He can lick his weight in} wildcats and his height in twin-buzz saws. No wonder! Joe Martin's sparring partner is | James J. Corbett, veteran of the} squared ring, who is filming ‘The Midnight Man,” a serial, at Univer- | sal City. | When “Gentleman Jim” heard that the orang-outang was a battler, | he seemed rather amused. “Boxing is a science,” he said, “and the brute strength of Joe won't carry him far as a fighter.” He tried | a bout with Joe, and for once the ring champion was wrong. | A lack of stature somewhat handi caps Joe, but if the Marquis of | Queensbury rules against hitting be- low the belt are overlooked, he is sure a coming champ. He has a long reach, a terrific right, a chop- | | ping left and a nice eye for the an | gle of the jaw. When Corbett fights from his knees to equalize the difference in their height, Joe can just about sing the former champion to sleep with the zylophone tap to the jaw. He enlists and goes to a cantonment, but that is as far as he gets. There he puts on a weird and wonderful magic exhibition and pulls off a thrilling rescue of a girl from a madhouse. Doris Lee is the pretty girl.
