Miss Williams is cast as Maria Morales, twin sister of Mario, play- | ed by the Mexican film idol, Ricar-| do Montalban.

Flashing for 15 seconds all the savagery that brought him 52 knockouts in 61 fights, Louis stretched out Jersey Joe Walcott on the hot canvas of Yankee Stadium in the eleventh round last night His revenge secured, his pride soothed, he said he was quit- ting. This created confusion as great as when Gene Tunney re- ‘llred undefeated in 1928. Walcott himself, Gus Lesnevich and Ezzard Charles crowded up as claimants, Sol Strauss, acting head of the Twentieth Century Sporting Club, said he would put on a series of fights to determine the successor. Against Louis, Walcott side- stepped and danced through 10 rounds just as successfully as he did last December when Louls managed to win a disputed, split 15-round decision. ‘Then Jersey Joe made the mis- take in the eleventh of trying to mix it at the ropes. He had been told not to it. The champion’s crunching blows flashed out as of old, right and left, against Wal- cott's head and body. Walcott went down flat, strug- gled up to his knees, almost rose at nine, fell again, and was up soon after the count of ten. But it was over, with only four seconds more to go in the round. “For my mother—this is for her —tonight is my ldst fight,” said Louis. Lateér he said he would en- ter politics. “I'll be active in this year's Presiderjtial campaign,” he de- ;| clared, adding that he would an- nounce next week whom he would support. Louis went out at 34 years of age as one of the greatest of cham- pigns. He held the title longer than anyone else—11 years and He defended it more often—25 times. He earned more money in the ring—$3,365,000. That does not even count movie, radio . | and television rights.

IDA LUPINO IS STARRED IN BILL AT 20TH CENTURY Warner Bros.' “The Man I Love,” a modern screen drama with a pace pitched to the restless post-war years, opens at the 20th Century| Theatre tonight for a run of three! days. Starring Ida Lupino, Robert Alda, Andrea King and Bruce Bennett, the film's absorbing story revolves about a nightclub singer, Petey Brown (Ida Lupino) who returns to rer family on the West Coast after| being separated from them for se eral years. Her sister Sally, (Andrea King) |is married to Roy Otis (John Ridge- [1y) who is in an Army hospital with battle fatigue. Sally is the annoyed recipient of the unwelcome advan- ces of Nicky Toresca (Robert Alda), a smalltime racketeer and night club owner, who employs her brother, Joe (Warren Douglas), as his legman. When Nicky meets Pe- tey, he is intrigued. When he hears; her sing, he offers her a job and =he soon becomes the club's mnin| attraction In this focal spot, Petey is soon able to devote her attention to the varied strands of trouble attach- ing to her small family.
