Carnera Cant Dance

They tell me that Primo Car

ton as a stage attraction for the
simple reason that our statutes
forbid public boxing exhibitions.
Cameras act includes some judi
cious questioning of the new
heavyweight champion and then
he dons the padded mits for a
few harmless exchanges with a
partner.
I understand that Louis K. Sid
ney, Loew's amusement genius,
argued unsuccessfully to have the
mountain man go into a dance.
It was the Sidney opinion that
should Carnera shake those size

Gience would be such that the
walls would burst with applause.
It would Immediately make him
available for all the Loew de luxe
theaters at a staggering salary.
But Carnera no can dance. He
can't put them up and down to
the buck and wing tempo. 1t is,
he opines, easier to train his
fists than to educate his feet to
fast rhythms.
BY the way, right across the
State line, or to be specific, at
Silver Spring, Md, they are not
bothered by Uncle Sans silly re-
Strictions. A memorandum from

the voluptuous sonnet in curves

as the best acted picture in 1888,
"The Silver Cord" This will
probably make no great dividend
for RKO-Radio, but it had the
memorable performances of Irene
Dunno, Laura Hope Crews and
Frances Dee. Too bad it was too
rich in intellectual appeal and too
sad to make money. AS matter
of financial fact "Cavalcade,"
which rates with me close to the
finest picture ever made, will not
make Fox rich. Unless Holly

Sensational circus stunts will
be on view at Seaside Park,
Chesapeake Beach, for a week
beginning July 20 when the great
DeRizkie and his company set up
their trapezes and slack wires at
the resort.
The performers will present
their death-defying acts twice a
day. There will be no admis-
sion charge, the acts being pre-
sented by the park management
for the entertainment Of their
patrons.
The great DeRizkie himself
offers his sensational climb up a
nearly perpendicular wire and his
descent on his head as a thrilling
climax of the performance. Acts
on the flying trapeze, novel wire
stunts and clown capers on un-
supported ladders are included on
the program.
