RING LARDNER SHOW
PLEASES AUDIENCE
SUNDAY AT CAPITOL
The much-talked-about film
adaptation of Ring Lardner’s classic
short story, "Champion,” arrived on
the screen of the Capitol Theatre
Sunday with Kirk Douglas giving a
magnificent performance in the
title role. Co-starring with Doug
las are Marilyn Maxwell and Arthur
Kennedy, with Ruth Roman, Lola
Albright and Paul Stewart shariilg
featured honors.
In the past many producers have
toyed with the idea of filming the
story of Midge Kelly, handsome,
utterly ruthless contender for fight
honors, who climbed to fame leaving
a trail behind strewn with the
bruised men and women who had
aided him.
A humorist of the sardonic school,
Ring Lardner knew his fight char
acters better perhaps than any
writer of his time, and few changes
have been made in his original
story. We first meet Midge Kelly
(Kirk Douglas) with his crippled
brother Connie (Arthur Kennedy)
on their way by boxcar to Los An
geles where Midge expects to take
over an interest he has purchased
from a friend in a roadside eaterly.
Sidetracked at Kansas City, Midge
engages in a professional fight for
a small sum. Hopelessly out-fought.
Midge nevertheless captures the in
terest of Tommy Haley (Paul stew
art), a fight manager who offers to
train him. He also meets a big
league fighter, Johnny Dunne (John
Day) and his flashy blonde girl
friend, Grace Diamond (Marilyn
Maxwell).
Midge finally becomes world
champion.
He then throws Grace over for
Palmer Harris (Lola Albight), the
socialite wife of Jerome Harris (Luis
Van Rooten), a famous fight pro
moter, with whom he has signed a
contract, cancelling out all his
former obligations to Tommy Haley.
He also breaks with Connie.
At the end, in a climax that is
more exciting than any ever be
fore filmed, Midge is still unde
feated champion of the world—pay
ing a price for it so staggeringly high
that audiences yesterday left the
theatre emotionally exhausted from
the intensity and realism of the
story they had just seen come to
life on the screen.
“Champion” will be shown at the
Capitol tonight and Tuesday.

| MEN, SUNDAY ALARM;
CHIEF HULK'S WARNING
Volunteer firemen answering a
fire alarm yesterday afternoon to

and delayed by unnecessary traffic,
Police Chief Bernard Hulk said to
day.
“City ordinance provides that the
[ sound of the sirens is the signal \
for regular auto traffic to stop and i
pull aside in order that firemen may ]
get through to the scene of the fire
with the least possible delay. We
don’t have to do it, but may be
forced to arrest persons obstructing
traffic in cases like this," he warned.
“Another thing, children on bicycles
should also get out of the way.
They not only endanger themselves
but are a hazard to firemen enroute
to a fire.”
The fire Sunday at 5:40 p.m. was
an overheated stove in the rooms of
D. Swan and caused no damage,
firemen reported.
