''Sorrell and Son." Warwick Deep
ings beautiful novel OF father love,
which was one Of the most successful
films Of the silent era, has been re-
made as talking picture, with H. B.
Warner again playing the role Of the
father, Stephen Sorrell, which he or
iginated with such marked success in
the earlier film.
The picture, showing at the Para
mount Theatre Wednesday and Thus
day, surpasses, beyond any question
Of doubt, its silent counterpart, and
will. incidentally, give you some idea
OF how rapidly our English brothers
are overtaking us in the matter Of
motion picture production.
The tender mood Of Deeping's story
has been faithfully preserved by Lydia
Hayward, who adapted the novel to
the talking screen In close association
with the author: and the skillful d.
rectorial touches Of Jack Raymond
deserve special praise, for thanks to
them the strong emotional scenes in
which the story abounds - notably
the delicate fadeout-emerge utterly

Warner adds to this new portrayal
Of the noble Captain sorrell, who. de-
serted BY his wife, takes mental en-

Will Practice Punch.

IN OSS, like Fields, uses a fast
X jab with circling up and down
motion" said Pop. He keeps
his right hand high and seldom uses
it unless in close. Now. the only way
to box a fellow like that is to time
the downward swing of the fist and
counter over it with a right-hand
chop. In this way you can break
up the motion and force him into
slugging. When it comes down to
that point, l don't think there Is a
fighter within 10 pounds of Jimmy's
weight who can stand up to him"
Pop went through the motions
while he was talking and it was OBJ
served that Jimmy watched every
move intently. Picking up an old
l6-ounce training glove. Jimmy told
O'Connor to stand up and do what
he saw Pop show him. O'Connor
dropped his head slightly with each
jab and. before O'Connor knew what
was happening. swinging right nailed
him just back of the ear.
That's the stuff" cried Foster.
jubilantly. "One of those, Jim, and
there won't be much left to do"
From now on until McLarnin rests
up for the real fight, he will practice
that punch just under and to the
side of the ear. If Ross stands up
under it he will prove to be bet
ter fighter than most fans figure
him to be-

NfcLARNIN admits he does not hit
1vl as hard with his left as he does
with his right cross, but, as he
explains, Il have to shorten up the left
to get it over. With the right I am
away and can get more drive because
I can pivot with the blow"
Foster has seen Ross in action. Back
in the early days of Barney's career he
fought six-round preliminary in Los
Angeles and did not look so good. But
Pop is not banking on what he saw
that night. He relies Ross had not
fully developed and has learned a lot
of things since then.
In the gymnasium here, McLarnin
gave the lie to those who confidently
asserted that his long stay away from
actual ring service had slowed him
down to a walk. Jimmy is faster
than he was eight years ago, when he
started fisticufing as fiyweight. He
does not jump around the way he
used to. Now it is sinking, slipping
glide, in and out, with both hands
poised for attack and defense. He
slips punches easily and strikes out
with amazing speed.
Talking things over with Foster,
. one soon learns that he had the Ross
match in mind ever since it was first
proposed in January. He checked
over Barney's connections in Los An
geles and Chicago and learned that
the lightweight champion picked up
most of his boxing style from Jackie
Fields. when the latter was welter-
weight champion.

Maj. Miller has an argument ready.
The Hartley boxing bill, Maj.
Miller points out, reads that the
boxing commission, subject to the
approval of the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia, shall have power
to cooperate with the organizations
engaged in the promotion and control
of boxing. to supervise and regulate
boxing within the District of Colum-
bia, to make such orders, rules and
regulations as the commission deems
necessary for carrying out the powers
herein conferred upon it.
The act also directs no person
shall engage in any boxing exhibition
in the District of Columbia without
a license from the commission. Here
again the law does not make a dis
tinction as to professional, amateur,
collegiate or juvenile boxers.
Charged with the enforcement OF
the law, which became effective on
April "a, 1884, the commission rec
ognizes as from that date its duty
to supervise and regulate boxing.
Among other duties that would in
clude the inspection of boxers attire,
the observation Of the contest itself
the printing of application forms, the
issuance Of licenses and the main
tenance of clerical force. The law
