CARLEN GIVES VIEWS
Someone asked:
"How about the tempera-

Mr.. Carlen stepped in:

of all his face. He wiped care

Then Pete picked up a rope
that bespoke service and started
skipping. And could he skip

forward. He twirled that rope
into loops and sWirls without a
pause in his skipping.
Skips On One Leg
Then he skipped on one leg as
he swung the other. Then he
danced half way across the room
still skipping. And as he skipped
he told me he could lose two and
half pounds that way. He said
he'd skip one round and rest one
minute and then skip another
round. Altogether he would skip
three rounds. I was ashamed Of
my abyssmal ignorance and didn't
ask him how long a round was or
what it was. I just let him think
I knew all about rounds.
Bobby Goldstein, brother of
Goldie Ahearn, who promoted the

admiration. He said:

so cents from my niece in a
rope skipping contest? Honest!
She bet me she could skip rope

Turning back to the ring I saw
that Kick was changing sparring
partners. His manager said he
had taken on only two that day.
Some days he uses three.
The trainer-I'm sorry, but I've
forgotten his name-was smearing
something from a small jar on
the boxers face. I asked him
what it was. Carlen said:

During the smearing process
Klick, his gloved hands on the
ropes, was moving his feet ur
and down. Mr.. Carlen explained
that it eased the legs.

woman had invaded their sanctu-

the masculine eye when a female
appears was noticeably lacking
Evidently women are not welcome
around training quarters.
Meets Ray Carlen
I was introduced to Ray Carlen,
a slender, dark-eyed man who
courteously offered me his seat
on the bench nearest the ring.
explained I was to write story
on the prize ring from an anna,
tours viewpoint.
Mr.. Carlen answered all my
questions, looking trifle dazed
and disguised at my woeful ig'
norance of the manly art OF box
ing. At times he appeared to have
trouble controlling his features
and his feelings. But he was very
polite about it all.
To a woman who has seen only
one prize fight-and was revolted
over it's stark brutality-its sheer
primitiveness-the fighters, with
their heavy leather head pieces
and rubber mouth protectors, look
more like men of the stone age
than of this civilized world.
introduced into this country 16
years ago by Ted kid" Lewis,
English boxing champion, the
mouthpiece forces the lips apart,
giving the wearer a perpetual,
stupid grin. Combined with the
serious, intent expression in the
boxers eyes, the effect is gro
teSque-uncanny.
Another curious thing to the
unprofessional eye is the way the
fighters keep dancing around on
their toes. Their lightneSs would
make a dancer green with envy
but it seems so silly to be hopping
around when you can save your
strength by standing still. And to
watch a fighter shadow box all
by himself in the ring-jabbing,
ducking and blowing heavily
through his nose at nothing in
particular is oldest of all. At the
first impartial glance the man
seems to be headed straight for
the BOBBY hatch.
The room was comparatively
quiet. You could hear the heavy
breathing of the fighters and the
steady humping as they landed
what I've since been told are body
punches. To me they appeared to
be slamming each other as hard
as they could without rhyme or
reason just as long as they hit
something or somebody.
Not Used to Climate
Their bodies glistened with
sweat and as each blow landed
the blood leaped to the surface
Even an amateur could appreciate
such marvellous circulation.

protege explained:

climate yet. But he's coming
around fine"

seems, are upset by a change in
climate.

There were fewer stars, but the PIC

The only picture which seems to
weather all seas in picking the
best is "Mutiny on the Bounty

peak picture of 1885.

year. 1t was splendidly produced,
and had an atmosphere more con-

captured the Dickens spirit even
better than its predecessors.
Les Miserables,' the Vic5or

contribution of film history, mainly
because of Mr.. Laughton.
