WALKER CARRIES
Big HANDICAPS
IN BOUT TONIGHT
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

CHICAGO, April 29.-UP)-The
rings bravest little warrior, Mick
ey Walker, a modern version of
Stanley Ketchell, will give away
weight, height and reach, to say
nothing of years, and attempt to
whip King Levinsky, the crude but
dangerous Chicago clown, in a 10
round heavyweight bout in the
Chicago stadium tonight.
The spectacle of the chunky little
Irishman, outweighed about %
pounds, az inches shorter, with an
inch and a half disadvantage in
reach and almost IL years older,
charging into his bigger opponent
will attract nearly 10000 persons
and approximately $4,000.
During his nearly IL years in the
ring Walker has held the welter-
weight and middleweight titles and
is bidding for a chance at the
heavyweight championship. He
faced a handicap of even greater
proportions last summer when he
held Jack Sharkey to a 15-round
draw
Since then Walker has fought
only five rounds in three bouts and
has engaged in a matrimonial ven
ture, numberless New Jersey
brawls along the banks of the
Shrewsbury, and a roadside battle
with a Red Bank filling station
operator.
-Four weeks of hard training ap-
parently have whipped him back
into fighting trim and he held a
firm 7-5 favorite. He expects to
weigh III, a pound more or less,
and Levinsky will scale 1913 or
more. Walker will be 32 in July
and Levinsky has just passed 81.

 Two great pictures arc to be found on the double feature pro- gram that began Il three-day en- gagement at Warmers State this afternoon.

 Another famous American clas- sic has at last found its way to the talking screen. We refer to rLena Rivers" the celebrated novel by Mary J. Holmes. on the States current program.
 It seems hardly necessary to give in detail the story of Lena. trans- planted from her New England home to Il southern plantation. where she and her grandmother are suffered to live with their arlstocratic relatives. When she incurs the displeasure of her cou- sin Caroline. the latter reveals tho fact that Lenas mother was never married--and Lena's cup of bit. terness is filled to overflowing.
 Charlotte Henry. seventeen-yeor r old actress who scored such tri- umph both on the stage and screen in Courage" enacts the role of Lena with an extreme naturalness and ease that is a marvel of re- straint. Her emotional scenes are exceliently handled and at nlI times her portrait is clear. con- wincing and faithful. As Gram. mt" Beryi Mercer provides an- other of her sterling. sympathetic characterization which are grip. ping in their sincerity. other lm- poftant roles are played by James
