couldn't make it until wei after the
swan song was rendered by the ref

The Silver Bow Athletic club staged
the show. It had been announced that
the men would fight at 135 pounds The
agreement articles. however, specified
1876 pounds. King could not make the
weight, and Al Herford, manager Of
Cans who had arrived In town the
morning of the bout, claimed the $3.50
weight forfeit It developed that
neither King nor his manager, Joe
Lucas, had ever posted the forfeit
money There was considerable wrangl-
ing over the forfeit item, but the club
managed by Abe Cohen, refused TO be
drawn into the matter. Abe told the
boxers and managers to solve their own
problems.

While Cans won easily, the fans did
not get enthused over the match. King
demonstrated that he did not belong ia

King was ready to quit several times
From the second round on, Cans threw
let's and rights to all parts Of Kings
head and body without taking very
many blows IN return. Joe was impress
sed with the seriousness Of Referee Nc
Donald's second warning, that unless
they really mixed, he would call the
contest of and neither boxer would
get any money. It wasn't sweet music
to the ears Of Cans, but 1t had the
necessary effect, for the Baltimore Lad

to wager that Young Peter would put
Ike away in less than the full distance.
No one backed Ike TO the extent OF
$3.50 so the preliminary was not stag

were fighting at Buffalo, N. Y, that af-
ternoon, so the rolind-by round returns

Rx IOHN PEERE MILES

HOLLYWOOD, June 29.-Any
girl who looks at herself in the
mirrow a few minutes after rising
can appreciate the dread and pain
caused by seeing themselves for
the first time in pictures.
The first chance many new
comerS to the screen get to see
themselves is through the medium
of "ruShes," those Segments Of the
pictures which are "shot" the day
before and shown to the director
and players involved the morning
following.
Pauline Lord, famed on the
stage, and now a Paramount con-
tract actress, lives in mortal dread
Of "ruShes." It is a fact that
when she was making Mrs. Wigs
Of the Cabbage Patch" she was
lured into seeing her first "rushes'
and she never quite got over her
fright.
Miss Lord threatened to quit
pictures entirely and would have
done 50, but for some strenuous
augmentation on the part Of her
director. It seems that the actress
had had an entirely different
conception Of her appearance.
The makeup had aged her 10
years.
She saw no "rusheS" after that
The Washington times., 1935-06-29
The First "Rushes" Scare Most Actors to Death

Margaret Sullivan admits that
she is afraid to see herself, "be-
cause I can see room for improve
ment whenever I do, and so I
miss the ruShes as a rule, al
though I insist on seeing them
whenever new makeup or gowns
present problems that must have
my personal care"
When AL Jolson saw his first
screen test, made for D. w.
Griffith, he quit cold. It was
three years before they could get
him to face a movie camera again.
Mary Brian consistently refuses
to see her uncompleted scenes for
the reason that she is never quite
satisfied with herself. Gail Patrick
feels the same way.
The movie men, on the other
hand, are more hardened to sights
Of themselves. Gary Cooper, Bing
Crosby, w. C. Fields and Charles
Laughton would rather see
"rushes" than eat, and the most
rabid viewer Of himself is Jack
Oakie.
Mae West never permits a scene
to be used in a picture without
her final approval, which means
that she must see every inch Of
the thousands of feet Of film
shown in her completed pictures.

ther Peggy Fears, actress, nor

things about in the house where
dark-eyed EGStelle Taylor honey
mooned with Jack Dempsey few
brief years ago, if the spirited
EStelle can help it.
OF course, Estelle and Jack are
divorced, anG Jack is married to
another girl, but Estelle was his
new, beautiful bride in that stately
house at 5214 Los Feliz Boulevard.
And Estelle went into the superior
court and sued Miss Fears and
Rathbone for evacuation OF the
premises and $1,275 damages.
She maintained, in a plain
spoken complaint, that she had
rented the house to Miss Fears
on the latter's agreement that she
would not Sublet it or make any
changes in its interior.
