Pat O'Brien is ;cut, as the “pork-and-beaner,” with | Miss Farrell as his wife and man- |ager, and Miss Dodd as the social | patron of the ring who is looking | | for diversion and an atavistic thrill.| The picture is said to be filled | |with fast action in addition to its| | romance, several fistic battles tak-| |ing place with real champion bat-| | tlets pitted against O'Brien, not-| jably “Mushy” Callahan and Mar- | | vin Scheher. Tt is set in the color- {ful atmosphere of boxing empor- |iums and gymnasiums with two of the fights taking place in Jim Jef-| | fries barn, famous in North Holly-| |wood as a boxing emporium. The, | former world’s heavyweight cham- | pion and many lesser lights of the| squared circle will be seen in the picture as extras. There is a strong supporting cast | which ingludes such notable plny—; lers of the stage and screen as | Henry O'Neill, Robert Gleckler,| Thomas Jackson, Arthur Vinton,| George Pat Collins, George Cooper, | Clay Clement, Clarence Muse and {Pudgie White.

Others appearing were P. M. Sorenson of the Hirst-Chichagof, | James Freeburn of the Chichagof | mine, and Al Nygren of the Miners Union. Sorenson said his mine now em- ployed betweon 40 and 42 men and was still in the development stage, actually showing a loss the last year. It would be impossible for the mine to put on any more men or to continue operating at all if costs rose, he sald, the conditions FREE Tickets to the Uptown ’ Theatre given to persons whose names appear in the Want Ads.
