells tho story of a father who strives, always uncomplainingly, to bring happiness to his family. It makes clear how often the father Is misunderstood. but as MT. Borzage has directed 1t. Papa Binswanger's career is de- veloped to the accompaniment Of many hearty laughs.

scope to a motion picture director. and it is surprising that no produce CT until now has undertaken to put it on the screen. The Fox produc- ton Is on huge scale. bringing out the full force of all the situations invented by Mark Twain's fertile imagination, and translating for the eye all the splendor of medieval court life that Twain had described in words. It aroused the greatest enthusiasm at pre-release run in Los Angeles.
 "A Connecticut Yankee" is more than funny; it coveys an argument of striking force. It sets out to prove the thesis that we are as good as our great great-grandfatherss It is the fashion nowadays to talk of tho good old times:" Mark Twain shows us just what the good old times" really were like. "A Con- nectieut Yankee" ia m imaginative masterpiece. It puts modern, shrewd, up-to-date young American against background of medieval chivalry. and the humor ia the re- suit of the sharp contrast.
 The Los Angeles Times says:
 ''Hurrah for Mark Twain and for "A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar thur's Court For hark ye. the most brilliant comedy drama in the history of picturedom Is here. The picture Is on view at Miller's and the big audiences are fairly pulling tho house down. Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry. make 'em thrill D. W. Griffith said once, and tho Yankee does all three superlativeiy. It's comedy has Charlie Chaplin's bril- liant aliveness and great common human touch; 1t has lightning flashes of William de Miles fine whimsy; it has moments as great as some of Griffith's own: 1t has touches of Miracle Man spiritual vision. and yet 1t is much moro, for 1t Is all Mark Twain"

Reich On Job
 Making Fight Card For Dietz

Jack Reich, acting as matchmaker for Paul Dietz, who is going to stage q, boxing show at the Casino on a near future date, is busily engaged in try ing to prepare a. card. Reich has been encountered by some exorbitant demands among the small fry'' in To- cal fistic circles, which may compel him to pass up local talent and put on an all star show, the contenders to be well known New York boxers who are in action continuously in New York.
 Asked yesterday if he would con sider a Delaney-Ratner return match here Reich said:
 ''Yes, I will book it and give them 30 per cent. of the receipts. I cannot figure how either of the pair is worth over 1 , per cent"
 Chance for Jennings to Laugh.
 It's a l 900 to one shot that Al Jen- ings would take a pleasure trip to Panama in preference to permitting Delaney to battle for that amount.
 It was rumored about town this morning that Delaney's match with Jeff Smith at Providence, booked for Friday night, had been cancelled, but tho report could not be verified.
 Augie Rather not only knocked out Jack Delaney the other night, but he also dented the neX-fght fans of local promoters. In the sprint to book De- laney it seems that 'Ducky'' Holmes, the leading spirit in the Liberty A. C., beat the Bridgeport A. A. to the tape line. The latter had an option on the Casino for the night of March 20, but according to reports yestreday it was passed up.

Paddy has declared that DamerOn and Donahue, two of his best players, have not signed for 1922, be- cause "they can get more money from an Eastern League club.' This Is pretty serious matter, if O'Connor can prove his allega- tions, which he. may be called upon to do. A heavy fine is ascribed for such an OffenSe if the club is found guilty.

HOW FAR CAN RUTH
 DRIVE A GOLF BALL :?

A mathematician has gone to the trouble to find out for the baseball world that Babe Ruth's $500 home run bonus means that the Sultan of Slug will average slightly better than S1 a foot for each circuit drive, figuring that the average home run will be in the neighborhood of 45O feet. Ruth has undoubtedly driven baseball further than. anyone else in the games long history.
 Now the question arises how much further can the "Babe'' hit d golf ball than he can a baseball. The longest approximated carry with the baseball as a projectile was 54O feet, or 1SO yards.
 The longest closely estimated drive with golf club was 277 yards, counting only the carry.

Jones should be a great pitcher with the Yankees" said Miller Hug gins at New Orleans. "He hasn't as much stuff as some other members of our staff, but he has excellent con- tro1, a corking change of pace, and he knows how to pitch. He is es- pecially effective against the Chicago White Sox, a club which made no end of trouble for the Yankees last sea- son, and doubt if he has lost more than one game to them in the past three years He is not so good against the St. Louis Browns, but the chances are that we won't have to pitch him against that clulb.'
