is In his studio.
Il saw my first bulltight three years

Il decided then 10 become a bull

Mexico City and practiced and had 20
days training under Rodolfo Gaona,
the king of the bullfghters. This
training I regarded as invaluable, as
Gaona gave me the fundamental prin-
ciples OF the art-the groundwork on
which my later skill, such as it is, and
the ability have, have been built"
Franklin made his first public ap-
pearance in the bull ring in Mexico
City September 80, 1923. Since that
time he has appeared regularly In the
bull ring In Mexico, and has come to
be regarded as one of the favorites in

BRONXVILLE, Tex, October IL
Sidney Franklin, the only American
bullhghter in the world, is preparing
- invade Spain. the home of the bull

kings Of the arena there.
After proving to the people OF Mex
leo. where bullfighting still holds its
own as the most popular sport" that
an American can become is adept at
It as a Latin, Franklin is preparing TO
try the same in Spain.
His last appearance before Ameri-

October 4. when he fought in the
Plaza del Toros in Matamoros. across
the Rio Grande from Brownsville.
Franklin left here for South Amer
lea. where he has contracts which will
keep him occupied for the next few
months. He will keep in good trim
during that time for the tights in

passing only a few inches from his
body. With the eye Of an artist,
Franklin pointed out the fault with
his posture in some of the pictures and
explained he was working continuous
ly to reach a higher standard Of art
and skill in the ring.
Franklin was regarded with more
curiosity by the Americans when he
made trip through the Rio Grande
Valley than by the Mexican people.
The matador came TO this side of the
river garbed in his gold inlaid bull
lighting equipment, with his cape, cap
and wig.
He is about feet in height and
OF athletic build. although not Of the
heavy type. He has blue eyes, fair,

He is a fairly good athlete In foot

but declared that they never thrilled
me is the bull ring does" There was,
not the thrill that one gets from a life

facing a ferocious bull.
DO I intend to quit the arena? No,
not after I have felt the thrill Of the

than sport, as most persons do"
