Sure Enough Enemies.

THERE is much logic back of that
reasoning. Marty and Bob hate
each other with passion that has
not diminished over a period Of three
years. Both are extremely popular,
yet both are rated as Swell-headed
punks by opposing camps.
Their feud started at the old Twin
City Arena in Laurel, Md, where Tow
flattened the favored Gallagher for
a nine count prior to handing Marty
one of the most severe lacings of his
clouttng career. The big Irishman
discounts that loss, declaring he was
not In proper condition.
Marty vindicated his followers in
a return bout, when he sent the tow
ering Tow crashing to the canvass for
the full count in the fourth round.
Tow claims Gallagher's chilling blow
was illegal, landing back of the neck.
Tow Has Kept Busy.
GALLAGHER has not fought since
trimming King Levinsky last
September, while Tow apparently has
found new punch in his recent ring
ramblings. winning five of his last
seven starts by knockouts.
A sensation in a Chicago heavy
weight elimination tournament dur
ing the Winter, Bobby floored Frank
Wotanski, Tom Beaupre and Dick
Thuerer and won decisions over Ed
die Slake and Lou lie Page. Since that
time he has knocked out Lou Janik
and Salvatore Ruggirello.
Despite his lengthy lay-off Marty
has scaled down to 209 pounds and
is confident of terminating the scrap
before the scheduled Is rounds
elapse. Although he comedies Gal
lagher pounds, the Alexandria bus
driver boasts a 2-inch advantage in
reach and Is four years younger than
the 27-year-old riding academy
master.

Of Alexandria, also a scholarly chap,

with excellent voices. Miss French
with high, light soprano of pleas
ing quality, and she sang each num-
ber with understanding and consid-
cradle care Her high tones are not
free enough to permit the listener a
comfortable feeling as to the sureness

was a trying one, including the aria
"Baccarelle" from Leoncavallo's II

one Of French and one of English,
and she showed no fatigue at its con-
cluSion.
Mr.. Ewing, who has studied only
one Winter, has a voice of much rich
ness and good range. His numbers
included the aria, Honor and Arms, -
from Handels Samson" for which
he was confined to the printed music,
and a group of German songs which
he sang in English.
Dorothy Andrews played the ac-
compartments, trying task, and
showed skill as a pianist, although
she frequently let the accompaniment
be too prominent. K. B.

themselves gazing upon snail-paced'
film, distinguished chiefly by clever
photography and slightly disjointed
realism. ECSTASY" at one time won
first prize at an international film ex-
position in Europe, but fans attuned
to Hollywood pace and technique will
be forced to the conclusion that the
judges had never seen even Wheeler
and Woolsey comedy produced in this
country.
Whatever real virtue lies in the pic
ture is embraced principally in its
originality its fresh and daring treat
ment of themes that have been stereo-
typed in the factory-made product Of
America and England. Its appeal to
the public seems to rest elsewhere, in
the frank revelation of things SO
broadly hinted in our native celluloid.
Whether this direct approach merits
all the fuss it has aroused remains
very open question. Maybe the answer
lies in the box-office reports, and the
moguls of the West Coast should take
heed.
Those who have feared they might
be shortchanged by draStically CEN
sored version of the original may for
get it here and now. Only one or two
minor alterations have been made,
and considering what remains, they
are more funny than moralistic. The
heroine still scampers about sans
clothing during one sequence. and
there Is no nistaking her emotional
status at any point in the story. If
these facts are enough to cause a
stampede. the Corcoran Art Gallery
should be guarded by the local riot
squad all the year around.
Aside from other considerations,
ECSTASY" is worth some attention as
sample of shrewd symbolic photog-
raphy, intelligent use of the camera in
ensnaring the fleeting moods of hu-
man expression, and histrionics at
their simplest common denominator
None of the subjects who face the lens

ican dramatic scene. and it is unlikely
that they will be. The names, there

Dance Attraction.

VIC PLANT and Billy Foster have
returned to the Gayety this week
with one of their usually good shows.
This one is called Legs and Laugh
ter" and is full Of both.
Quite naturally Vic himself takes
most Of the spotlight but he is ably
assisted by Chick Hunter and Murray
Gordon. as we'll as Billy Foster. Most
of the scenes have not been presented
too recently, and they are all done in
the inimitable Plant manner, which
makes them funny in any case.
AS special attraction it was an
nounced that Mile. Vernee had been
brought over straight from France.
While it might be quite easily guessed
that Mile. Vernee was never any
nearer France than the New York
water front, she does put on an act
that is most unusual. Her dances not
only rival Salley Rand in naughtiness.
but are also made more effective by
the costuming and lighting, which
makes the routine stand out in con-
trast to the usual dancing.
Assisting her are Gloria Gale, Dolly
Dawson and Nellie Casson, each doing
her bit to add to the fun and laughter.
