NEW BOXING
MOVIE AT APOLLO

Winner Takes ALL" starring
James Cagney in new Warner
Brothers film, is the current attrac-
ton at the Apollo, where it will re-
main through Thursday next.
1t is thought that Cagney's popu-
larity gained in prestige since his
appearance in THE Crowd RoarS, -
and many who have seen his new
picture herald it as even the best
of his entire career.
The picture opens with Jim. i'll
in health, and striving for come
back at a desert sanatorium. He
meets a girl, falls in love with her.
He breaks his rest-and also his
nose and ear-by hghting to raise
some money she needs.
He leaves her with promise of
reunion and marriage to re-enter
his career in New York. Once there
he forgets her for a society girl who
is interested in him only as an od-
dity
The crude boxer goes high-hat
for the society girls sake. He has
his broken nose and cauliflower ear
fixed by plastic surgeon and starts
getting culture in big way. His
popularity drops off because he
turns "powder-puff" boxer in order
to save his new nose. 1t is only in
the middle of his biggest fight that
the truth dawns on him.
Marian Nixon appears as his first
love- Virginia Bruce, newcomer
to the screen, enacts the part of
the society girl, and other featured
roles are enacted by Guy Kibbee,
Dickie Moore and Alan Mowbray.

with A. r. Jones acting as umpire.
The two teams have met twice
this summer in the east, with each
team taking game, so that Sun

match, and promises to be hard
fought battle. Indianapolis sports
fans had look at auto polo sew

a featured attraction at the Indiana
state fair and thrilled big crowds
of spectators.
Next Wednesday, at Riverside, the
Capital Diaries will act as host to

will occur the picnic of the Big Four

Many reunions will be held in the
Riverside picnic grove during the

annual reunion of former residents
of Putnam county, to be held in
the park tomorrow.
The big Riverside rink is proving
pleasant place to skate this sum-

temperature congenial at all times.
Roy Byers, rink manager of many

beautiful girl friend, joins him in
his rabid idolatry of Buck Benson,
the famous movie cowboy hero, and
urges him to go to Hollywood to
emulate the exploits of the revered
Buck. At last Erwin saves enough
money to go to Hollywood. In the
film capital he tramps from studio
to studio, never finding the Elysium
he had always believed was there.
At last, through the kindness of
Joan Blondell, a hard-boiled "dou-
BILE" for famous star, Erwin gets
his first job before a camera. He
is virtually kicked into fame-for
the performance he gives as serious
drama is so terrible that the direc-
tors see its great value as hilarious
comedy and so he succeeds,
a Serio-c0mic, who doesn't know why
he has made good.

All of them agree that Rose and
Mitzi Rieffenach, lovely sisters of
the riding Rieffenach family, are
the horseback stars of stars, no mat
ter where the discussion may take
place-Vienna, Berlin, Paris or in
the dressing tents of the Greatest
Show on Earth.
The two girls were raised in the
famous circus buildings of the con-
tinent, and they have ridden in
public since they were tots. No
body has to be told, who knows
anything of circus families, that
all of their forebears were bare
back riders. That is tradition, and
circus families follow 1t as a mat
ter Of course.
Rose and MitZi, however, have
the only sister act in the world, and
it is famous from Moscow to Mad
rid; from Vancouver to Buenos
Aires, as the finest and most ap-
pealing equestrian Offering ever
conceived.
These girls, with their sister Ber-
tie, also work with the rest of their
kin in that elaborate act known as
the Rieffenach Family, which is
one of the most famous of the fam
lily groups, rivaled only by the
Davenports, another riding family
with the Ringing Bros. and Bar
mum and Bailey circus.

Daphne Pollard, Noted Fun
maker, Comes
Soon.

Daphne Pollard, the little mad
cap comedienne of the tslkies, has
been booked for a personal appear
ance engagement for the week
starting July %, by the manage
ment Of the Lyric theater.
The famous English funmaker will
top the usual stage show of six
vaudeville acts.
Daphne Pollard halls from the
English music halls where her par
ticular brand of eccentric clowning
held sway for many years.
1t is said that Charlie Chaplin
first discovered her and brought the
comedienne to Hollywood for her
first picture tests.
Mack Sennett starred her in many
series of two-reel comedies in the
silent days and since the advent of
the talkieS she has become quite
popular in the audible comedies.
She presents her act in four
scenes, each with a special song, set
of scenery and costume. The songs
are all original and have been writ
ten especially for the screen player.
She climaXeS her act with num-
ber known as The Policeman

sented this revue at the London
Hippodrome and has used it widely
ever since, until it is closely iden-
titled with her.

logue and acrobatic comedy dance
with a policeman character.

Why Steal a Cats Bed?

Lionel Barrymore, while playing
the senator and political power in
1.-The Washington Masquerade" at
the Metro -Goldwyn-Maye studios,
insisted that the overcoat he wore
in some of his scenes be kept in
corner of the stage, though he WASH t
using it. 1t seems that Bill, the Per-
sian cat used in the picture, has
taken q fancy to it as a sleeping
place-and Barrymore had taken a
fancy to Bill and wasn't going to
rob him of his bed.

State Will Send
Exhibit To Fair

Cooperating with the local agri-
cultural commissioners office, the
state department of agriculture is
sending an exhibit to the county
fair which will demonstrate the
methods of rodent and weed con-
troll, and also one on milk inspec-
tion which will be used in the dairy
exhibit
The former display will make
clear to visitors at the fair the
methods of eliminating harmful
rodents and pestilent weeds which
do SO much to injure agriculture
in this state. Through the quar-
antine service, many plant diseases
and pests are eliminated and the
rodent and weed control program
is aimed to eradicate those already
in existence.
California owes much of its sue
cess in agriculture to it's rigid pro-
gram of control which, in each
county, is carried on by the agri-
cultural commissioner and his
office.
