WARNER BROS
 GIFT NIGHT
Draws Crowds to Strand Theater Tuesday and
 Friday Evenings
VALUABLE PRESENTS

Participating in the gift night par ties being staged every Tuesday and Friday night at the Warner Bros. Strand theater is proving the popular pastime among the amusement lov- ing Waterburians at the present time. Attendance at the first two parties war fair but last Friday proved be- yond the slightest doubt that the theater followers appreciate devia- tions from the usual routine bills. The audience jumps right into the spirit of the party when Pete Shea strolls out before the footlights to
 make his announcements and at the
 same time explain the manner in
 which the event is to be staged.
 Pete gets many laughs as he sand
 wiches in a pun or two between the regular announcements.
 There were 24 gifts presented at
 last Fridays show and the same
 number will be given way to-mor-
 row night. Each and every gift is
 worthwhile going up to the stage for and expressions of appreciation can
 be noticed as the fortunate person
 walks back to his seat. The parties
 only consume a half hour of the | regular show time, but the 30 min
 utes proves too short in a good many | instances.

SPORTS SPARADE'
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. %. U.P)-That
million dollar gate we were talk
ing about several chapters back
will descend upon us in a year If
Primo Camera whips Jack Sharkey
in their October l engagement in
the Brooklyn ball park.
We say if Carnera whips Shar-
key, because it's all up to the big
Italian. Camera, Schmeling and
Tunney are the only three men in
the world who pitted against Jack
Dempsey, would do million dol
lars worth of business. And you
can throw out Schmeling and Tun-
ney as possible foes for the old
Manassa Mauler. Schmeling is
out because Dempsey is entirely
too smart to match his wobbly legs
against the tirelesS champion.
Schmeling with his superb stamina
and bulldog patience is the last
man Jack wants to meet.
Tunney is out because he's out.
What we mean is Gene meant it
when he said he was through for
ever. There has been some talk Of
late about the former champion
coming back, but don't you believe
it. He's through.
With Schmeling and Tunney out
of the picture, Camera is the sole
hope Of the million dollar gate.
Sharkey and Dempsey would draw
a pretty penny. cause the folks will
still pay to see Jack fight anybody.
But Camera VS.. Dempsey is the
natural. And we think it is COM
ing to pass. Which means We
think Carnera, with all his faults,
will take Sharkey's measure. Please
don't ask us why we think such a
thing. Like you and you and you
we know that Sharkey is the bet
ter boxer, the harder hitter, and
has forgotten more about ringcraft
than Camera will ever know. Just
the same it's our belief that Primo
will win.
