After six one-week stands the management threw a wet towel into the footlights. They claimed Jack might knock ‘am stiff in the ring, but not In the playhouse. The referee once counted ten at Toledo and declared Jack a champion fighter. But the box office man would count ten in the theatre and deciare Jack a champion fiivver. And eight of the ten were on passes at that. Caan Tain} ‘The management figured Jack would do a monologue and the audience would do the fighting to get in, They were wrong. A Mon- day night audience would consist of eighteen ushers and the piano player, for a total of nineteen. ‘The audience was smaller at Detroit, where the house hat an automatic piano player. The Saturday night crowd was always larger, because the Sheriffs woul come around on that night. . Jack's tour with the show was the toughest row 4d, He made « weak stand in every olty. -You can't put a hard- boiled fighter into a hard-boiled shirt and make a genteel actor out of him, The only part of a dress suit outfit that fooked at all naturat on Jack were the gloves—the six-ounce kind. The trouble with Dempsey’s show was that there wasn't enough punch to it. The only guy that did any punching was the ticket talker at the door, and they didn't keep him very busy. Jack was full of talk, but that wasn’t what the people wanted. When the people want talk they go to Bryan's road show. work he ever . .

He has ordered two cases of Nix-ain’t-It Iron and a series of half-page advertisements to start off his training.
