IN Miami, win or lose.
Carey feels that due to circum
stances which, in part at least
were beyond the gardens control
the Phil Scott-Jack Sharkey
match was made an essential part
of the. heavyweight program, IN
spite of a lack of popular en-
thuSiaSm for it. AS he looks at 1t,
the garden is taking it on the
chin" in the interests of putting
through the match as a "neces-
Sary evil" designed to help settle
the heavyweight championship
no later than the Summer OF 1880.
This would pave the way, next VIM i11-
ter In Miami, for pair of outstanding
title contenders to be matched.
Meanwhile, the Garden directorate
will consider itself fortunate to break
even on this weeks show or even to
pocket q small loss. With the event
only four days OF, the actual cash on
hand today was not in excess OF $780,
600. As much more was considered as
the equivalent Of cash, In the form OF
DEFINITE orders and reservations, but
the total advance sale Of around $162,-
600 compared unfavorable with the
total gate of $407, 900 for last Winters
show.
The attitude now is that If the re-
ceipts pass $250,000 three rouSing
cheers viii be given by all connected
with the financial operation. On this
basis Sharkey's end would be around
5000 and SCOTS $4,000. Phil
doesn't share equally with Jack until
after the 100000 mark is passed. Last
year Sharkey received nat 100000
and Stribling something like SOS, 900.
As the combatants, all 10 of them,
swung into the final stretch of tapering
on work today there was no substar1-
tial change In the prevailing opinion
that Sharkey will win easily from Scott
and probably knock the Englishman
out in short order Some idea has de-
veloped that Sharkey Is acting trifle
stale. due to the absence Of much snap
In his last two or three workouts. Even
Il true, the experts consider he will
need to be very, very stale in order to

FANNIE HURST
FILM STORY
AT PALACE

66T UMMOX," a story Of great
~ moral courage and perhaps
the best beloved of the novels
OF Fannie Hurst, is the latest at
traction playing the Palace.
Adaptation of a book, espe-
cially a popular novel. to the
screen is difficult at best, for
opinions as to the merits Of the
story are already formed. There
need be no heSitancy in view
ing the film version of "Lum-
mox," for Mr.. Brenon. who di-
rected, and Miss Hurst. who
wrote the story, were enthuSi'
astic in the choice of Winifred
Westover for the principal role,
and Miss Westover gives a per-
formance as the servant girl
whose depth of understanding,
whose inability to express her
self, makes one wonder at our
own thoughtless acceptance of the
best in life as our due!
Through the years wanders
Bertha, nicknamed LummoX be-
cause of his stolid walk. her
silences. her calmness in the
face of utter hopeleSsneSS; some
times her background is the
stately mansion of wealth and
well ordered lives, again a
crowded apartment where dis
content and diScord rule and at
last measure of happiness and
appreciation in the home Of a
simple, kindly man with a brood
of motherless children.
The cast is unusually large
and includes in support of Miss
Westover such familiar names as
Ben Lyon. William Collier, jr..
Danny O'Shea, Myrtle Steadman.
Dorothy Janis and young Bobby
Ullman. protege Of the beloved
Valentino.
In contrast to the soberness
of the screen feature, the stage
offers "Krazyland," a hodge
podge of fun, featuring Sammy
Timberg, who has weakness for
Snoony, none other than the
"show-stopping" Barbara Blair

PRAISE

"T AIDES of Leisure" which be-

to come within the purview Of
this critic in recent weeks.
Concocted from the Milton
Gropper play, Ladies of the Eve,
ming" little but the fundamental
idea of the Belasco opus is evi-
dent in the Joe Swerling story. The
adventures Of a free and easy
living and loving girl under the
influence of a man who believes
in her inherent goodness makes
absorbing screen fiction.
Frank Capra has given Ladies
of Leisure" magnificent direction,
and the acting submitted by Bar
bara Stanwyck, Ralph Graves,
Marie Provost and Lowell Sher-
man is always of a convincing
quality. There. are some glorious
laughs In Ladies of Leisure, -
clean laughs and wholesome fun.
Altogether a four-star screen

Bath Tub Comedy

MOVIE scenes of characters
NA taking a bath are getting
to be as common as comedies
where the director in a vain quest
for laughs strips the comedian
to his underwear.
At first when the bath tub was
glorified there was thrill for
directorial daring and always the
dreadful fear that the character
undergoing the cleansing process
might forget all about the camera
and rise from the soapsuds into
full view of the lense and
audience. AS an original idea it
may have been justified, but it
has been repeated at least half
a dozen times within the past
six months in Hollywood features
and the novelty has departed.
Even the Dixie Lee shoulder scrub
bing in THE Big Party" in the
Fox feature fails to excite more
than passing attention.

A good subordinate, according
to all accounts.
Another interesting financial
disclosure on the settlement of
the four months controversy is
that the Samuel Untermeyer fee
for attorney services rendered as
chief counsel to William Fox is
100000. He gave his entire
