Without Sugar V- sir! f 3, Mi- ih The question frequently has been s-Hked which weight division In the boxing game is the rnoBt popular with the followers of the "ring-. Are battles between heavies. middles, light weights or some other heft, the best lira wins cards and most popular with the fans? Probably the most reasonable answer would be that the public favors the match which is likely to produce the best fighting, but all things being equal the greatest stress seems to be placed on a title for the heavyweight championship, while the lightweight comes next. The big fellows always hit the popular fancy for the reason that here one sees physical development at its greatest height. Great strength always has a cogent appeal for It means power and Invincibility. On the other hand, there are many -who prefer the lightweight division be cause they are more likely to see prettier boxing and quicker, snappier action. To many the grinding, bruis ing nature of two strong men pitted against each other has a certain horror. The question then naturally arises, why is It that the middleweight division is not a more popular one? Here we have two men in combat who possess much of the strength and power of the heavies and also consid erable of the speed of the smaller men. Probably this can be answered by saying that for one reason or an other the middleweight division has lacked high-class performers to a greater extent than any other weight. New Middlea Mediocre. Of course there have been great middleweights. such as Dempsey, the nonpareil: Bob Fitzsimmons, before he graduated into the heavies; Kid McCoy, and perhaps one or two others. Of these latter may be men tioned Stanley Ketchcl, and with the passing of Ketchel, it is safe to say that we have not had a man in this division who could begin to compare wilh any of the men whose names have just been mentioned. The lightweight division has stead ily kept in the popular favor for the reason that it practically always has had a top-notchcr wearing the crown, and there are scarcely any men in this division who have won the cham pionship title who are not worthy of being rated A-l. Cans, Wolgast, Nel son. Ritchie, Welsh and Leonard have stood head and shoulders above the ruck. With the exception of Welsh, practically every one of them had a deadly punch, and every one of them proved his gameness time and again. Lightweights Have Claim. And it is not only the king of the lightweight division who is good. We have, until today, always had boys coming along who were genuine con tenders for the honor. Trobably there is a greater dearth of material to stack up against the present cham pion, Benny Leonard, than at ay time during the last 20 or SO years. It is the constantly uniform good r,,,iitv of the lightweights which has kept this division so popular with the fans. Frankie Murphy, the aggressive Denver welterweight will meet Travte Davis in the main event of Dan Salt's fistic card In Seattle on Wednesday night. Davis has been defeating everything at his weight In the northwest and recently annexed a verdict over the rugged Johnny McCarthy. Murphy will leave for Seattle tonight. a Johnny Fiske, the rockbound Rock Island. 111., featherweight, vho has put up several great fights at the Milwaukie arent, is thinking of join ing the ranks of Barney Oldfleld and Ralph De Palma after he knocks a few more battlers for a goal.

TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. j Peoples Emma Dunn, "Old Lady! 31." Liberty Katherine MacDonald, "Playthings of Passion." Columbia William S.Hart, "Sand!" Rivoli O'Henry's "The Garter Girl." Majestic Miriam Cooper. "The Deep Purple." Star Tom Mix, "Desert Love." Circle William S. Hart, 'The Toll Gate." SHADOWS of the underworld, in contrast to the realities of the broad, honest, work-a-day world, are the stuff whereof "The Deep Pur ple" plot has been made. The screen version of this melodrama, from the pen of Paul Armstrong and Wilson Mizner, is knowing at the Majestic theater this week' in connection with the Harold Lloyd comedy, "High and Dizzy." If you are nervous or if you are thirsty don't go to see "High and Dizzy," but if you want to hold your sides laughing and your breath in actual fear don't miss it. It can't be said that "High and Dizzy" is better than any of the recent Harold Lloyd comedies but it may be said that it has in no way lowered his standard. Trouble starts in this comedy when. to save some home brew which has just sent forth Its corks high into the air, a young doctor calls in his col league in the next office. Later after many funny adventures, the two med ics become separated and the one whose part Mr. Lloyd plays has his attention attracted by a girl walking in her sleep along a narrow ledge outside the twelfth story of. a down town hotel. Hopelessly drunk he starts after her but suddenly he looks down and sees the distance between him and the faraway street. His confi dence Immediately deserts him. From then on the audience chokes with laughter and simultaneously ac tually suffers with the man on the dangerous ledge. ' W. F. Ferguson, who plays a more or less minor role in "The Deep Pur ple," steals -star honors from Miriam Cooper, its real star. As "Pop Clark," a suave old reprobate who is alter nately bible seller and thief, one Is not supposed to sympathize with him at all. but so clever is his delineation that he becomes the center of the en tire play. Charles Dickens would have liked "Pop." One can easily be lieve a blood relationship exists be tween him and Sammie Weller or Major Bagstock. Screen Gossip. Huge single lilies have been used to decorate the foyer fountain of the Liberty theater this week. Their fra grance permeates the entire theater and for that reason only a limited number have been used. The blos soms are so large, however, that they make one of the most effective floral displays that has yet been designed for the Liberty, ,which prides itself on the artistic and ever-changing in terior dcorations. Frank Mayo in "The Red Lane" has arrived in Portland and will be shown to Oregon exhibitors during the com ing week. Mayo comes of a long line of famous dramatists. His father origlnaed the role of "Puddin Head Wilson" in the presentation of Mark Twain's famous story. His grand father also was famous for bis dra matic ability. All of the Mayos beat the name of Frank. . Ethel Clayton arrived in New Tork the first of the month from Holly wood, completing the first stage of a long vacation journey.

She will make two, possibly three, productions at London studios. This is Miss Clayton"s first visit to New York in more than a year. Harry Gribben who plays the lead ing male role in "Up in Mary's Attic," a new comedy sensation, is a better actor than he is a swimmer. During the making of the picture Eva Novak, the heroine, "accident ally" fell in the ocean and was car ried out beyond her reach. Harry, being the hero, of course was supposed to rescue her. Grab bing a pair of water wings, all ar ranged .according to schedule, he plunged after her. The director yelled his orders to the villain, stand ing by, who drew a six shooter from his hip pocket and plugged the water wings full of holes. And right there the comedy almost turned into a tragedy for, as we said before, Harry is a poor swimmer. Harry gets the credit for the rescue on the screen, but among the studio folk the villain gets the credit that is due him for dragging Harry from the surf. The provocative results of the first rays of summer heat have evidently not been felt at any or the First Na tional producing units for work con tinues merrily on to an even greater extent than in the peppery winter months. With the advent of the Mayflower Photoplay corporation into the first national fold, two new producing com panies were thereby added to the ever-growing list. They are Alan Dwan productions, featuring the pop ular Mary Thurman, and the Sidney Franklin productions, the first of which will be "Athalle," featuring Sylvia Breamer. Mr. Dwan is now hard at work on his second release for First National and promises that It will be even more interesting than his initial attempt, A Splendid Hazard, which has just been released. Having returned from Del Monte, where he finished the final scenes of Peaceful Valley," Charles Ray ii mediately started or his second First National production. "Forty-five Min utes From Broadway." Incidentally, Mr. Ray wishes it known that this will be the first to be released. The well known Cohan stage success is es pecially adapted -to Mr. Ray'j talents and will afford him an opportunity to display them at great advantage.
