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

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.

she will return to London. 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.

MELOMAR is the answer
ATCH the seasons of your favorite
fruits. Keep them delicious with MELO
MAR. It's the greater economy in the long
run, whatever the conditions and prices in ef
fect in the sugar market.
Preserves area "reserve fund" in foods. The more you
store away the less it will cost you for the table in
winter. ,
MELOMAR should always be chosen for preserves the
cost is less the flavor is keener your preserves are
insured against the waste of "candying."
Make the most of the practical economy of MELOMAR
this season!
Use the eame proportions of MELOMAR syrup
