YOUTHFUL TERROR WILL BATTLE WAY THROUGH COLLEGE NV PRIZE RING so HE CAN BECOME SURGEON

Colorado Springs. Colo, Sept. B. The story of the youth who, by indus try and perseverance. worked his way through the classic halls of some famed institution Of learning to pro- fessional or business success is given tention of '"Terror'' Don Long, seven teen-year-old Colorado Springs high school boy to fight his way through college"
 Long, who holds the Boy Scout box ing championship of the Rocky Noun tain region, is an all-around athlete and for the last year has engaged in numerous professional ring battles and gives promise of becoming one of the best featherweight fighters turned out in this section for many years.
 Is To Study Surgery.
 At the completion Of his high school course next year the Terror" is going to take the first step toward a life long ambition by entering an Eastern university to study surgery, paying his way while attending school by squared arena during his spare mo- ments.
 Long is the first student in the Western country to attempt to earn a college course through fistic efforts.
 He has starred on school champion ship teams in baseball, football, basketball and track; has stood high in rank in his classes, and, when not doing anything else. has been prac- Using the art of ''sockoiogy.'
 Long started his fighting career in a merry scramble for the Colorado Boy Scot boxing championship and soon became so popular while battling his way through a flock of Scout oppo- nents that he began receiving fat offers from promoters for professional bouts.
 Family Funds Ran Short.
 About the same time a financial stringency at home threatened his school career, and Long, rather than give up his cherished ambition to be- come famous surgeon, yielded to the demand and turned professional. Since that time he has been uniformly suc- cessful in fifteen battles and, under the tute1age of Young Corbett, former featherweight champion of the world, and the latter's former manager Johnny Corbett, has developed rapid 1y. until he stands near the head of his class in this region.
 Both of Longs tutors predict that he will duplicate the success of his instructor, Young Corbett, as he ages and develops.
 But Longs ambition is beyond the prize ring.
 Not for me-" he says. 'I want to heal bodies some day and not try to tear them down. When the fight game has paid for my school course I'm done with 1t a profession. From then on it will be Doctor Don Long, nothing else.''

PARK (Review.)

Eddie Dowling,s Hello Miss Radio"' opened a three-day stand at the Park theatre last night with Vera Miche1ena, late of the Zeigfeld F'ollies, and Frank Hi1lebrand, a star of the first magnitude portraying the leading roles. The sketch itself just bubbled over with pep but as all first night run shows, the missing of cues, failure of the orchestra to cooperate with the show, and the thousand and one other slip-ups that characterize the f1rst night runs of any show, bobbed up throughout the entire per- formance but despite this the display of real energy and downright grit on the part of the performers in our humble opinion amply repaid the audience for whatever they lost by being present at the first run.
 sonality, and ability as a cover-up man kept the audience in good ma tured mood throughout the night. however, and most of the patrons left the show glad that they had en- tered.
 Hello Miss Radio" is a sketch ab- solutely new to the legitimate stage. The scenic features connected with this sketch depicting the broadcast ing station sending messag ges to all parts of the world, were really won- derfu1.
 The scene in an underground den Tn the Latin quarter of Paris and the Apache dance done by Ben Linn ana partner. vied with the schoolhouse scene and a Vampires dance done by Miss Michelena and Fred Hi1Iebranc for the premier honors of the evening.

SOUSA'S BAND.


 One of the lesser things for which Sousa and his band are considered wonderful is the way in which they are able to adapt themselves to the size of the different halls in which they play. If the house be large, as they appear annually, they fill it to capacity with melody. If the hall is small they are able to tone down their instruments that none of the quality of the performance is lost but the ear is not over1burdened with sound. For this reason they are able to play in any hall, no matter what the size, or to unlimited num- bers in the out of doors.
 ScuSa's coming to the High Schooi of the big musical events of the year in Bridgeport. A splendid program. made up of many of the old Sousa fa- vorites which have stood the test or time and emerged as march classics. as we'll as @ number of. new compost tions, has been arranged.
 What Sousa fans are anticipating au4e the encores. for the encores are always a feature of Sousa concerts The genial bandmaSter loves nothing so much as to give epcores and he Is ever graciously willing to play any march that is requested. For this reason, the encores of an enthusiastic performance frequently extend the program to two or three times It's or isina1 length.
 The E1iSs and the Masons of Bride port, of both of which organizations SouSa is an ho1ored member. are planning to turn out in full force to his concert. Tickets are selling rap idly, local Sousa lovers undoubtedly going by the adage that ''The early may now be obtained at M. Steinert & Sons, 915 Main street.

Long offers some queer contrasts in
 his character. Although he has turn
 ed professional pugilist he continues
 to teach a class of younger boys in
 Sunday School, keeps up his Boy
 Scout work, with the intention of be-
 coming a Scout master when he
 reaches the age limit and, although
 barred from school sports because of
 his profession, will help his teammates
 in every manner he can next season.
 His manager, Leslie Showers, is former r. M. c. A. secretary and social welfare worker, who now is sporting writer on a Denver news paper. A queer combination to buck
 the fight game.
 Long is a stocky youngster, with an unusually pleasing cast to his
 square, dark face. His manners are a relief from those of the average pug" but he drops the Sunday-school front when he enters the ring and be- comes a boring, battling young wild cat He is a seeker and battler
 rather than a boxer, but his speed and agility make him hard to hit. The Terror" part of his name comes from the nom de guerre of the Colorado Springs high school teams, which, as the 'Terrors," have created an un- dying fame in the Western prep school circles

The picture has been boudoir suite of the fair Gloria. the Parisiau cafe, and the Oriental dinner party. This last is the final gasp In splendor, and fairly takes one breath with it's daring and beauty: Miss Swanson wears variety or stunning costumes and plays her roe with fine fire and understand1ng.
