London, May IA R}-Mrs. Israel
Davis. cinema magnate, will retire
and turn her large interests over to
her four sons. She had her first ex-
perience as an amusement house di-
rector when her husband. a builder,
constructed theater at Highgate in
1909 and turned the management
over to her. Since 1913 she has been
an important figure in the British
moving picture world.
Marble Arch Pavilion, Shepherds
Bush Pavilion. Lavender Hill Pa
vilion and the Avenue Pavilion In
Salisbury avenue. London, all have
been under her ownership-manage-
ment. Mrs. Davis never permitted
any picture to be shown in her
houses which she had not seen per-
sonally. and she turned down many
box office successes because she dis
approved the tone of the pictures.
Recently Mrs. Davis consummat-
cd business deal which disposes
Of the family interest in these en-
terprises for 100000 to y new COM
pany already controlling IS cinemas

Cannot Pick Opponent,

The promoters have their trou-
bles In the amateur ranks also but
not anywhere near so many az in
the professional rank. In the ANA
teurs, boxer submits an applica-
ton to appear in a certain class
weight. He knows not whom he
Is to fight but he is paired with an
other entry In his class weight. He
Is duly examined as to physical fit
ness and he enters the ring with .
one idea in his mind. to put his
opponent out of the way in an
short a time as possible.
Most professional fighters do bat.
tie according to the size of the
house. First they must get their
guarantee. Then a manager picks
an opponent, usually someone not
too tough. Witness the with
drawal Of Sig keppen of New York
from a match with Bige only a
short time ago. technically because
OF an overweight on Bige's part.
but really because Bige was not
easy enough for the amount Of
money involved.
No matchmaker, no promoter or
any other human being can be sure
OF professional fighter giving his
best. y promoter may be the para
son OF honesty in his dealings with.
his patrons and he may believe him
self that he has engaged fighter, 5
VINO viii give an honest account of
themselves and then find in the ac-
tual bout that he is probably paying
for fancy dancing exhibition.
Professional fighting is a business.
No matter how the receipts at the
box office come in, a fighter has
to get his money. A show is a
FLOP" and the fighter is asked TO
take a cut. Does he do it? Not il he
can help it. Nothing matters to the
professional except his money. He
either gets it or he doesn't fight.
Or course. there are many fighters
In the game who always give their
best and with rare exceptions. New
Britain has seen honest efforts to
please.
On the other hand, amateur
fighters. working for honor and
glory, start the minute the fight be-
gins and they keep at it until the
right Is over or the opponent il
counted out. Fight fans have come
10 realize that the best entertain
nent is furnished by the simon
pures and not by paid hirelings and
or that reason, the amateur fights
are meeting with success while tho
game is slowly expire
ng on the rocks Of financial fall

nent.

PARIS
President of France Can't Eat Fish Stew and Retain His
Dignity.

Paris, May II R-Gaston Dou-
mergue, president OF France, Is SO
hemmed in with social rules and
regulations that he can't always
even eat what he likes.
He comes from the south and he
likes the famous "Bouillabaisse,"
rich fish stew. AS humorous In
centiye for several Of his ministers
to accompany him on recent cere-
monial trip the president promised
them they would have at least one
dinner on bouillabaisse at place
where it may be had at its best.
Becq de Fouquieres. the social
mentor Of the presidential palace,
however. vetoed the plan.
Bouillabaisse Requires a napkin
and finger-bowl. Besides large
pieces of lobster there are good
sized crayflsh in it and the only
practical way to get the full benefit
of some OF these morsels is with the
fingers.

Horizontal Landing
Bars Sport Flying

Until the problem Of vertical
landing Of airplanes has been
solved. flying cannot become q
popular sport in the same sense as
automobiling or motor cycling, in
the opinion of Fraulein Thea
Rasche, the only woman stunt fly
er in Germany.
Flying today Is hampered by the
need for large landing field" she
says. But aviation is as yet in its
infancy, and / feel sure that the
problem OF a vertical landing will
be solved before long. That will
greatly increase the safety Of fly
ing. too, for most accidents occur
as the plane starts or attempts to
land"
Fraulein Rasche considers fog
the most formidable enemy OF the
air pilot. I'VE are absolutely help
less In face Of it," she says.

French Think Sports
Nav Cure Communism

Sport is one thing on which COM
munists and their critics agree.
Sport is being fostered by Bolshe-
vik leaders here and cross-country
bicycle races organized by and lin
tied to the disciples of Moscow have
brought new enthusiasm into the red
camp.
Opponents Of the communists po-
litical tenets applaud the sporting
efforts as the best cure for commun.
ism. They remark that health exer-
else is much better than listening to
dull speeches in ill-smelling halls.
Sport, they say. will teach the young
idea an independence that will not
brook too much red rule. and q joy
in life that will smile at the tale of
trihula'ion the communist organ
daily tells.

MANY PLAY SPOTS
Fortunately Located for Those
Who Seek Shore Or Lake

Summer Is we'll on the way and
, it won't be long before New Britain
! residents will be leaving the cares of
, daily life each weekend, to go to
the seashore, lake or mountain re-
sorts. The Connecticut shore resorts
are, and always have been, extreme
ly popular.
New Britain Is we'll situated for
any of the three types of resorts.
Because of the fact that the shore
resorts are becoming increasingly
difficult to reach. due to the crowd
cd condition of roads leading to
them, more and more people are
making a practice of visiting the
lakes. Pocotopaug, Bantam, Congo
mond. Highland and many other of
the lakes for which Connecticut is
justly famous. are receiving their
share of attention Of late.
Then there are the many beauti-
full automobile trips. The White
Mountains. the Berkshires, the Mo-
hawk Trail the historical towns OF
Massa chusetts, all are visited by
New Britainites. Cape Cod is also
a favorite spot for local residents
and the islands OF Martha's Vine
yard and Nantucket have New Brit
ain colonies.
Indian Neck, Short Beach, Sound
View. Grove Beach and other resorts
along the Connecticut shore arc
filled with New Britain people every
summer. With the opening Of the
new road through Killingworth a
few years ago, Grove Beach. Madi-
son and other places in that vicinity
became increasingly popular with
local people. The young folks like
TO make trips TO the shore places in
the evening, leaving town about Z
o'clock and returning after the
dances which are held every night
during the summer months at those
resorts.
The older people have cottages
down there. 10 which they go on
Saturday afternoon. returning Sun
day evenings or Monday mornings.
Good roads lead to the resorts and
New Britainites do not realize how
fortunate they are. in having such
a wide choice, all within a radius of
comparatively few miles.
New Britain used to move almost
en- masse to Indian Neck. but the
popularity OF the Neck Is gradually
abating and the youth of the town
is seeking new fields. For that rea-
son. the lake resorts had IL great
play last summer and it is expected
that the coming season will also see
those places crowded.
This city has always been a great
weekend town because of the
proximity of resorts and the city,
over some week-ends, is deserted.
The huge lines of cars returning
Sunday evening from everywhere

Of New Britain folk and Main street.
