...that his wife is tarred with the same brush as the defendant, but he manages to get over it. The picture resorts to the favorite current system of wadding up a batch of stellar talent (Sylvia Breamer, Bessie Love, Myrtle Stedman, Henry B. Walthall, Mary Carr and Hobart Bosworth).

...Melody Man. Lew Fields, after an absence, returned to Broadway, a bit more leisurely, a bit stouter, but still screamingly pathetic. His vehicle (by the hitherto unheard-of Herbert Richard Lorenz) is not brilliantly original, having most of the ancient elements of tear-winning hokum combined into a pathetic story which Lew turns into a highly satisfactory farce-comedy.

Notwithstanding Shugrue's unlucky disability in the first round, it was obvious Moran had not met his match. The latter's improvement since his illness a year ago is little short of startling. With the possible exception of Lew Tendler in 1922, he is the most logical contender in several years for the throne of Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard. Unhappily for him, Benny's habit is to render contenders decidedly illogical in actual combat. Moran and Leonard will probably meet next Summer in an outdoor fight...
