THE VALLET.--l',

THE T.-F'ortnnat"lN tor
an concerned the screen adaptation
of THE Cohcns and Kellys ad-
heres closely to the original of Aaron
Hoffman : famous stage play, 'TW"
nlocks Away :
None of the dclcctablc humor of
the play has been lost in Universal :
tim version which is now running
at the Valley thcatrr. The plot has
hccu preserved and the choicest
lines of the play have been incor-
poratcd onto the screen III the form
ot sub-titlcs.
Furthermore. the cast is one that
could never be eqaallc1 on the
stage. With an al-st;r east the
picture features Charlie Murray,
the fathe.. of all comedians, who
started in the movies l6 years ago,
George Sidney. an actor Of un-
usual ability and a lifetime of "X-
pcricnrc. and Vera Gordon. the IA
NOUS mother o." lIumorcsquc who
has been OH the stage since Sh" was
u. Kate Price. another veteran,
has an important role.
With this east and Il gripping
story, Harry Pollard, the director,
has turned out one of the big hits
of the year. Much praise rs due
Pollard for the adaptation which h"
did himself.
The romantic interest in the
story is contributed by Jason ko'
hards and Clivc llasbrouck, about
whose love affair the action re
wolves. They seem perfectly cast.
Another incident to tar play ;
action is the sudden inheritance or
81 l.0O0.00o by the Jewish family.
Nar Carr, noted rs a clever com
cdian, shows his versatality by
playing the role of villain.
Two boy actors who should hr a
sensation as Il result Of their work
in 1.-The CohruS and kcllys, are
Bobby Gordon and Mickey Bennett.

ALONS0 BEATS
BILL T|LDEN

BALTIMORE, Dec. SO.--For the
second time in his brilliant career
in tennis Manuel Alonzo. Of Spain,
rose to great heights last night at
the Fifth Regiment Armory. For
the second time his great heart
pounded with pride as he sent Big
Bill Tildep down to defeat, 14-12
and 6--3.
Two years ago Manuel Alonzo first
felt this thrill, for 1t was then that
he scored his other victory over the
famous American racquet wielder.
Tilden played splendidly and
fought to his utmost for every point,
as the score of the first match
proves.
Tilden and Wilbur Coen, his
protege, beat Alfonso and Sullivan,
3-6, Cd, Ga, in the doubles. This
developed lightning fast play Of SEN
sationa1 order, and when it was over
Big Bill and the Spanish star stepped
upon the court for their battle.

Sentiment Is Only
Excuse For
Carrigan

1t is queer game, All right.
It must be to lure Bill Carrigan
back after ten years as q
banker. Many Of those who see.
nothing dramatic, romantic or
sentimental about the grand old
pastirne frankly admit it must
have been something akin to
sentiment that caused Bill to try
to take one Of the worst teams
baseball has had IN years and
whip it into q possible pennant
contender.
For years they had been try
ing to induce Carrigan to re-
turn to Boston and to put the
sport there at the same higE
plain it was when he left.

BURGERS GOAL
WINS FOR TECH

A field goal in the last two min
utes OF play caused the Hyattsville
quint to bow to the Tech High five
last night in game loaded with
thrills. Techs winning basket came
at the right time when Burger
dropped it in and won the game
1874.
Hyattsville went into an early
lead during the first half and at
midway was on the long end. II to 3.
In the remaining part of the game
Tech found itself and slowly over
took the home team. Then with
only two minutes to play, Burger,
who had played sensational basket.
bail, hoped the winning basket
which assured the victory.

No one, unless it was Fugazy,
seriously credited the idea that q
heavyweight champion would sign
contract six months before his
fight could take place and with the
first promoter who whispered sweet
nothings from the off corner OF his
agile mouth. Mr.. Tunney, therefore,
mercy is confirming the general
belief that he is not addicted to mild
insanity.
"Of course, Richard is not lar
red" Tunney stated. "Wnen
Tex feels that the time has come
to say his say, I'll be ready to
listen. IL would be absurd tn do
otherwise. For the same reason,
] am listening to Fugazy now.

termined the identity OF the chal-
lenger and can't at this early date"

Tunney permits himself to daily

he professed an abiding desire 10

came He made mo choice among
Jack Sharkey. Jack Delaney, Jimmy
Maloney and the field in general,
and intimated that there was none
at this immature date.
And from Tunney's general
appearance, It might be inferred
that he win be ready for the
big moment.
His apparently is not life Of ease

and either went for short runs on

preserve his stamina.
He professed ignorance az to his
exact weight, but declared that 1t
wasn't a pound over 1876. II that. /

A DESERVED HONOR

Editorial Sunday Star, Dec. 12th)
1t is gratifying to The Star. as it
must be to all who are acquainted
with the affairs of the Delaware
State Hospital, that the Board Of
Trustees has honored Or. William
H. Hancker by naming him as SUI
perintendent emeritus. For S5 years
DR.. Hancker has actively and hon
orably filled a difficult, exacting, po-
sition with great ability and marked
success. Now that advancing years
move him to wish TO relinQuish the
active direction of the States fine in
stitution, the trustees pay him a
graceful and wholly deserved tribute
when they say in effect: I'VE will
lift some of the burden from your
shoulders, but we insist upon con-
tinuing to have access to your ad-
vice and counsel"
DR.. Hancker has been a fine citi-
zen and an admirable public servant
and his record is one thai every Gus
todian of public trust might worth
lily seek to emulate.
