TOWN IS MADE
OVER FOR BIG SCENE IN
FILM MAKING A MAN

Some unusual things are done in
motion pictures but not often is an
entire town transformed as was done
during the production OF Making n
Man" a Paramount picture starring
Jack Holt which viii be on view at
the Rialto theatre next Friday and
Saturday.
In the role OF Horace G. WHISKY.
Mr.. Holt is represented as the most
wealthy man in san Geronim, Cal,
and he owns practically the entire
town. Naturally, San Geronimo is a
fictitious name. But It was necessary
to take shots OF some bustling little
California city which could serve as
San Geronimo. Burbank, a Southern
California town where there is lots
of activity, was chosen for the pur.
pose.
Then did the the little city OF Bur.
bank, ordinarily quite active, assume
an even greater appearance of activ.
ity. For carpenters of the motion pic.
ture company set about putting up
signs here n there to appear in the
picture. Since Mr.. WHISKY almost
owned the own It was necessary that
several signs bearing his name ap.
pear. Therefore within a few minutes
after tho arrival OF the Paramount
company, many new and unfamiliar
signs greeted the eyes Of the citizens
Of Burbank. Some OF them read:
"Winsby Beet-Sugar Factory
tory Number 2" Horace G.. winsbv
Real Estate and Farm Lands for
Sale" 1.-THE San Geronimo News
Horace @. WHISKY. Publlher." and
"Winsby Loan and Savings Associa.

had all ready purchased and that
the Toolan property wasof greater
value than that set by Mr.. New

fact that one reason a higher price

LEONARD WHITE
BOUT OUT ON
Date for Dundee-Leonard
FroIic Causes "Static" in
Boxing Atmosphere:
BY DAVIS H. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. Z. - Throat
cutting being the local idea of how
to carry on a business rivalry, 1T
least as far as the Giants and Yam
KEGS are concerned, it is not sur
prising to learn that Benny Leonard
and Johnny Dundee are to frolic III
full view of the populace at the
Yankee stadium September 5.
The affair in question not only will
| harass the box-office men employed
by the Yankees, but should prove
Charley Stoneham, and the New
York Giants in general.
Thus the Yankees have succeeded
in killing two birds with one set of
boxing gloves.
The date of the bout is the an
swer. 1t comes at such an unseemly
juncture as to leave the proposed
Leonard.White bout, with which
Richard and the Giants were daily
ing. out on a limb. Further, it is
altogether possible that it will cut
into the publicity for the Dempsey
Firpo entertainment.
This latter is an objectionable af-
front. You may permanently borrow
promoters watch and he will for
give you-after you return the
watch. Tamper with his publicity,
however, and he is discovered in q
heroic attitude and to almost anyone
within range.
At more or less popular prices,
the Dundee Leonard enterprise
would fill Central park, both of
the young men having a large ac-
quaintance among BARRIERS, button
hole makers and other classes of
the independent rich. Most of them
being able to read with the aid of
the finger, publicity will follow
as naturally as a buck private, and
the Dempsey. Firpo bout, set for
nine days later, will suffer accord
ingly.
It will be a case of share and
share alike in newspaper space,
a sport page being no wider than
its narrowest column.
II am entirely satisfied with
the date of the bout" Leonard
said today IF it came after
Dempsey's meeting with Firpo, our
publicity would be hurt. Now it
is the other way about. 1t should
be a great fight"

CHANNEL AFTER
SIX TRIES
Lowell, Mass, Man Duplicates
Feat of Captains Webb
and Burgess.

Sportsmen in general and follow
ers of swimming in particular were
gratified to learn today that Harry
Sullivan of Lowell, Mass, finally
had duplicated the feats of Capts.
Webb and Burgess and had sue
ceeded in swimming across the Eng
lish Channel.
1t was Sullivan's seventh attempt
to make the swim. In all his eff.
forts he had made notable marks.
In 1921 he came within five miles
of the French shore after having
been in the water 19 hours and 5
minutes. When Sullivan took to
the water off Dover on Sunday
he got away in fine style under
what were declared to be favorable
conditions. The sea was calm and
the temperature Of the water was 81
degrees Fahrenheit. When Bur.
CESS made the swim he also had a
smooth sea, but the temperature
of the water was two degrees
higher.
Sullivan went across to England
last year to make his seventh at
tempt, but owing to unpropitious
weather conditions during the swim
ming season, he failed to make a
try. He declared at the time that
he had not abandoned hope of
eventually swimming the channel
and that he would try this year.

went across to make the swim,
