LA (By United Press) 'New. York, Dec. 22— The season’s ost unusual theatrical .offering” ums up in‘a few' words the concen- sis ‘of opinion regarding: ‘tization of Daisy: ““The Young' Visitor, t will be remembered,. is.vouched. for by J:' M. Barrie as having been writ- ten by 'the authoress at the tender age of nine. There has always been “doubt in many minds, in spite of all affidavits to the contrary, that “The Young '+ isiters” was the work of ‘a nine-year-old miss and, after viewing the ' dramatized form the humor seems even .more sophisticated. ‘But ‘there can .be no denying: that the “/play provides the most mirth-provok- ing satire that the public has been privileged to witness ' for moons. 3y : Mr. Salteena’s pursuit of “gentil- ity”; his' chat with the. (then) Prince of Wales (who smokes cigars and eats his ice cream in the most democratic fashion imaginable); to- gether with other innumerable laugh- able situations, contribute to make this quaint story of “High Life in| “th¢ “Eighties” more amusing (if such Dbe possible) than an evening with Weber & Fields or Ray Hitch-| cock. The play is burlesque pure and simple. The spirit is maintain-; ed religiously thruout. The unique settings are just' what Daisy must| have imagined them in her nine-year | mind's eye. The cast is exceptional- 1y well-balanced. Standing out most prominetnly are the characterizations of Leslie Palmer as tho Prince of | ‘Wales; Herbert Yost as Mr. Salteena,| and Harold Anstruther as his rival in | love. Miss Marle Goff as the object | of the two latter gents’ affections, doesn’t (to steal an expression of one | of the characters) get the - ‘‘idler.””| She seems not to realize that. bur-| lesque, more so than any diher form of theatricals, must be played with extreme seriousness, If the first weeks' run is any eri- terion, “The Young-Visitors” is*here| on ‘an cxtended visit, and playgders | in cities fortunate enough.to be in- cluded in the road. itinerary have a treat. in store. Paul Dickey and Charles Goddard, in collaboration, have contributed a fair snare to America’s dramatic lit- erature, but - their: latest venture, “The Broken Wing,” while amusing and thrilling in turn, disappoints. A | hetrogeneous mixture of comedy and melodrama, with a pinch of satire on the ‘Mexican situation, built of ob- viously hackneyed material, it un- doubtedly will prove popular enough to warrant a fair metropolitan run. Road possibilities, at the present time, are dubious. Dealing with stock characters—an American hero (this time an avi- ator), a Mexican heroine with a| longing for a ‘“‘gringo” hubby, a Mex “ bad man and divers officials of the| “army” south of the border, the piece is worked out in ' ingenious tashion. . A spectacular 'plane wreck drop3 the heroine’s long looked for Prince Charming at her leet, where- upon she develops love at f. s, he * succumbs to aphasia, and the villain plots and plots. However, nothing can daunt heroes plus the wickey- Goddard combination. Virtue ' tri- umphs over wickedness and the flag waves to Sousa's favorite march. Acting honors ga to Alphonse Etnier as the bad man (who turns out to’'be but half bad, after all), and to Inez Plummer as the heroine. The latter unfortunately, finds herself in | a role requiring an actress of much tainments, though, all in all, = n a most exacting part, is ble. The ‘balance of the cast iy adejuate to bring things to a happy conclusion.

Lynch won the right to a bid for the “ehiamapionship ‘of ‘the'little fel- low by knockiug out Jack: Sharkey, the conquerer: of Jimmy: Wilde, in the fifteenth round of a sensational fight here December 2. By the boxing skill and the punch shown 'in that bout, Lynch is the fav- orite to beat the titleholder. 3 Both are to weigh 118 pounds at 2 o’clock this afternoon. A crowd of over 10,000 is expect- ed to see the battle and it is safe to asseft that 99 per cent of the as- mbly will be raising a vocal din for Lynch, as he is the idol of the town and Herman never has been a popular champion in ‘the east. Herman, 24, a_native of New Or- leans, has been boxing for eight| years, = He won' the bantamweight title from Kid Williams - fn’ 1917.

Lynch is 23 years of age and was born in New York. He started his ring career in 1916 in a no-decision contest with Johnny Ertle. He lost two: decision ‘bouts to Jimmy Wilde, | world’s flyweight champion, staying with him fifteen rounds in their last meeting last'year.

He 'lives with his father, a ‘brother and two sisters on the weat side. His father is engaged in trucking busi- ness and when Joe is not training for a fight he can generally be found at the wheel of one of the elder Lynch's trucks. His father and his brothers always attend his fights, but he doesn’t like to have ..s sisters arounu. “It was a long time before I'd let Dad and the kid around the ring” he said. “I was afraid they would want to take a hand if things went MINOT ROUNDHOUSE TO BE MOVED TO OUTSKIRTS (By United Press) Minot.
