According to Damon Runyon
 widely quoted sports writer o
 New York. stage pugilists usual
 ly are overdrawn and wholly un convincing. He is given romantic and dra
 matic attributes that not ont
 pugilist in a million possesses,
 Runyon declares.
 But this is all changed in 'Is

 James G,eason's internationa
 stage success, for there is in this
 production at the Coliseum to night, one boxer that is realistic and true to type.
 It is presented by George O'Brien, one of the most perfect ly formed men in the motion pic i ture industry. O'Brien, as tho pugilist, is amazingly natural. Ht is as natural as any professiona 1 boxer, according to Jack Demp sey. who witnessed the filming o
 the fight scenes at Fox Films West Coast Studio.
 This, however. is not at al
 unusaul,' said Alfred Green, di
 rector of the comedy success, "fol George O'Brien, in addition to be ing one of the best boxers on thu 1 Pacific Coast, is one of the mos unassuming actors 1 have ever di rected. He does not try to be tn, fighter. He is the fighter. Whei l we see O'Brien on the screen WI

 "Is Eat So?" is a colorful story
 of a prize fighter and his man ager in high society. Edmun, Lowe, who achieved worldwide fame with his interpretation O the role of Sergeant Quirt, il What Price Glory" plays tht part of O'Brien's manager. Others in the cast are Kathryr Perry, Philippe De Lacy, Cyri

 Heretofore it has been her pleas ant lot to play opposite some male star. such as Reginald Denny, Ray mond Griffith, Hoot Gibson, Bert Lytell and others.

"cYcLONE OF RANGE"
 AT COLISEUM SATURDAY

A Western picture that is grip ping from it's first flash on the screen to the finish is Cyclone of the Range" an FBO production starring Tom Tyler which will be seen at the Coliseum tomorrow, matinee and night. Here is a stirring story of the west. with all the thrills, action, hard riding and quick shooting which are part of the life in that rugged country. However this picture not only has all this in abundance. but it pes sesses in addition a note of mys- tery which is successfully and Daf- fingly sustained until the cyclonic climax. Tyler, as Tom Mackay, the kid from down Sonora way, gives a portrayal that not only discloses his brilliant hor3eman- ship, but stamps him as one of the foremost western actors on the screen. Ills little pal, Frankie Darrb. has very pleasing role to which he gives splendid in terpfetation. and Beans" his ca- nine companion. is also much in evidence.

 Ginis' decision to seek the. chief executive office of his home was one of the fruits of his differences with previous city administrations After a clean-cut decision at the pclls, "Bossy" at once became Newburyport's best known mayor The fact that he had bounced a solid fist off the chin Of q preyi- ons mayor, his forthrightness and geherally colorful temperament attracted overwhelming interest.
 When he went to New York for a trlumphal tour, retinue of news papermen waited in his hotel bed room and followed him about town
 Back in Newburyport again there were clashes with members of the city council when they refused to endorse some appointees A policeman he removed from the force was reinstated by a courts writ of mandamus.
 "Bossy' busted himself with problems of reorganization and found time for a few speaking dates here and there about New England, but he refused a vaude- vile contract.
 Last June the storm brewing over "Bossy's" proposal to oper- ate a filling station took definite form as Mayor Gillis was sum moned to court for felling shade trees without the approval of the city council. These trees were removed to improve the filling station site. After the mayors station had been operating full blast in the district that he con-. tended was growing into a busi- ness district he was charged and convicted of operating a gasoline station without permit, and the district court assessed $1,140 in fines and imposed a sentence of 330 days.
 "Bossy" appealed. And while his appeal was pending he sought out the state fire marshal for aid in arranging for storage of gaso- line. The Newburyport City Coun- cil experienced q change of heart. and voted him a permit. His long sought goal apparently within his grasp, Mayor Gillis was moved to tears. But more compllea- tions over the question of storing gasoline followed.
 And when his case was reached in superior court "Bossy" pleaded guilty to the charges. Sentence of 60 days hard labor and fines of $545 were imposed.
