worlds heavyweight champion, and
Max Schmcling, his lone nemesis,

schmeling got In from Germany
earlier in the week with the an~
nouncement that he felt better than
ever, was at his best as a boxer, and
having whipped Louis before, in--
tended to return to Hitlerland with
the title,
But Louis has other ideas. He
laughed at the suppositlon he was
afraid Of Schmehng because Of the
previous defeat and said his big
mistake in that fight lay in carrying
his left hand too low. He went on
record as saying the match wouldn't

The champion, who incidentally
celebrated his Gath birthday, Friday,
is interested in only one thing: re-

"schmeling is IN for 4 good slam

the romance between the ire
sistible Shelley and Mary Woll-
stonecraft Goodwin who also won
fame as the author of "Franken-

story is presented as moving and
effective drama. The sparkle of
youthful comedy is in the play,
as well as the tingle Of provoca-
tive thought evoked by brilliant
dialogue and amusing situations.
A cast has been assembled,
headed by Charles Waldron, who

KELLEYGRAMS

Smart-aleck he just escapes be-
ing expelled from the famous
institute of learning before he
has demonstrated what a great
athlete he is.
1t is just a coincidence that
next weeks new play at the
National Theater is about a bril-
liant youth, who was expelled
from University College. Oxford.
The student was Percy Bysshe
Shelley, famous poet, around
whom the drama, Il Am My
Youth" is written.
Shelley startled his professors
and the student body in 1911 by
sending them all a pamphlet,
THE Necessity of Atheism" It
was presumed to be by an anony-
nous author, but the deans had
no difficulty in pinning the
writing on the erratic poet.
Summarily bounced from col
lege, Shelley the same year mar
ried Harriet WeStbrook, from
whom he was separated after
three years of unhappiness. He
adopted the philosophical ideas
of William Goodwin, and in 1913
published Queen Nab" a philo-
sophical poem accompanied by
compendious notes. allegor-
ically discussing the emancipa.
ton Of mankind through revolu-
tionary reason.
am told by Phyllis Perlman,
tub thumper for Il Am My
Youth" that the play deals
with the romance in Shelley's
life.
The poet had a notorious af.
fair with Godwin'S daughter,
Mary, and one illegitimate child,
before he married her after
his wife's suicide in 1916. He
was denied the custody of his
children by the courts, because
Of his atheism.
Shelley went to Rome. where
he turned out much of his bril-
liant writing, before he was
drowned by the capsizing Of his
pleasure boat, on July 8, 1891.
Further information from
Phyllis Perlman, after seeing a
run through" performance last
Sunday night in New York-iS
that Il Am My Youth" seems
destined to be one of the real
distinguished plays Of the sea-
son, with Linda Watkins and

cipal roles.
