ATHLETIC Fairbanks
A POPULAR MAGNET
Famous Athletes Take Every Oppor-
tunity for "Impromptu Events"
With Celebrated Star.

Ju st as great minds run in the
same channel, great athletes are
prone to get together not only to chat
socially but to match prowess for the
fun of it. Douglas Fairbanks, be-
cause famous athletic, always has been
magnet for attracting those of
athletic skill to him and just about
the first thing celebrity of the
sports field does upon arriving in
Southern California is to regale HIM
self in the thrills of visit with
Douglas at the Observation-Disclosures
Studios at Hollywood,
Scarcely a week went by during
the filming of the new Fairbanks
photoplay, Douglas Fairbanks in
Robin Hood" that at least one noted
master of some physical superiority
did not call on tahis popular artist
of the screen. Among the more re-
cent of these visitors was Fred
Thompson, formerly worlds all
round champion athlete. Thompson
won this high and enviable honor
at the Olympic contests of 1915. On
the same day Alma Richards, holder
of several outdoor records, We'd with
Douglas on the athletic field he has
laid out at his studio.
Among the many other winners
of national fame, who have seen Mr..
Fairbanks work Douglas Fairbanks
in Robin Hood" a United Artists re-
lease coming next Monday and Tues
day to the Theatre was Brutus Ham,
ilton, con sidered the best all-round
track and field man in America and
who distinguished himself as captain
of the track team of the University
of Missouri. He broke the American
decathlon record in the Olympic try
outs at New York in 1920.
Bob" Simpson, holder of the 22O-
yard low hurdles record, was also
amonk the late guests and he put ON
a special hurdling performance which
compelled admiration Fairbanks
being the leader in applauding his
brilliant feats. Kranzlien, of Penn
slyvania, and Wendell, co-holders of
the 11O-meter high hurdles and nu-
merous indoor records, also partici-
pated in these "impromptu events"
and added good measure Of thrills
to the occasion. Later Douglas dup1
Heated their efforts and received his
share of the applause of crowd of
more than a hundrer enthusiastic
spectators.
One of the very last acts of Jack
Dempsey, champion heavyweight of
the world, before departing from Los
Angeles for Europe, was to go far
out of his way to call on MIR. Fair
banks for farewell sparring match,
a sport this celebrated cinema artist
always enters into with a zest. A.
rigth lively and altogether jolly tilt
ensued with Douglas doing well in
the manly art of self-defense, despite
the superior weight and science of
hte man whom many experts regard
as the greatest human fighting ma
chine ever known.

TRAINED, BUT UNNAMED
LIONS WITH SPARKS

Two things are in which the
Sparks Circus excels-in its trained
lions and in its trained elephants.
In no circus in the world are there
such lions and elephants as there arc
with this great tented enterprise.
Every trick known to the trainers
art is taught to them as easily as
though their minds were human of
animal. Many times have new acts
been rehearsed in the. morning for
the first time and hten shown in the
performance that afternoon. But
trained-with the lions at least
does not mean tanned. Fierce with
the jungle instinct still strong in
them, it is only through the marvel
Gus power of the Sparks trainers
that they are handled with the Won
derful ease with which they are per-
formed. And so it is, that with it's
performing animals, Sparks Circus
has adopted the slogan, GRAINED but
untamed," for every one Of them
represent the fiercest of jungle bred
beasts, simply held in obedience
through the superior art of the
Sparks trainers, and these animals
include not only the los and ele-
plants, but tigers, leopards, polar
bears, Russian grizzlies and scores Of
other wild beasts of genuine jungle
nativity, and all Of whom will take
part in the performance in this city
and incidentally will be senein the
glittering street parade at 1880
o'clock on circus day. Coming to
Fitzgerald Monday, November 2.
Will exhibit on city ball grounds.

Overland Sedan
Pulls Trailer in
Unusual Power Test

\ novel power test was recently
staged in Toledo which effectively
demonstrated the pulling power Of
the engine in the. Overland Standard
sedan which was recently reduced
in price from $4,000 to $4,000.
A complete moving picture unit.
belonging to a well known film COM
pany from Hollywood, stopped in
Toledo. to take photographs Of the
Willys-Overland factory. A special
built truck towed heavy trailer
weighing ne tons in its trip across
the continent.
An Overland Standard sedan, just
off the assembly line, was attached
to the trailer by heavy chain. Four
men occupied the sedan, while two
attaches of the. film unit remained
in the truck to operate the heavy
emergency brakes. The chain taut-
cned, and slowly the 1900 pound
trailer started down the street, tow
ing it several hundred yards in high
gear. After the test was over, an
official of the film company de-.
clared: 81 would have wagcrcd
$4,000 to nothing that that car
would not have budged that big
load"
The test was the more remarkable
because Of it's taking place on a hot
day with the four huge wheels of
the trailer sinking deep into the soft
asphalt. street. 1T was. out Of these
ruts that the Standard sedan pulled
the huge van while hundreds oi
spectators looked On in Arrangement.

tanned since Maurice Eugene Felt,
wealthy real estate operator. was
found fatally wounded in her home
here more than three weeks ago,
Miss Lillian NJ. Emanuel Yesterday

cause Of business troubles.
Miss Emanuel was freed late yes

ported that it found that Felt died
''at the hands Of Il person. or persons
unknown"
Miss Emanuel said she would use
the $4,000 insurance Felt left her
to rear her son. Indications today
we're that no further action would
be taken by the district attorneys
offices to prosecute Miss Emanuel.
