DEMPSEY FILM FILLED
WITH GENUINE THRILL
By R. c. MORAN

What would you do if you had a
fortune showed suddenly into your
hands-and didn't know what to do
with it?
That's the situation Jack Dempsey
faces in his very first film!
At private showing of this pic
ture at the Rylander this morning he
made his first bow before an Amer
icus audience in a new series CT
Universal pictures. AS an actor
Dempsey more than made good
and then climaxed this with three
rounds of spectacular fighting that
literally held his audience breath
less ;.
The new Dempsey stories, written
by Gerald Beaumont, noted novel
list, are a rapid fire combination Of
thrills and laughs. There is a dare
devil rescue on a trestle-a plunge
into a torrent-and such battle
Dempsey and Ed Kennedy do three
rounds of real fighting perhaps
the first real fight ever interpolated
Unto a play!
The cast surrounding the cham
Ipion is more than adequate. Chuck
IReisner, famous in Charlie Chaplain
and Universal comedies, turns vii
lain and does it convincingly. E9th-
er Ralston plays blonde vampire
of the chorus effectively; Kate
Price does some screamingly origin.
lal character work; and Hayden
stevenson as the fight manager is
fully as clever as he was in THE
Leather Pushers."

Lad Hangs Himself

Keith Tullis, aged between eight
and nine years, hanged himself in
their barn near Bartlett last Friday.
He was playing with sling shot, it
is stated, and because his mother
made him put it up, since it was
dangerous, he became peeved, and
as was often his custom, went to the
barn to pout it out. In about half
hour his father went to look for
him, and found him hanging in the
barn, dead. He had taken a hitch
strap, tied it to beam, and made a
moose and placed it about his neck.
While the coroner gave the cause of
death as suicide, it is said to be
thought that he really had no inten-
ton of taking his life, but had fixed
the strap about his neck. and
thought he would sit on the wagon,
so his parents would find him in that
condition,-and he wanted to give
them a scare. The supposition is
that after fixing the strap he fell off
the wagon, causing his death. He
was a very bright lad, and was the
son of Dolt Tullis ana wife,
