If anything further in the way of evidence was needed, the Car nera- Godfrey fungo-hitting con- test should make it manifest that the whole heavyweight business has developed into racket.
 It differs in some respects from other and more sinister rackets, in that it is legalized and pursued right out in the open, but it oper- ates nevertheless on the same gen. eral proposition:
 Once a customer, always cus- toner.
 So long as the customers contin- ue to knock each other down trying to get through the turnStiles, the racketeers who manipulate the heavyweight menagerie have every reason to continue operations. It is no concern of theirs that events in the ring recently have empha- sized that they (the events) no longer come under the head of sport, of fighting or of boxing. The gate receipts are the main thing.
 Tex Rickard, at one time sev- eral years ago when he was beset by the exorbitant demands of managers said to me: "These fel- lows make demands all out of pro- portion They want protection. They hedge and picker. I never seed nothin' like it. I tell you they are going to kill the gamt that has made them rich.'
 Tex died a year and a half ago but the manipulation of the heavy weights since then has been weird enough to make the great pro- meter turn over in his grave. There hasn't been first class heavy weight fight since Rickard died.

The craftsmanship Of Willard
Mack, rightly considered one Of the
greatest playwrights America has
produced. Is abundantly demonstra-
ted in THE Voice Of the City," his
first-all-talking picture. a Cosmo-
politan production for Metro-G Gold
wyn-Mayer which opened at the
Texas Theater last night.
The Voice Of the City," grimly
realistic, Is a faSt-moving melo-
drama Of q boys break from Sing

romance and his eventual clearance
OF the charge which jailed him. II
all takes place within the space of
twenty-four hours and because of
this contraction 1t moves with ex-
press-train speed, the dialogue tend
ing to speed up the action rather
than retard ii.
Its setting is the underworld of
a great city, and shows in vivid
fashion the life Of those people who
live in fear of the law. There is
deception, embarrassing violence,
fear and hatred all intermingled.
Yet through this plot Of shadows
there runs a shining thread Of ro-
nance. In fact, the love story is I'M
usually tender and appealing. con-
traSted az 1t is with the grim terror
Of the man hunt.
Robert Ames is splendid as the
boy. harried, innocent and confused,
while Sylvia Field, fresh from her
triumphs on the Broadway stage, is
appealing and dramatic as his
sweetheart. But outstanding honorS
so TO Willard Mack, who both wrote
and directed the story, and who
gives one Of his best character in
terpretations as Biff the detective.
He makes the detective thoroughly
human and sympathetic in spite Of
his ruthlessness. Mack secured an
excellent cast for his production.
Aside from the splendid work Of the
principals. other excellent charac-
~terizations are offered by Alice Moe,
Beatrice lanyard, Duane Thompson
John MILAN, James Farley. Clark
Marshall and Tom MCGUIRE.
