COOPER'S FIRST
TALKER AT CIRCLE

Gary Cooper's first starring pic
ture for Paramount. Seven Days
Leave" the all-talking dramatiza-
ton Of Sir James Barrie's we'll
known play, THE Old Lady Shows
Her Medals" is now showing at the
Circle.
Directed by Richard Wallace and
acted by Gary Cooper and Beryl
Mercer in the leading roles, with
a well chosen supporting cast,
Seven Days Leave" 1t is said,
emerges as one Of the most fasinat-
ing and, at the same time, one of
the most unusual pictures of the
season. There is said to be heart
felt warmth about Seven Days
Leave" that distinguishes 1t from
the usual run of screen fare.
In the leading feminine role Is
Beryl Mercer, cast as the lovable,
yet pathetic. Mrs. Dewey. Miss
Mercer, it will be remembered, Gre
ated the same role when this ia
nous Barrie play was seen on the
New York legitimate stage some
few years ago. Gary Cooper is said
to be splendid in a role that suits
his drawing mannerisms.
His role is that of the Canadian
soldier on leave in London, who is
adopted by a childless old woman,
who would make him her son.
Others in the cast are Daisy Bel
more, Tempe Pigott, Nora Cecil,
Arthur Hoyt and Arthur Metcalf.

BOUT
FRIDAY NIGHT

CHICAGO. June 1S.-Sports
circles today were discussing the
sudden p0stponement until Fri
day of the heavyweight bout
scheduled for tonight between
Otto Won Porat. Norwegian con-
tender, and Young Stribling, Of
Georgia.
The postponement was agreed
upon by stadium officials and
the managers of both fighters
yesterday after PA" Stribling de-
clared his son had injured his
left hand while training here
for the bout.

power of action. The first
time you place your clubhead
forward, concerning yourself
only with the smoothness,
rythm and timing of the &C
ton, you doubtless will get an
electrifying lesson in just how
hard the old clubhead can hit
when you give it chance to
do it. Also, in the paced &C
ton your hands will appear to
stop as they come back TO a
line even with the ball, while
the clubhead swings on. This
is correct. The clubhead swings
"off your wrists" and, while
the hands do not actually stop,
they do appear to slow up con-
siderably. This slowing action
increases the velocity Of the
clubhead, being exactly the
opposite Of the "deadening" Of
the clubhead which takes place
when you try to force or push
the action. A few practice
swings will demonstrate.
