RING LARDNER SHOW |plEASES AUDIENCE
 SUNDAY AT CAPITOL

The much -talked-about film adaptation of Ring Lardners classic short story, Champion" arrived on the screen of the Capitol Theatre Sunday with Kirk Douglas giving magnificent performance in the title role. Co-starring with Doug las are Marilyn Maxwell and Arthur Kennedy, with Ruth Roman, Lola Albright and Paul Stewart sharing featured honors.
 In the past many producers have toyed with the idea of filming the story of Midge Kelly. handsome, utterly ruthless contender for fight honors, who climbed to fame leaving a trail behind strewn With the bruised men and women who had aided him.
 A humorist of the sardonic school, Ring Lardner knew his fight char acters better perhaps than any writer of his time, and few changes have been made in his original story. We first meet Midge Kelly (Kirk Douglas) with his crippled brother Connie (Arthur Kennedy) on their way by boxcar to Los An geles where Midge expects to take over an interest he has purchased from a friend in roadside eateriy. Sidetracked at Kansas City, Midge engages in a professional fight for small sum. Hopelessly out-fought, Midge nevertheless captures the in- terest of Tommy Haley (Paul Stew art) a fight manager who offers to train him. He also meets big league fighter, Johnny Dunne John Day) and his flashy blonde girl friend. Grace Diamond (Marllyn MaxwelD.
 Midge finally becomes world champion.
 He then throws Grace over for Palmer Harris Uola AlbighD, the socialite wife of Jerome Harris CLuls Van Rooten), famous fight pro- moter. with whom he has signed contract, cancelling out all ms former obligations to Tommy Haley. He also breaks with Connie.
 At the end, in a climax that IS more exciting than any ever be- fore filmed, Midge is still unde- feated champion of the world-pay- ing a price for it so staggeringly high that audiences yesterday left the theatre emotionally exhausted from the intensity and realism of the story they had just seen come to life on the screen.
 Champion" will be shown at the Capitol tonight and Tuesday.

TRAFFIC 0BSTRU(TS FIRE
 MEN, SUNDAY ALARM; CHIEF HULk'S WARNING

Volunteer firemen answering a fire alarm yesterday afternoon to 4671a South Franklin were blocked and delayed by unnecessary traffic, Police Chief Bernard Hulk said to- day.
 City ordinance provides that the sound of the sirens is the signal for regular auto traffic to stop and pull aside in order that firemen may get through to the scene of the fire with the least possible delay. We don't have to do it, but may be forced to arrest persons obstructing traffic in cases like this," he warned. Another thing, children on bicycles should also get out of the way. They not only endanger themselves but are a hazard to firemen enroute to fire"
 The fire Sunday at $40 pm. was an overloaded stove in the rooms of D. Swan and caused no damage, firemen reported.

gambling of any description, while
others have specifically assailed
certain types of gambling.
The Atlanta Christian Council

took issue with gambling during
the past year included the United

In New Jersey, several church

Capital Transit Opposes
Route Asked by WIN. & A

The Capital Transit Co. is pro-
testing the granting of a pending
application by the w. M. & A.
Motor Lines. Inc, for designation
of a route between downtown
Washington and the District line
via the South Capitol street
bridge.
In a letter to the Public Util-
ities Commission, E. D. Merrill,
president of the transit company,
declared:
THE proposed w. M. & A. line
would enable that company to di-
vert traffic presently using the
Capital Transit lines to and from
the existing transfer point near
Atlantic and South Capitol streets
Sc"
The letter said granting of the
application was protested on the
ground it would be unlawful with
out a certification under the
Merger Act, and the company
would object to the granting of
such a certificate.
