A Good Trick

They tell me-those who ought

trick in rhythmic breathing
which makes possible such shoul-

admiration and marveling at
what an ordinary shoulder joint
can stand if properly trained.

Hollywood Heroe
Do Overtime

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, Jan. %.
Give us more leading men, cry the
producers Of Hollywood.
The shortage is so acute at
R.K.O. that Joel McCrea probably
will, be drafted to play opposite
Ann Harding as well as Constance
Bennett. This was admitted
yesterday by Radio officials who
have scanned Hollywood for a
suitable masculine lead in DE
classee."
Joel fills the bill, Of course, but
there was the question of conflict
ing schedules between the pic
lures of R.K.O.'S two leading
feminine stars. With Connie Ben
nett still working on "Our Bet
ters," however, the studio heads
figure they can finish with Joel
in ''DeclaSSee" before he is needed
for BED Of Roses"
The prospect of so much work
isn't bothering the tall young
actor a bit. I talked with him
yesterday, and he is enjoying q
brief vacation here in Los Angeles.

unless you have to. Let's say
it was a famous fight-and
that one feller's name was Joe
while the others name was
Frank. 1t happened plenty Of
years ago.
A Future Champ
Prank was supposed to be
built up for a championship
match. and business was done
with Joe. Joe wouldn't agree
to be knocked out, but he
promised to be so definitely
outpointed that the decision
would have to go to Frank.
Moody knew much about this
Frank feller except that he
looked good in training. He had
bowled over a couple of set
ups-alSo by the business route
and it looked like a cinch for
the big fight is he could get
past Joe. And with Joe being
paid off right, it was strictly
okay.
We'll. along come the night
and both men are in the ring.
It doesn't take Joe more than
two seconds to learn that this
Frank is one Of the worst buns
that ever stepped into the ring.
Joe can knock him out with
his eyes shut and it worries
him plenty. cause if he amt
outpointed he doesn't figure to
get paid.
Joe does his best to get in
the way of different punches,
but this Frank is so bad that
he misses nine out Of ten. BY
the time the fifth round rolls
around Joe is plumb disguised.
He knows he's gotta do some
thing in a hurry or Frank will
fall over from sheer exhaustion.
And that was the one thing in
the world that Joe didn't want.
I'm the middle Of the fifth
round, a miracle happens.
Frank lets go Of a punch from
nowhere and connects with
Joe'S chin. Joe amt hurt, but
for the moment he forgets him
self and grows a bit sore. He
goes after Frank and begins
to punch him aiI around the
ring.

Spectacular Career
As one Of the most famous
or infamouS-gentlemen that
the colored race has produced
IN America, johnson has had a
career that has few equals. He
mas been accused Of practically
every crime on the calendar.
! They have said this about the
man. And that. And the
other. At one time in his
career, he was barred from al
most every country in the
, world. The colored race has
repudiated his actions time and
time again. He knows what the
/ inside Of a prison looks like.
He has admitted that he took
part in any number of phony
tights, and that he was no more
knocked out by Jess Willard
than you were.
You may think Of him as a
scamp and a rogue, but surely
you can never take away from
him the fact that he has lived
hard, dangerously and well.
Neither can you take away his
sense Of humor nor his unfail-
Ing optimism.
If you could have seen him as
] did this morning, I'm quite
certain you would agree with
me. I knew there wasn't any
too much dough in the family
sock. I knew the man was
growing older. All my common
sense told me that the end of
the game couldn't be too far
away.
And yet-there sat Jack, re-
citing amusing anecdotes by the
carload. His white wife-a de-
cidedly keen-Witted and pretty
woman-sat contentedly by his
side. People Strolled from diff
ferent directions to get q look
at him, and he loved it. His
beret perched jauntily upon his
huge dome. His tan coat, tan
gloves, tan slIit, tan socks and
tan shoes made the perfect
combination.

in Budapest, Trieste and Fiume. After
ward he was an interpreter at Ellis
Island. He studied law and was finally

Immediately made arrangements with
the Mexican scientists who, as official
