RING GOSSIP By BILL HIGGINS
BUSH REACHES PEAK AS PINCH HITTER

It is a rarity to see a substitute boxer in main bout come through with win over an op- ponent of acknowledged class. But Willie Bush is the latest pugilistic upstart in this section to pull that very stunt. Thrown into the breach when Al Gainer was ruled null and void because of a sud- den illness, Bush tossed the hooks into Bob Olin. Bushs victory was cleancut and decisive and was marked by great rally in the last three rounds.
 Bush accomplished something that the supposedly invincible Gainer, invincible as far as state opponents are concerned, could TO: do when he fought ten rounds with Olin at the White City sev- ersl weeks ago. On the basis or last weeks showing with Olin, Bush automatically becomes a suitable opponent for Al Gainer as soon as the New Haven light heavyweight can shake off his ill., ness and resume training.
 Bush, in the opinion of many so-called fight experts, is just about the most improved fighter operating in this state at the pres ent time. It is no secret that when the former Tampa clouter first came to this city to demon strate his fistic wares he turned out to be just another importation that proved to be a "dud". And all for one reason, his inability or un- willingness to take 1t" in the stomach. After q fair start among the preliminary boys he was tossed in with some of the smarter 17o Iounders, boys who knew the value of a few well placed body punches. It was in these bouts that Bush's tender tummy became so apparent. After being draped on the ropes and sprawled on the canvas no less than 17 times in q bout wiht one K. o. Brennan of of Long Island, at the New Ha- ven Arena, Bush was given his travelling orders and told to head for the Southland from whence he came proceeded by d great repu- tatlon.
 They say that nothing can be done to remedy a soft spot in the mid -se ction, but judging from the way that Bush stood up under fire at the White City last week, there je at least one exception to the rule. He took all that the New Yorker threw at him and after q poor start rallied in the closing round to be awarded well earned decision.
 Just by saying that Bush is logical opponent for Gamer, doesn't necessarily mean that all George MulliSan has to do IS say that he will match them and the bout will be signed. oh. my gosh no. On the contrary, because of Rush's surprise win, Mulligan can expect to have to hurdle all man. ner of obstacles before closing Tor this bout that would be sure bet 10 fill the Lakewood Arena. II he does land it at all,
 Bush is one Of the hardest punchers in the l75 pound class and Dick Gray, Gamers manager knows this, and for this reason alone may not sanction the match But If Mulilgan does land the bou' it will be one worth traVellnt miles to witness.

|'Hen's Angels Held
 Over at State
Four More Days Showing of Thrilling Production

Record-breaking houses, since its opening on Wednesday last, and the constant phone calls, and letters that have been pouring into the office of the manager of Warner Brothers State, have made 1t neces- sary to hold over "Hell's Angels. the electrifying sensation of the talking screen, for four more days.
 That nothing like 1t had ever been seen before was apparent from the reaction of the audience. As the war in the clouds began and mon- strous Zeppelin nUsed its way through clouds suddenly to confront squadrons of hostile planes ma Recovering for an attack, enthusi- asm ran high. There was an aud- ible appreciation of the grandeur and daring of these marvellous scenes, but when the conflict actual skies, zoomed down into giant dirig- ibles and went hurtling through space a mass of flaming ruins, the audience was stunned. only after the picture was over and they were filing out of the theater did the spectators actually begin to marvel at the extraordinary magnificent spectacle they had seen.
 The story which leads up to this astounding spectacle is as absorbing as it is unusual. War is on and two brothers-one a noble and self-sac- rificing, the other scapegrace eager enlist in the Royal Flying Corps. Roy, the finer brother, is in love with a girl unworthy of his high ideals; the other loves all girls, but no one so much as himself. The night that they are scheduled to leave on a dangerous attack against munitions plant. Roy finds his sweetheart in another mans arms.
 Following a terrific bombardment, in which the munitions plant Is de- stroyed. they encounter Richtofen's Flying Circus" English reinforce ments arrive and a terrific "dog- fight" of the skies follows in which the giant plane of the brothers is cracked up, and they are taken prisoners. There is tremendously strong scene when the Germans threaten to shoot both men unless they divulge the Allied plans. How Roy saves the situation, despite Monte's desire to reveal everything and his triumphant courage at the close of the picture, result in stir ring and inspiring climax. Ben Lyon as the cowardly brother and James Hall as the heroic one, both contrib ute exceptionally fine performances. Their work in the airplane sequences is deserving of the highest praise. No miniatures were used for any of these shots. incidentally. Every hazard risked by the actors was gen. uine. In the big battle sequences where several Zeppelins and many dozen of airplanes took part, both men almost lost their lives. AS 1t was their injuries confined them to bed for several weeks.
 Jean Harlow. a newcomer to the screen, plays the part of the volup- tuous sweetheart. Beautiful, young, talented. it is generally admitted that she is destined to do big things on the screen. Other important roles in this United Artists picture are taken by John Darrow. Lucien Prival. Douglas Gilmore. Jane Win ton, r. Schumann Heink, Pat Som erset, Roy Wilson. Evelyn Hall, Will liam B. Davidson and Wyndham Standing.

Doc Rockwell
 Tops Strand Bill
Latest Earthquake" a Spasm From First to
 Last

A notable array of talent is to be found in the acts that open d four day engagement at Warner Broth ers' Strand theater to-day. Heading an all-star five act bill is none other than our old friend Dr Rockwell the medlcated rib-buster, in his lat. est and funniest mirthquakt .Quack, Quack, Quack." Rockwell with the aid of his customary banana stalk proceeds to give his audience a health lecture that has them in spasms of laughter from his salutation of greeting until he shoots his parting volley of advise to prospective brides, and bride lete's foot and defective bridge work. He appears on the bill al the Strand in the role of master of ceremonies and comes here with a record of causing more people tc add on weight through hearty laughs than any other comedian in present day vaudeville.
 The Merediths, "Unspoiled Aristo- crats of The Dance" have a pleas ing terpsichore presentation and are constantly interrupted by Dr Rock well who advises them of their faults in manner that keeps the auulence m constant nOWlS Ol laughter.
 Mangean's International Novelty comprises representatives of several European countries in series of difficult feats.
 Betty Jane Cooper's Revue is chock full of snappy songs, brilliant dances and clever comedy.
 The Osaka Boys in Japanese Pas times" have a novel and interesting act that goes over big at every per- formance
 The feature picture on this bill is "The Naughty F'lirt." The story. which deals with the efforts of a daring and devil may-care rich girl to win the love of one of her fath- CTS trusted employees and his uncon- ventional ways of reforming her be- fore he is willing to marry her, is str:kingly fresh and original.
 Director Edward Cline filled it with comedy and new angles, and there is surprise in every situation. Moreover, some big dramatic punch es appear in the midst of fast-step- ping comedy. roltaIno&, stoa l7--1a q
 Splendid acting is done by Miss White, leading man Paul Page. who is . new and interesting screen fig ure, and Robert Agnew, while Myrna Loy has the vampingest role she ever played.
