FOX-"BlindfOld."

With the traditional slogan of all
good troupers, The show must go on"
the stage presentation at the Fox for
this week surmounted the difficulties
of a stage fire last night.
It all happened some time before the
last show and when the final perform
ance got under way it was necessary for
those in the deliberately prepared revue
TO do their turns in the narrow bit of
water-puddled stage in front of we'll
soaked curtain. But the performers
did remarkably well under the difficult

man Lines"
An official German pictorial rec
ord of the chief battles and campaigns
of the World War, under the title of
Behind the German Lines" occupies
the place of honor on this weeks pro-
gram at the Little Theater, celebrating
its reopening under new management,
with an augmented musical section.
The film. produced by UFA and re-
leased in this country under the Para
mount banner, is an unSentimentalized
and actually unprecedented documenta-
ton of the German side Of the fray.
The Subtitles consist mainly of quota
tons from official communicates: there
is no mistaking the German point of
view the words eve" did this. or ''our"
army was victorious, and mention OF
Americas entry into the war as that
fateful day"D. but that point of view
is naturally taken and contains none
of the essence of propaganda or hero
ism. Technically, .the epic unfolds
through the media of actual pictures
and the use of diagrams illustrating
the ever-changing allied and German
battle fronts There is no story in
the sense that The Big Parade" had
a story. The picture borrows no drama
from plot or acting. There are mo-
ments of startling and terrible realism:
perhaps few pictures could have shown
more clearly the inanity and crime
of war than this unaffected record.
Some of the photography, all from 10
to Is years old. is blurred. but on
the whole the camera work is out
standing.
A remarkable subfeature presses
Behind the German Lines" for laurels.
1t is the filming of duel between
a mongoose and cobra. 1t must GER
tainly rank as one Of the most vivid
bits of animal photography yet achieved.
A ridiculous and amusing satire on
the early style of movie comedy, and
a film entitled "Ruined-or the Tragedy
of a Morphine Fiend," originally
projected as a tragedy some Is years
ago. but today, because of its antiquated
methods, presented as comedy.

COLUMBIA--"The Trail of 49,"
The spectacular film version of the
Klondike gold rush, according to Rober..
w. Services original story, which Clar-
ence Brown directed for Metro
GoldWyn-Mayer under the title THE
Trau of 49," Is playing its second week
at Columbia, with Dolores del Rio and
Ralph Forbes in the chief dramatic
roles.
1t doesn't really matter great deal
who plays these roles-they are obvi-
ously simply good cinema names. The
real appeal in The Trail of '98" is in
Browns handling Of his crowds on the
long trail and his choice of incident
and detail to drive home the spirit of
the story. the hardship. the madness,
the Illustration. Forbes has done much
better in some of his earlier films. and
one need mention only Resurrection"
in Miss del Rios case for a comparison
of what she is capable of doing with
what she does in The Trail Of 49," If
it is sufficient to say that Miss del Rio
is consistently lovely and that Mr.
Forbes is lnfallibly handsome, even in
the toughest of clothes and under the
most unfavorable Of circumstances, then
both of these players may be said to
be entirely adequate. For those OF us
who would like semblance of realism
in our acting. to match the uncompro-
missing realism of most of the trail
sequences in THE Trail of 49," the star
leads might have been truer to their
first accomplishments on the screen.
The background in the film is its chief
and final recommendation
The Columbia program offers, in addi-
ton to the big feature, a movietone
novelty built about Johnny Marvins
virtuosity on the steel guitar special
talkie reel on the opening of Mr. Loews

 SAMMY MANDEl.L
Champion Goes Through Final Preparations for Bout Tomorrow

Chicago, Aug. 1 PHSurrounded by a police guard to thwart possible attempts at violence against him, Sammy Mandell today went through final preparations for the 1O-round clash in defense of his world light weight championship against Tony Canzoneri at Chicago Stadium Fri day night.
 1 The champion late yesterday se- cretly slipped away from his train- ing camp. accompanied by the police guard. He was upset by annoyances, believed to have been inspired by a gambling group endeavoring to stage a betting coup.
 Mandell went to a hotel where he expected 10 remain with his body guard, leaving only to take q final workout today. He left the camp ahead of his schedule after anony- nous telephone calls and providers had gotten on his nerves" He said | to harm him. but decided to take no chances and hurriedly moved out.
 Mandell was a big favorite in the betting, the odds having mounted steadily in his favor during the past week. He was quoted at to 2 F late yesterday and it was expected his price would go higher before the fight, when it was learned that he was only a fraction of a pound over the division limit of 135 pounds.
 Both the champion and Canzoneri, the challenger, today were to finish up with six rounds of f1oorwork. Mandell still had little weight to remove, but Tony was down to 133 and planned on just enough work to rtain his edge.
 This is how lightweight champion Sammy Mandell and Tony Canzoneri the challenger, compare physically:

 Chicago, Aug. 1 P-Those color ful Cubs with the Grade-A chins go down fighting and they come up the same way.
 Factors in every pennant race since Joe Mccarthy, the King Chin was crowned, the Chicago outfit has that old determination and fighting instinct so essential to a club with championship aspirations.
 Character analysis who emphasize the importance of good strong chin in the facial makeup might use the Cubs as models.
 For, it's hard to find a major league club with peter chins and there aren't many clubs which have made a more consistent and deter, mined fight for leadership than the Chicago team.
 That chin of McCarthy's Is one of the prize physiognomical protub- erances of baseball. It has few equals on the diamond. And it's wearer had few equals as fighter
 Mccarthy has enough chin to help out in Cub quarters where there is a deficiency. He also has enough right to go around.
 Out in front of the players unit of the Cubs Chin club are Hornsby Grimm, Wilson, Root and Stephen son.
 There isn't a chin in the lot that can be spared if the Bruins are to win the flag they have been battling for so strenuously.
 Hornsby is lining up 10 eXpecta- tions as the needed unit in a pen nant winning combination.
 Wilson, with his home run pro- pensities, is absolutely indispensable to the team, as are also Riggs Step henson, the swatting fly-chaser; Charley Grimm, the ace-high first baseman, and Charley Root, the pitching mainStay.

Cormier, pitching for the '. NJ. C. A. team, proved to be too much for the Smith crew in the game on Diamond Mo- and the "Y" carried away a IA to 9 victory. The win ners were behind g to l in the early innings, but they came through in the last part of the game to wipe out this lead and take the contest.
 Anderson, southpaw with good looking delivery, occupied the mound for the Smith team. He lacked control and although he pitched a fine game, his inability 10 find the plate cost him several runs. He passed a total of IS men al though he struck out 10 and allowed only four hits Six errors behind him. also helped in the debacle. Charlow started on the mound for the winners but he was relieved by Cormier in the third inning. After shaky start, Cormier warmed up to his task and he held the Smith team scoreless for the remainder of the game.
 The Smithers scored four runs in the first inning and five in the third, while the "Y" was getting a
 lone counter in the second. Then
 in the fourth, Anderson developed streak of wldness and before the
 "Y' was closed out, six runs had been scored. Two more came in in the sixth. three in the seventh and two in the eighth.

Industrial League Teams to Clash Tonight at Walnut Hill

One game is scheduled to be play ed tonight in the Industrial base ball league at Walnut Hill park. This will be between the American Paper Goods of kensington and the P. & F. Corbn combine. Both teams are primed for a real battle and there should be plenty of good baseball on tap.
