out her soul in series of epistles
which ply all around the plays cast,
set, music, wardrobe, stagehands,
scenery, etc.-and which, so far as
we have been able to observe, has
never missed anything that might be
of interest to local readers.
She has that welcome gift, too, of
knowing that any dramatic office is
likely to drop four out of five stories
either in the wastebasket or in the
overlooked" department-andi in that
case HES to the typewriter some more
but so far as has been known has
never cussed anybody out for his or
her omissions.
Catherine Prichard, small dynamic
lady usually dressed in blue, arrives
in person" at the Office around 8::2l
to tell about the popular Roadside
Players and she and one or two less
steady customers complete the list of
theater news missionaries.
WHEN therefore the customary calm
of these brown and white and
other colored envelopes was inter-
rupted yesterday by something large,
yellow and also crumbly at least one
dramatic office was observed to quake.
Such a change in the flow of press
agentry had not been observed in
years. Even the gentleman who
brought it in seemed little embar-
raised. Nevertheless, there it was
and here it is-a bread-new event
among local theater press depart
ments-a challenge to Messrs. La
Falce, Terrell. B. D. S. and C. P.
For suddenly Lou Brown and the
Loew forces have concocted a sheet of
paper upon which they print their
daily news which is so novel, bright
and yellow that fellow dramatic re-
viewers cannot possibly help but look
at it. Ducked in a new kind of
canary color process, it says at the top
FLASH from Loew's Palace"-and
what is even more important on the
left hand side an announcement as
big as your fist saying: Blessed
Events! Each week during August
and September at Loew'S" Then in
a somewhat smaller hand but still
large enough to put your eye out:
Blessed event No. /: China Seas
with Clark Gable, Wallace Berry,
Jean Harlow and Lewis Stone, Rosa
ling Russell. C. Aubrey Smith. Robert
Benchley and others. A picture that
has everything"
Such a deviation from the usual
path of press agentry is so novel
strange and whatnot that this de-
partment has not as yet recovered
from the shock. No hint of it came
beforehand. Mr.. Brown didn't say:
Dear Mr.. So-and-So, we are going to
knock your eye out with some new
yellow paper on which we are going 10
announce as many blessed events at
Loew Theaters as we can during Au-
gust and September"
He didn't say that-in fact he didn't
say anything. What is more we have
a sneaking suspicion that this blessed
event" idea came straight from the
brain of Carter Barron who for some
weeks now has been trying to find a
slogan that would be different, bright
and entertaining.
Who ever thought of it has, at any
rate. awakened many a dreamy dra-
matte raconteur. You can't look at
the paper without blinkirg-or think
ing. And, if China Seas" is to be a
blessed event. what in heavens name
will be CARLOS next picture?

One of the many fine points of
bowling is the good fellowship
promoted. 1t illustrates the worth
of all natural and legitimate life
interest, the necessity and value
of cooperation and the fellowship
in competition. The wholesome
ness and moral attributes of bowl
ing as a game needs greater en-
phasiS.
Bowling Is a splendid physical
recreation. Appendicitis never
hits bowlers" and try bowling for
your stomach fag" are health
messages which are being carried
to all parts of the country.
Good Exercise
It is a scientific fact that
bowling is one of the best ex-
ercises known, as
zone hour of botDlipg,
The easy plan.
To make IT, tDorld,
A healthy man"
is a saying to follow the senti-
mentS of which will actually put
one on the road to Wellville.
Bowling develops the ches t.
makes firmer the lung expansion,
reduces superfluous flesh, prac-
tices the eye, clears the com.
plexion, exercises the muscles,
especially the forearm, increases
and gives a free grace of move
ment. A good bowler has fine
poise and a swift adjustment and
splendid control Of the body.
Bowling is the only exercise which
cannot be overdone.
In many of the other sports.
players are often injured by their
opponents or play until they drop
from the strain and thereby so
overexert themselves as to largely
lose the benefits Of the exercise.
Give Players Rest
Not so in bowling. The time
required to set up pins gives the
players the required rest period.
1t is a mild exercise which tones
up practically every muscle in
the body, without, as already
stated, overtaxing any. It in
creases tNe circulation of the
blood, acting as a tonic without
any deteriorating effects.
No special clothing or uniforms
are required to enjoy the game.
The bowler has only to enter the
alleys and start the game. 1t does
not require daylight. good weather
or certain season Of the year,
but one can bowl day or night,
summer or winter, and the worse
the weather outside the more one
enjoys the game.
If you have never bowled, drop
into your nearest alley and try a
game. After that you will be a
regular member of the large bowl
ing fraternity.

Topped Ring
Season

Boxing this year was marked by
the sensational performances OF
Joe Louis, Detroit's dusky de-
stroyer, the installation of several
new world champions and the
first million-dollar gate since the
days of Tunney and Dempsey.
Needless to say. it was Joe Louis
who was the cause Of the million
dollar attraction. promoted by
Mike Jacobs, of the goth Century
Club, who moved to the top rating
as a fight promoter.
Louis string Of fast knockouts
put new life in the boxing game.
He proved again that the ring
fans will always turn out to see
the lad with a wallop and Joe has
the wallop. He disposed Of Primo
Camera in short order and made
a chopping block Of Max Baer
before dumping him in the resin.
Braddock Second
Second only to Louis was the
work OF James j. Braddock who
came back off the bread lines to
lift the heavyweight title from
Max Baer. This feat was all the
more remarkable in view Of the
fact that Jim was considered all
washed up as a ight-heavyweight
several years ago.
Nothing was expected of Car
nera. but Baer was expected to
put up a decent battle in defense
of his crown. He was hopeless
against Braddock and he was pitt
full against Louis.
Several new heavyweightS came
into prominence and this crop is
counted on to produce some real
contenderS for titular honorS next
year.
Bob Olin made a game fight in
losing his light heavyweight
throne to John Henry Lewis and
Babe Risko, a greatly improved
fighter, had little trouble in lift
ing the American middleweight
title from LED YaroSZ.

as usual never hesitated to meet

The featherweight title is in dis
pute but there is no doubt in the
minds of boxing fans that Freddy
Miller is the best man of his
weight in the world. He did most
of his campaigning in Europe
this year.
Sixto Escobar, great little Porto
Rican, dropped his bantamweight
title to Lou Salica on a disputed
decision and then regained it in
a fight that left no room fol
doubt as to which is the better
man.
