ploying the English language, Warner

the gordian knot by the establishment
of a Vitaphone School of Languages
to train the screen players in pro-
nunciation and the accentuation of
words and sentences in German,
French, italian and Spanish. It is to
be located in the new Music Arts Build
ing nearing completion on the First

both companies.

edy is strongly featured, the principal
romance is that between Mr.. Brown,
as a dub preliminary fighter, and the
volatile Miss Lightner. The secondary
cast as a contender for the heavyweight
championship, and Sally O,Neil. Also
in the cast are Bert Roach, Dorothy
Revier, Jack Curtis, Tony Stabenau
and others.
The story has to do with the events
leading up to the championship fight,
and the efforts made to prevent the
contender from winning the match. It
ends happily, but thrills succeed laughs
SO rapidly during the unfolding of the
plot that the outcome is always in
doubt.

 Mara also got an opportunity to explain what his occupation was at the time he was working so hard for Gene Tunney.
 He was a book maker at the New York tracks-and the tracks didn't open up until May. He was a promoter of professional football and the season didn't start until fall. And he was interested in pro noting the financing of some sort o. photograph record-not himself which he couldn't explain very exactly for the court.

 In telling of his efforts to push Tunney's interests to the fore, Mara brought in the name of Paddy Null lins, manager of Harry Wills, Negro boxer, and Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants with whom he conferred or the possible use of the Polo Grounds.

HEAVY DAMAGE IN
 EUROPEAN STORM
Several Lives Lost in Gale That
 Hits England

London, Nov. LP - A wide trail of damage with several lives lost, many persons injured and consider able property loss were left today over western Europe and England by a storm which twisted up from the Atlantic.
 The velocity of the wind varied from 90 to 70 miles an hour. It ripped off roofs, felled trees, brok e down telephone wires and turned over motor cars.
 |. Thunder storm Present
 Thunder, lightning and a deluge of rain accompanied the storm. and many houses were flooded. There were enormous seas. The steamer Isle of Thanet bound from Folke- stone to Boulogne was severely bat tered, Its bridge was partly demol- ished and two seamen injured.
 On the Maid of Orleans, plying across channel. four passengers were hurt when a great wave smashed in two port holes on the port side of the ship and flooded part of the deck. The Greek steamer sMenelaos sent a message from two miles south of St. Catherine's Point, Isle of Wight, that she was seriously damaged. A life boat put out from shore and took off the passengers.
 A miniature tornado struck the Essex shore near the mouth of Thames. Motor cars were turned over in the streets and pedestrians were blown off their feet. Several roofs were stripped, and large trees were uprooted. The tornadic vio- lence of the wind lasted only two or three minutes. but thunder, light ming. sleet and rain continued over the area all day.
 Reports of Damage
 From channel ports ln both France and England there were re- ports of damage and delay to many small craft which had to put in to escape violence of the tempest. In Portland harbor a seaplane anchor ed there overturned in the squal and sank.
 At Altenrhein, Switzerland. the first leg of the flight of the huge airplane DO-N from it's home port to New York, had to be postponed.
