With all the dash, nep and skill
of his 1927 career, wildcat" Car
ter amazed fight fans Wednesday
night by the ease with which he de-
feated Billie Petrie, Vancouver light
weight, conqueror of All Wing Lee,
Chinese boxer, at the Civic Arena.
Carter took every round of the
six cantos. Several times he rocked
Petrie with right uppercuts and
crosses to the jaw. Petrie was a
very tired boy at the final gong.
Carter showed the fans he no longer
has a "glass jaw" He took several
of Petrie's healthy wallops on his
jaw and thev never phased him.
Both boys weighed 1874 pounds. At
this WEIGHT Carter never looked bet

Leslie Building Up
Rhapsody in Black ?

NEW YORK.-With new numbers
added to the show and new faces in
the cast, Lew Leslie is busy rebuild
ing the Rhapsody in Black" to the
hit" class. Among the latest added
to the cast are Earl (Snake Hips)
Tucker, well-known from the last
"Blackbirds," and Bessie Dudley, a
former chorus girl in the show, who
now does speciality with Snake
Hips.
This is the first show which Leslie
has produced in which no chorus
girls are used. 1t is believed ulti-
mately that Lew will add a fast
stepping chorus to liven up the pro-
duction.
1t was surprising to the producer
to see how the public did not take
his production when the critics raved
over the show on the opening night.
There was very little adverse criti-
cism leveled at the show, but it
failed to show profit. However, Les
lie is busy working out plans to
bring this production up to the
standard of his former hits. Ethel
Waters, AL Moore, Blue McAllister,
Valada Snow, the Berry Brothers
and Pike Davis and his orchestra
continue to please and form the
nucleus of winning combination.
