LAUGHS! CHUCKLES! ROARS! Come early Tonight STRANGLER LEWIS BROKEN MAN NOW KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 9. Ed "Strangler" Lewis is a broken man today, who for weeks will have to remain in bed and for months perhaps will be unable to raise himself to a sitting posture when lying down, nor to stand after once having been lifted off his back. If Lewis—in a year or 18 months—is in shape so that he could wrestle, another spinal injury such as he suffered in the bout in which lost his title last night with Wayne "Big" Munn, University of Nebraska, would in all probability prove fatal. This was the concern of opinion of NO TITLES WILL TOPPLE TONIGHT NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Local boxing has become so encrusted with the old championship hokum lately that it is a distinct relief to chronicle the fact that no titles are involved 'in tonight's fist-cuffing at Madison Square Garden. It really looks as if there would be some fights this evening. After some of the alleged title titles that have been inflicted on the populace lately, it is pertinent to inquire at any box office: "Is this a championship match, or will there be some fighting?" There will be no "applesauce" about the three ten rounds spe- LEWIS MAY NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 9.—Dr. R. G. Clapp, wrestling coach at the University of Nebraska, who gave Wayne "Big" Munn his first instructions in the game said today that Munn never committed a deliberate foul during nearly three years of collegiate competition. "Wayne always observed the ethics of the game," Clapp declared, "and as a result was never disqualified." LEWIS MAY NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN LINCOLN, Neh., Jan. 9.—Dr. R. G. Clapp, wrestling coach at the University of Nebraska, who gave Wayne "Big" Munn his first instructions in the game said today that Munn never committed a deliberate foul during nearly three years of collegiate competition. "Wayne always observed the ethics of the game," Clapp declared, "and as a result was never disqualified." LEWIS MAY NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 9.—Ed "Strangler" Lewis, former heavyweight wrestling champion of the world, may never wrestle again as a result of injuries received last night when he lost his title to Wayne "Big" Munn, former University of Nebraska athlete. Dr. Terry Lilly who was with Lewis at St. Luke's hospital until 4 o'clock this morning said the former champion has probably fractured two vertebrae at the base of the spine. Dr. Lilly said he would not make a definite statement as to Lewis' injuries until he had further examined the wrestler later this morning. He based his first statement on a hurried examination of X-ray pictures. Remarkable Story of Bagdad Coming Douglas Fairbanks amazingly romantic and dramatic story, heretofore thought impossible of achievement on the screen, "The Thief of Bagdad," will be the attraction at the California for 4 days starting Monday. There is said to be in this story a wonderful love tale to set your pulses going; a wealth of adventurous incidents that stirs audiences to a rousing pitch of excitement. It will be a new experience to you to see a Magic Rug soar above the house-tops and off into the sky. Favorable developments in steel and oil industries continue to absorb the attention of the relative list, the latter show distinct sign of at last overlying the effects of the extreme heavy production of crude oil; the refining processes which out twice as much gasoline in barrel of oil as formerly. So he has been the increase in consumption of gasoline in the last months that refiners have drilled liberally on their storage supply of both crude and refined oil. U. S. Steel led a brisk market in the steel stocks in the first half year. MON.-TUES.

Dr. Lilly said he would not make a definite statement as to Lewis' injuries until he had further examined the wrestler later this morning. He based his first statement on a hurried examination of X-ray pictures taken last night. Lewis was thrown out of the ring by Munn and fell on the cement floor. In an exclusive statement to International News Service this morning, Munn declared the throwing of Lewis out of the ring was an accident, the referee must have seen had he been on either side instead of behind the two men. "I had just got a crotch hold and a half Nelson on Lewis, which I had been working for all evening," said the new champion. "I had lifted Lewis over my head to throw him to the mat when he broke the hold and in using his left arm, pushed himself out of my arms and out of the ring." "I don't think that anyone who knows me would believe I would attempt a deliberate foul or try to throw my opponent on to a cement floor." Munn called Lewis' hospital twice after midnight and intends to visit Lewis today if the former champion's physicians will permit. NURMI IN TRAINING NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Paavo Nurmi went back into light training today for his next appearance in the municipal games at Madison Square Garden Jan. 15. He refuses to be made a hero as a result of his record smashing indoor debut here. Offers from a motion picture company which wished to make slow motion pictures of the famous runner in action and from a sculptor who wanted him to pose were refused. GIBBONS WINS K. O. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 9.—Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul scored a technical knockout over Jack Burke, Pittsburgh heavyweight here last night in the sixth round of a scheduled ten round bout. Gibbons handed Burke 201 bush; photo 871-31—Ady. of Bagdad Coming Douglas Fairbanks' amazingly romantic and dramatic story, heretofore thought impossible of achievement on the screen, "The Thief of Bagdad," will be the attraction at the California for 4 days starting Monday. There is said to be in this story a wonderful love tale to set your pulses going; a wealth of adventurous incidents that stirs audiences to a rousing pitch of excitement. It will be a new experience to you to see a Magic Rug soar above the house-tops and off into the sky, bearing the Thief and the beautiful Princess of Bagdad. Another new and strange experience will be to witness a Winged Horse fly up and through the clouds, bearing the Thief of Bagdad, of whom all nations for hundreds of years, have been reading about in the tales of the Arabian Nights. You may have read about the Invisible Cloak, but you surely have not seen it unless you have viewed Douglas Fairbanks in "The Thief of Bagdad." Born of a poet's dream in Araby, this remarkable story was developed by Douglas Fairbanks into a beautiful reality. Nothing like it has ever been attempted; nothing like it has ever been seen; nothing like it has ever been accomplished. These statements may seem exaggerations but when compared with the criticisms of this picture wherever it has been presented, cause them to appear to lack in justifiable enthusiasm. The critic of the New York Times sums up the matter justly and according to all accounts truly, when he said that "The Thief of Bagdad" is a "feat of moving picture art which has never been equalled or even approached." So also the Evening Telegram. "It is the greatest picture we have or ever expect to see." This is a specially organized company of musicians, mechanicians and equipment—a replica of the presentation at the Liberty Theater in New York with the same colorful atmosphere effects, symphony orchestra, original score. Mohammedan Chantier and full scenic investiture. It is easy to get a reputation as an intellectual. Just euse morona. severe beating. The fight was stopped by the referee.

Sears Roebucks rise to 16 put that stock in the highest position in the price list since 1980 and heavy buying was in order at high prices. Montgomery Ward rose to above 50 for first time in its history and Morgans 3½ points at 80. Worth was active around about one point higher. There were few reaction trends in the stock market; other severe cut in sugar prices dampened the ardor of the bull sugar stocks, but reactions were not severe. Textile companies were heavy, due to conflicting ports from strategic power. Switch of speculative interest caused the usual declines in stock which enjoyed a sharp rise of 10 but offerings were well absorbed and reactions did not go far. International paper was active the late trading with an advance of two points to 58½%. Grain cotton markets were firm. Stock sales totalled to 2,840,000 shares; bonds $19,100.

TONIGHT There are five real acts of vaudeville at the California lo-night with a big headline feature "The Rotman's Juvenile Band." These clever little artists have been making a tremendous hit all over the big time vaudeville circuits and Anaheim is indeed fortunate that they will be able to see it. Flery Priscilla Dean comes to the California Theater for tonight only in her second Hunt Stromberg special production, "A Cafe in Cairo," a Producer's Distributing Corporation role. Advance reports state that...new picture is not only one of the most lavish productions in which Miss Dean has ever appeared but that it even exceeds "The Siren of Seville" from the point of action and dramatic interest. "A Cafe in Cairo" is a picturization of the novel of the same name by Izola Forrester, author of "The White Moth," and the photoplay version is credited to Harvey Gates, who wrote "The Wildcat of Her Priscilla Dean triumphs." It is a colorful, eyotic melodramatic romance of the land of Cleopatra, and it is said that the very atmosphere and mysticism of the Far East, pervades its every scene. As Nida, fascinating little Houri, who falls in love with a dashing young American secret service operator, Miss Dean is given a role which exactly fits her unique screen personality. And into she ejects not only the tempestuous portrayal for which she is famous but also a heart appeal that she has heretofore not revealed. A Sunshine Comedy, "The Diving Pool" and Kinograms are on the program. and oil industries continued to absorb the attention of the specimen list, the latter showing signs of at last overcomprehension effects of the extremely production of crude oil and refining processes which turn twice as much gasoline to a fraction of oil as formerly. So heavy when the increase in consumption of gasoline in the last six months that refineries have drawn on their storage supplies with crude and refined oil. Steel led a brisk market in steel stocks in the first hour, which the trading quieted in this section of the market. The number of the railroad forged to the front Union line to above 152; So. Pac. to up 1½%; New York Central 123; Denver and Rio Grande issued its spectacular course, placing nearly five points to tap nearly 12 points since its onset on the stock exchange on 10. Roebucks rise to 162% that stock in the highest position in the price list since 1920 heavy buying was in order at high prices. Montgomery rose to above 50 for the time in its history and Macy's 3½ points at 80. Woolworth was active around 125, one point higher. There were few reactionary firms in the stock market. An severe cut in sugar prices ended the ardor of the bulls in stocks, but reactions were severe. Textile companies heavy, due to conflicting reefs from strategic points, of speculative interest in the usual declines in stocks enjoyed a sharp rise of late. Offerings were well absorbed reactions did not go far. Industrial paper was active in trade with an advance points to 58½%. Grain and markets were firm. Sales totalled today 1000 shares; bonds $19,195.

Harry Carey and Bret Harte—what better combination could there be than the screen's best actor of western roles in a story by America's best writer of western tales! That's why "The Flaming Forties" the picturisation of Bret Harte's famous story," Tennessee's Pardner," will thrill you during its first showing at the California Saturday and is one of the most realistic and entertaining films of the early wess that we have seen. In it, Carey does admirable work. If the noted author were alive today he could not help but be delighted with the way the popular star has interpreted his hero. And the other characters are brought to life with equal truth. Wm. Norman Balloy, as the outlaw Despard or "Tennessee," as he was known to his pardner; Jacquelin Gadsden as his wife; James Mason as the double-dyed villain; Jay Bird Charley; Frank Norcross as Colonel Starbottle and Wilbur Higby as Sheriff Pinkie Riggs, all play their parts with the vigor and color that marks the true Bret Harte figure. The story is replete with thrills and tinged with the spirit of mystery and adventure that is half the charm of all Mr. Harte's tale. There are fights numerous and various enough to please the most ardent fans and there is a romance rich in pathos and tender sbounds. Another of the Go-Getter Comedies, an Aesop Pable and Chapter Nine of "Into the Net" will be shown. A Class Ad is lost here again...
