Charles Gets
Big Offer To
Fight In Reno

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 20
(ANP) = Heavyweight Champion
Ezzard Charles has been offered
100000 to fight in Reno, New,
on Decoration Day in 1851.
This offer came to him this
week following his one-sided 18th
round knockout of Nick Barone in
his fifth defense of his title.
Promoter of the proposed bout
would be Babe Mccoy of Califor-
MIA. The champions opponent
would be the winner of the Willy
Bean-Clarence Henry fight, to be
held in Los Angeles Dec. 10.
Mccoy told Charles co-manager
Jake Mintz, that he would fly
east to discuss terms with him
after the Bean-Henry fight.
Charles earned this offer
through his sensational 18th round
kayo of Barone after a compare
lively dull battle of infighting
Charles outfought his opponent
both at long range and at the in
fighting, for which Barone is
noted
In the 18th round Charles stag
gered Barone with a hard left
then peppered him with a two
listed attack. Then came the
knockout blow. This marked the
first time in Baroness fistic pro-
career that he had ever been
floored. Of Charles, he said: i
eyes, I'd like to fight Charles
again when | grow two inches

ness and is going to be champion
a long time.
"He's very deceiving He makes
you believe he is going to ease
up and then suddenly comes back
strong and hits you by surprise
A crowd of 10,0S5 fans paid
/ $53,334 to see the fight. Charles
received 421a per cent of the gate
and Barone, 1712 per cent.

Of impoverished Manchesterites.
They have done lot of brooding
upon social injustice, beginning
with a grandfather who saw his
sweetheart cut down by a dra-
goon's sword in the bread march
of 1919. The boy, Hamer Redshaw
is brought up on this story. It
constitutes q sort of preface to
his own life of tenement boyhood
in the 1870s. It inspires him not
only to political liberalism but to
educate himself and lead his class
to a less bitter place in the
economic scheme.
There is a dire need for such
leader which means that the job
is wide open for young man of
Hamer's gifts of intensity, elo-
quence. and conviction of right
ness.
His first campaign, in which he
takes the platform for a union
organizer who is his best friend,
results in defeat. He Is destined
never again to be beaten for pub
lie Office until in the first Labor
Cabinet under Ramsay MacDon-
aid, he becomes a Minister.
The successful Hamer Radshaw
is not the man he was in failure.
Power begins at once its slow, in
exorable corruption. This is not
apparent to the rank and file of
his followers. At first it is visible
only to his wife, played by Miss
John. the wealthy girl whose cru
sading spirit makes her the per-
feet mate for the climbing liberal
politician.
It Is she who knows that Ha-
mer'S liberal faith is quickly lost
in his oratorical eloquence. She
wants to tell him that he has be-
come so obsessed with his power
over the masses that he has for
gotten the convictions which won
their loyalty. It is her personal
tragedy and his, and the deeper
tragedy of Hamer's followers,
that her love is too tender and his
eyes too blind for the revelation
of truth before it is too late.
His lust for power for it's own
sake brings betrayal after be-
trayal into their lives, separates
them, subjects them to desperate
humiliations. and finally results
in her death and their causes de-
feat. Yet the boy who once un-
derstood so much of human suf-
fering never understands the
savage irony of these experiences.

Jeeter Lester
Now Covorts On
Howard Stage
BY Harry Macarthur

There is not much left to be said
about Tobacco Road" at this late
date. 1t ran for statisticians-
know-how-many performances on
Broadway and it kept turning up
here in town through the '30s,
each succeeding cast turning a
little more toward broad comedy
and away from the original theme
of the book by Erskine Caldwell
which Jack Kirkland adapted to
the stage.
Mr.. Caldwell's original Jeeter
Lester was a comic figure. but
underneath the. ludicrous shell a
tragic figure. too, man of the
soil broken by life simply because
his roots were too deep in a sol
which betrayed him. Any serious
thought Tobacco Road" had
however, kept giving way to- and
finally was overwhelmed by the
earthly comedy of the amoral life
of the Testers.
That is the way it is with
the newest version of Tobacco
Road" the Negro Drama Groups
production, which Mr.. kirkland
now is presenting at the Howard
Theater in what is described as &
"pre- e-Broadway premiere. The

HOLLY WOOD.
For an elaborate banquet scene
Montgomery Cliff and Elizabeth
Taylor sat at table with 16 other
actors, quaffing an exotic, flaming
beverage ladled up for them by
Chinese boys from a huge copper
cauldron on wheels.
The actors slipped this heady
grog with gusto. But they were
acting. for all they were worth.
The stuff actually tasted like coal
oil.
Property men explained to the
complaining stars that real brandy
wouldn't work because it's light
blue flame failed to photograph
well under bright lights. The
prop men had to use what they
call flame ola mixture of
mineral and other oils which
burns with a steady, smokeless
flame. They stirred the flame oil
into warmed-up coffee, which,
decreed Miss Taylor, made it even
worse.
