The idyllic romance of Laddie and the Princess, together with the de. lightful episode of Shelley angd Paget, aare carried out in the full spirit of the bobk, and to a splen- did conclusion. With John Bowers and Bess Flowers in the leading roles, and supported by a cast that includes such names_as David Torrence, Arthur, Clayton, Eugenia Gilbert, Fanny Midgley, Neil Neely, John Fox, Jr., and little Gene Stratton, the acting is superbly done, and Director Meehan has handled the characterization with admirable skill, o THRILLING FEATURE AT PALACE 8ATURDAV| Flght years of university study and several years as a collezg professor form the background for the scenarist of “Blarney,” the classic prizefight picture of Amer- ca—Albert Lewin, who adapted Donn Byrne's famous novel of Fistiana, “In Praise of James Carabine,” to the gcreen. This new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pict is-~at the Palace Saturday night and Sunday matinee, with Ralph Graves and Renee Adoree in the leading roles. Marcel De Sano has directed it.

The scenarist i3 a retiring scholar at Harvard and Columbia, and th? most-burdened with academic dis- tinction of any man in the screen industry. The cast includes, in addition to.Graves and Miss Adoree, Paul- ette Duval, Malcolm Waite and Margaret Seddon.

B. A. will help him sign the contenders, Mullen offered to pro- mote the show himself, giving each . boxer 10 per cent of the gate receipts, which he figured, would run about $50,000. Challengers Won't Draw “If the N. B, A. is serious about its six contenders for the light- weight and middleweizht, titles,” said Mullen, “let's have an elim- ination series to see which one is the best, and then the public might get interested.’ Some of the challengers named by the N. B. A. wouldn’'t draw enough to pay the uzhesrs. “I have both Mandell and Waik- er signed to defend their titles if the N. B. A. will contribuie some help instead of-merely in- terfering.” Mullen’s predicament threatens to prevent the match between Mandell and Jackie Fields here Thursday night. The N. B. A, in- sists upon Mandell's §5,000 forfeit before permitting the contest to g0 on. Mandell's prospective op- ponent mnext June in the title match is Jimmy McLarnin, but McLarnin encounters Sid Terris on Friday night, and until Me- Larnin. has proved himself master of. Terris,, Mullen hesitates to sign either one. One day's dif- + | ference in the dates complicates the situation. Kane to Get Busy Mandell's manager, Eddie Kane, promised to call on the Illinoig State Athletic Commission today to find out why- the $5,000 for- feit was demanded. “Mandell has signed to defend his title the N. B. A. asked,” said Kane. “What more could be demanded?” ——————————— 1 0. 0. F. ATTENTION Ail 0dd Fellows are requested to :be present tomorrow, Thurs- day evening, at 7:30.
