Of Roy Wilson, of San Antonio, Tex,

from the ivory market at Dallas.
Wilson had good season last year

The Washington times., 1927-12-10

II was Delaney's first appearance
in Chicago, and he registered with
a bang. Although the Delaney
Berlenbach act is trifle shopworn,
especially in the East, the bout
went over big here, and justly so.
The boys fought every second with
everything they had.
The shifty Delaney had too many
guns for the once formidable As
toria assassin. Jack tore into him
at the first gong and weakened
him with terrific rights to the jaw
But not until the third round did
Paul go down under the assault.
Then he arose slowly and walked
in for more.
The fourth and fifth rounds
were duplicates of the other
three. 1t was only n question
of how much punishment Ber.
lenbach could take. He landed
several times with that once
deadly left, but it lacked steam
and If Delaney was hurt by any
of them he gave no evidence
Of the fact.
Starting the sixth, Delaney un-
leashed his pile-driving right. alter.
mating with right crosses and VIC
ious uppercuts. Berlenbach went
down. but wouldn't take the count.
He staggered to his feet and waded
in. Delaney could be heard ad.
vising Referee Jimmy Gardner to
stop the fight. Gardner hesitated
while Delaney uncorked few more
whitening rights. Paul's knees were
sagging when the referee called
halt.
1t was the fourth meeting be-
tween Berlenbach and Delaney. The
latter has stopped him twice and on
another occasion won decision in
Is rounds. Berlenbach holds one
15-round decision over Delaney.
After it was all over, Berlenbach
packed away his gloves carefully
saying he would keep them as a
souvenir of his last fight. Paul
said this was positively his last ring
appearance.

"TIN HATS" CLOSES TONIGHT

When the armiStlce was signed, the whole world cheered-and gave a long pent up sigh of relief. At least almost the whole world did. But there were a few, a very few men who were just the least bit dis appointed and disgusted to think they never had an opportunity to get into the argument. It is about these few that the hilarious story of Tin Hats" was written. The story con- cerns three doughboys, one a rich mans son, another a New York egg, drafted into the service, and the third the son of a St. Louis brewer. The three disgruntled ones are played by Conrad Nagel, Bert Roach and George Cooper and they arrived in the front line trenches just in time to hear the referee announce that That's all there is there isn't any more." However the plot thick ems when they are sent into Ger many in the army of occupation and their subsequent adventures make the real war look like the Saturday evening strawberry festival back in Pawtucket.

CORINNE GRIFFITH

The program for the week begin ming Sunday at the Strand has many features of interest. The feature photoplay for the first four days of the week beginning Sunday is Cor inne Griffith in "The Lady in Er- mine" adapted from the stage hit of the same name.

 The management also announced that it has booked for three days engagement to begin Monday January 24th, the famous Roscoe Ails and Kate Dullman in the vaudeville turn that has been one of the most notable contributions to the big time for many years.

THE RAT OPENS AT
 LYCEUM ON SUNDAY
Also SandoH in "Yhe Call of > the Wilderness"

''The Rat" which opens tomorrow night at the Lyceum theater, is out standing in many ways but more particularly on account of the great array of feminine beauty incorpor- ated in it's cast. Few, if any. pictures have ever had so many beautiful women to feast the eyes as "The Rat" Apart from it's beauty ap- peal. this picture is tremendous dramatic sensation that will stir the emotions. The cast is headed by Mae Marsh, Ivor Novello and Isabel Jeans. On this some program is Sandow, famous dog of the movies in "The Call of the Wilderness"
 "The Rat" it will be rem membered, has scored a distinct hit as stage production on Broadway and even more than in the stage production, this picture is breath taking in its vivid portrayal of Paris underworld life in the Montmartre district.
 The story is a chapter from the life of Paris Apache, that notori- ous character identified with Pa risian night life. The drama opens on one of the by-ways of Paris where the spectator sees '"The Rat keeping the gendarmes busy. He eludes the two who are following him and slips down grating in the street until they pass. Scene shifts to the luxurious boudoir of a social ly prominent young wife whose husband enters to advise her that he has arranged to satisfy her craving for sensation by taking her to the 'White Coffin," a cafe of low re- pute in the Montmarte. It is thus that the principal characters are brought together and in a masterly dramatic shifting of situations plot develops that holds one tense to the end, through the dramatic murder trial that comes late in the drama to the tremendous anti-climax which concludes the story.
 The news reess and selected com- edies round out each bill and the serial Showed In" is showed the last three days of each week.
