Think Mickey Walker
Will Be at His
Best in Bout

The great question of the
welterweight championship fiTht
between Mickey Walker and
Dave Shade was a question OF
weight, but according to reports
from the camps both boxers will
experience little difficulty in
making the required mark of
lat pounds. Walkers followers
pin their hope in the weight, for
they claim that the champion is
at his best at 1461a pounds. and
blame his showing with Harry
Greb on the fact that he tried
to build himself up. Scaled
down, they maintain that he will
be a different fighter.

Olympic Champion
Has Title From
Another One

BY a peculiar trick of fate one
Olympic champion succeeded an
other Olympic champion as the
professional flyweight title
holder of America when FideI
La Barba defeated frankie
Genare in Los Angeles. Genaro
won his Olympic laurels in Ant
werp in 1920, while La Barba
starred in Paris in 1924. Adding
to the coincidence, both Genaro
and La Barba are Of Italian
parentage, although both are
native born and bred Ameri-
cans.

OPERA HOUSE PROGRAM WILL
INCLUDE five ACTS VAUDEVILLE
Film Version of Famous Stage
Success, "The Fool' Will Be
First Three Days Bill
Vaudeville And Milton Stills
Picture For Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday

The William Fox film version of
Charming Pollock's great stage sue
cess, 1.-THE Fool" will be the feature
moving picture forming the enter
tainment program for the first three
DAYS of the week at the Augusta
Opera House On Thursday. Friday
and Saturday, the program will in
clude five acts of high class vaude-
Vile and also the screen showing of
1.-THE Unguarded Hour" with Milton
Sills and Doris Kenyon.
"The Fool" William Fox's much
heralded perturbation of the Cham
ming Pollock stage success, may be
pronounced as sincere attempt to
bring clean pictures before the pub
lie. 1t makes no pretense at the
spectacular - it is just a big,
straightaway daramtic story of
self effacing young zealot minister
who aspired and tried to live as
Christ lived-a theme with a tremen-
dous appeal.
There isn't a doubt that the pic
ture, with its moralistic theme, will
exert a tremendous appeal here and
elsewhere throughout the country.
And Edmund Lowe, handsome young
Fox star. who plays the role of the
minister hero, Daniel. is going to
make thousands of new friends and
admirers by. his superb and feeling
performance of the part.
The Foley Family, two attractive
and talented young women and a
man, in a presentation of terpsi-
chore superb, will be the headliner
,act of the vaudeville offering at the
Opera House on the last three days
Of the week.
The Ryan Sisters, Clever Col
leens," is another act of the vaude-
vile bill II a girl is named Ryan
she must be a colleen and whoever
heard of colleen who was not pretty
and pert and clever. The Ryan Sis
tiers are pretty and pert and clever.
Their Irish nature is q bit remote,
nevertheless they are proud of it.
These two girls are singers and
dancers. They have evolved a clev-
er routine which they present clev-
erly.
Schafer and Bernice offer a skit
with songs called an Auto Tangle. :
This does not solve the traffic prob
lem but it does contribute lot of
fun and song and two clever people
to the stage. An Auto Tang1e is not
meant to solve anything. Its pur-
pose. and in this purpose it. succeeds
admirably. is to provide its sponsors,
Schafer and Bernicc, with an oppor-
tunity to do the things which they
do best
A gymnastic novelty, Spring
Fever" is the designation of an
other act presented by Ossi and Lin
ko. In spring young mans fancy
turns to baseball. 1t is always

Fool" and more than 10000 letters of

ing, the present year this play has
been staged in Berlin, Vienna, Stock
holm, Amsterdam and Copenhagen.
So much for the play. 1t must be a
wonder.

ITO the Public: You made pos
sible the wonderful success of the
stage play. The Fool by your word
of mouth praise and your patronage.
IF you like our motion picture
version of The Fool tell your friends
and neighbors. Help the cause of
clean pictures like this, which need
neither censors nor play jurors.
