boxer who seems to have hit his
stride again is the long and lanky
Tommy Fleurant of Biddeford. The
Biddeford feather started his career in
an impressive manner a few seasons
ago but developed a slump and nearly
ruined his reputation in Maine by his
failure to meet a Boston boy in a
match in Bangor in connection with
the Eddie Shevlin-Rocky Smith bout.
Up to this time he had been manag ed
by Tom Travers, but his failure to go
through with the bout was frowned
upon by Travers. Lately, however,
Fleurant seems to have come back in
to his own and is due for big season
in this State and he also has several
matches in Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut.
Biddeford, for its size, has as good
set of boxers as will be found in
any place in the country. The Muir
ply brothers including Paul, Leo and
the aggressive Spider, are drawing
cards wherever they go and always
put up good scraps. A member of the
same stable is the wild-swinging hard
seeking Duke Menard. on whose un-
easy head lies the fiyweight crown of
Maine. Tommy Fleurant, with wins
over Jimmy Kid Rice and many other
good boys, is a Biddeford boy, and so
is Young Drew, who is generally rec
ognized as one of the most willing
boys in the game. The veterans Dusty
Dumont, Johnny Walker and Steve
Travers are boxers from Biddeford
who used to pack the house with ev-
cry appearance. Several other men of
lesser ability are also residents of
that city.
Another thing which is worthy of
note about the Biddeford boxers is
the general likeness of their boxing
styles. A few years back Dusty Du-
mont was having a temporary period
of unusual success and was in good
demand as a boxer in out-of-state
rings. Dusty had little science but
was the proud possessor of wallop
that spelled sleep for the recipient
every time it landed. So he adopted
a sort of crouch during the first part
of the bout with the powerful punch
ing arm waving up and down in an
aimless manner only to straighten it
out with a sudden jab that wrought
was so successful in this style of bat
Ting that 1t was perhaps unconscious
ly copied by his townsmen who used
it with more or less success.
OF late, however, the style in that
city has changed. The change was
first noted when Young Brown fought
over in City hall. The elongated gen.
tleman from Biddeford adopted the
primitive style of stepping out with
arms flashing up and down and the
bouts ended with noticeable abrupt
ness. Since that time the midget Me-
nard and Young Drew are noticeably
of the same style. Other cities have
their individual stars. but as far as
real. action goes the Biddefordians
seem to hold the limelight The fans
who would not welcome their appear
ance in an Augusta match are few
and far between.

THE DREAM GIRL
AT POLLS ON
MAY 10

sThe Dream Girl" which Polls
VIII offer for a week, opening
Sunday evening, May 10, has an
especial interest in the fact the
its score was the last work Of
Victor Herbert and represented
the accumulated experience of
his long and notably successful
career. There are fifteen Her
bert songs IN the operettas and
they are said to be typical OF
the composer. THE Dream Girl"
also has an especial interest in
the fact that Il brings back to
Washington two young players
who have won success in other
seasons and are still in the hey
dey OF their powers.
Fay Bainter's popularity was
greatly added to by her creation
Of Ming Toy. the little Chinese
girl in East Is West" but her
work covers a most interesting
Variety Of Characterization.
Many win recall with pleasure
her dual role in THE Willow
Tree" her adroitness in 1.-THE
Kiss Burglar" and in other novel
plays. Walter Woolf. who is as
ISOLATED with Miss BANTER in the
cast, gained his first distinction
with the Winter Garden shows.
and won popularity last season
In 'The Lady in Ermine." Woolf
is credited with having the best
baritone voice in musical comedy.
and Miss BANTER is said to re-
veal new talents in the role OF
Elspeth Tyrell as a singer and
dancer The story of 1.-The
Dream Girl" Is taken from 1.-THE
Road to Yesterday" and affords,
It is said, plenty of opportunity
for interpretative music, dramat-.
&c and comedy situations and ef-
fective stage pictures.
The company is a large one,
and includes, among others. Rob-
ert Woolsey, the comedian; Maude
0dell, Clara Palmer, John Clarke.

Wyn Richmond, English dancer,

awaited comedy, Charlie Chap

fact that the first scenes Of the
