PAGE FOUR UNITED TREATRE 306 East Center TO - NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY LOIS WEBER'S Tremendous Production "A Chapter IN Her Life" From the famous story of "JEWEL" By Clara Louise Burnham WITH A GREAT CAST One of the Sweetest Stories of Life ever told. BILLY SULLIVAN in "The Shooting Star" Current News GENE TUNNEY ON STREET TO FAME NEW YORK, July 29.—Gene Tunney today appears to be on the road to fame and large gate receipts. The former A. E. F. slugger has become a strong box office attraction and his services are being sought by leading promoters who see a chance to reap a golden harvest on the strength of Gene's popularity, now at its height as a result of his knock out of the dashing Frenchman. Tunney is in the strategic position of a man living with his wife's parents—he has his choice of a fight between three leading opponents. They are Tom Gibbons, Mike McTigue and Carpentier himself. A return match with Carpentier looks to be the best bet of the three Discussion still waxes strong over Carpentier's claim of foul in last Thursday's bout. That Georges could make a creditable showing against Tunney in a second meeting is improbable but the woods of Manhattan and surrounding communities are full of fight fans who are laboring under that delusion. Firpo and Wills are scheduled to meet on September 11 and Mickey Walker and Benny Leonard on August 21, unless the New York Boxing Commission gets desperate and locks Benny in a dark closet. Promoter Jimmy Johnston today was busy figuring the feasibility of re-matching the pair for some date between the Wills-Firpo and Walker-Leonard affair. Francois Des Campes, Carpentier's manager, was reported to be opposed to a return bout, but the Frenchman has exhibited such coyness heretofore, only to change his mind as the rattle of coin was heard in the distance. FAMOUS NOVEL ON SCREEN AT UNITED Clara Louise Burnham's celebrated novel, "Jewel," becomes a living, breathing reality at the United theatre commencing tonight, when Universal's film play, "A Chaper in Her Life," adapted from the book, will be screened. The new production introduces one of the best known players in America, Claude Gillingwater and the latest sensation in child actresses, Jane Mercer. It was adapted, scenarized and directed by Lois Weber, and has attracted wide attention as one of the outstanding bits of screen artistry of the year. The story is a lesson in happiness. It depicts the life of a little child in a home torn with family discord, and where, through her love conquers her environment and restores happiness. It is a powerful lesson and its heart interest and whimsical humor make it an entrancing play. Claude Gillingwater plays the part of the millionaire grandfather, embittered by years of hating. Little Jane Mercer, playing the title role of "Jewel," is convincing in action—for she seemed to live the part rather than act it. CHAPLAIN TALKS TO ROTARY CLUB We live in half a dozen different worlds, depending upon our temperament, town or locality. Chaplain Lawrence, who served with the Wildcats during the World War and is now filling a Los Angeles pulpit, gave an interesting address yesterday on this general topic before the local Rotary club at the weekly luncheon. The club adjourned early to enable members to attend the funeral of the late C. W. Blattner of Yorba Linda.

BY NORMAN E. BROWN A few months ago New York ring fans were somewhat amused at the spectacle of a rugged, determined little warrior climbing into the ring bedecked in a pair of bright red patent leather shoes. The other night many of these same fans saw the wearer of those oddities in ring attire plant them firmly in the centre of the ring and hammer Rocky Kansas to the floor, a beaten, broken fighter. The victory carried the red-shoes youth one step nearer a battle with Benny Leonard for the lightweight championship. The youth with the vermillion colored shoes was Luis Vincentini. Not Firpo's Type He came to the United States last fall to try his fortunes in the American ring. The success of Luis Firpo had lured him on. He carried none of the characteristics of Luís Firp, however. His shoes were the only odd thing about him. His record in Chile spoke for itself. Starting in as an amateur four years ago, he had engaged in a total of 50 battles up to his departure for New York. Thirty of his victims had failed to last the limit. Only two of them had received credit for a point victory over him. All he asked Gotham promoters was that he be given a chance. He got several of them. His first opponent was Barney Keeley. Vincentini knocked him cookoo in two rounds. Came Herb Sorenson and he lasted the same length of time. Jimmy Carroll got his in the third round. Then came the real test. Luis was matched with Johnny Shugrue. The latter got the decision but many believed that Vincentini was entitled to at least a draw. Vincentini went home then for a while. On his return he met Pal Moran and lost another debatable decision. Then came his first bout with Johnny Dundee. LA HABRA VICTIM OF CRASH DEAD Marlon Blakeman, 40, of La Habra, severely injured last week in an auto accident near Torrance when the car in which he, Floyd Elder and Ray Francis, also of La Habra, were riding turned turtle, died last night at the county hospital, where he had been removed from the Whittier hospital. Blakeman had received a broken leg and internal injuries. The body is at Seale parlors awaiting arrangements. Surviving are widow and children in La Habra, and relatives in the east. THIRD ROUND IN SINGLES TOURNEY By ROBERT KINSEY U.S. Grass Court Doubles Tennis Champion. (Written for I. N. S.) SEABRIGHT, N. J., July 29.... The third round in the men's singles was to be played this afternoon at Seabright, where the country's leading net stars are competing in the invitation tournament. William Johnston, the California star, played his first turf tennis of the year yesterday and appeared in splendid form. His first match gave him a victory over H.B. Fisher, the Williams College star. "Little Bill" went thru the first set with loss of only one game, but eased slightly in the second breaking thru for a win after games were tied at 4-all. The Californian's second match was against Craig Biddle, who has starred in the Newport tournaments. After losing the first, 6-2 Biddle deuced the second before falling before Johnston's forehand drives. All the other California stars who are competing came thru successfully and in most cases played thru two rounds of men's singles.

Modification of the permanent injunction against James B. Girard restraining him from completing construction of the Diamond Creek dam in Arizona was on record in federal court here today following action by Judge Fred C. Jacobs. Judge Jacobs ordered the decree changed to read that Girard was restrained "until further authorized by law." Further action in the matter, it is expected, will be taken by the government which alleged in its suit that Girard's permit for the dam construction was not full and complete. RUTH GETS 32ND CHICAGO, July 29. Babe Ruth today added another four-bagger to his number, running his total for the season to 32. Thurston, White Sox ace, was the slabman. Two were on base.

La Habra Man Drove While Drunk, Charge Gus Terwilliger, 38, of La Habra was in the Fullerton jail today, facing a charge of driving while intoxicated. Terwilliger was recently placed in the Fullerton jail on a complaint by Frank Cagel of Placentia on the charge of assault and battery. His hearing on this charge had been postponed, and now Terwilliger has a more serious charge to answer. Ted Blackmur, charged with transporting liquor, was fined $100 this morning by Judge Hart.

UNION PACIFIC STATION Phone 720 EAST MEETS WEST PORTLAND, Ore., July 29.—East meets west tonight when Harry Soo, descendant of Mandarin forebears, clashes six rounds at the armory boxing show with Frankle Grandetta, "the little sheik" who recently conquered many opponents about Los Angeles and Hollywood. So much interest has been aroused in this bout that the main event Joe Gorman of Portland, vs. Babe Herman of California, has been overshadowed. ARGUM SPROUTINGS The Olympic games are a thing of the past. The U. S. came off with 45 first, Finland was next with 37, France was third with 33, and England fourth, with 31. Our boys got away with about a third of the total points, a very remarkable showing. But Houser carried the stars and stripes at the head of the American delegation in the last days ceremonies when the official announcements were made. Commenting on the essentials of great boxers, Billy Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard says that the first requirement is clean living. A candidate for boxing honors may have most any other drawback, and if he is a right liver he can overcome his weaknesses, but first of all he must be a clean actor. One reason why our four round boxers do not make good in sections where longer bouts are put on is that they do not have to live as cleanly as where the shorter bouts are put on. Most any young man can box a little and keep in condition to go four Today & Tomorrow BETTY COMPSON in "The Enemy Sex" Christie Comedy SEX" Christie Comedy 'CALL THE WAGON' TOPICS OF THE DAY THEATRE FLOWERS COURTESY OF FLOWER SHOP being that of getting cute, dusting off the plate so that Finny might see the balls and strikes. Krug and Jenkins kicked too hard and used some rather strong adjectives concerning some of Finney's decisions. The Angels sorta spoiled Red Killifers hopes of gaining on the Seals. The Angels took the series 4 to 3, while the Seals were romping over the Beavers 5 out of 7. Dutch Leonard, once on of the big pitchers in the American league and property of Detroit, has applied for reinstatement. Dutch got in dutch when he refused to report to the Tigers in 1923. He played outlaw ball last season and appears to have lost none of his old ability. It is reported that he has been reinstated and will leave Wednesday for Detroit where he will try and help Ty Cobb cop a pennant. Babe Ruth smacked out his thirtieth home run Saturday. This mighty swat gave the Yankees a victory over Chicago in the fourteenth inning in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The Yankees are only half a Man Drove Drunk, Charge Lager, 38, of La Habra Fullerton jail today, leg of driving while Terwilliger was rein the Fullerton jail by Frank Cagel on the charge of assery. His hearing on had been postponed, Terwilliger has a he more to answer. our, charged with aliquor, was fined going by Judge Hart. The Pasadena Elks, lead by our old friend Lorin Ury, were defeated by the Monrovia herd. It was thought that Ury would have clear sailing to a pennant if Anaheim would stay out of the way, and now up steps Monrovia and butts Lorin for a heavy loss. If Ury cannot win this year, he had better let someone else direct the destinies of the Pasadena herd. Manager Art Ramage and his Fresno Tigers won a tight game from the Doans Indians Sunday. The score was 5 to 4. Carl Sawyer and his Glendale crew made twenty-five victories in a row Sunday when they took Gardena into camp 9 to 1. It has been so long since the Glendale crew lost a game they do not remember what it feels like. Just as the Angels are getting organized and playing ball three important men were indefinitely suspended by President Harry Williams for a run in with Umpire Ed Finny. Saturday afternoon, those that felt the hard of discipline were: Manager Mandy Krug, catcher Joe Jenkinson and pitcher Tom Hughes. Hughes will probably be back in the lineup in a day or two, his offence Babe Ruth smacked out his thirtieth home run Saturday. This mighty swat gave the Yankees a victory over Chicago in the fourteenth inning in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The Yankees are only half a game from the league leading Tigers while Washington is only about the same distance from the Yankees. As the season advances the race gets hotter. Boston had the Yanks on the run the fore part of the season. Now it is the Senators and Tigers with the Browns not so far distant but they could cause trouble with a spurt any old time. The Giants are slowly drawing away from the Cubs. McGraw's charges are enjoying the most comfortable lead they have had for weeks. They look to be at the to pof the heap with little danger of being dethroned. The Jack Renault-Bartley Madden battle scheduled to go 15 rounds in Long Island City tonight should be interesting. It should give the fans an idea of how good Madden is. If he gets by the heavy hitting Renault he is pretty good, and if he wins he is better, and if he should knock the lumber jack out then he is very good and Harry Wills was not such a dub after all. On the other hand, if Renault should win by a K.O., Harry Wills stock would take another severe slump. E. C. KENDRICK JEWELER AND OPTOMETRIST Watch and Jewelry Repairing given closest attention.
