The Ghetto has given to the world much that eavors of genius, though hampered by lack of light, figuratively and actually. It also has shown to the world a quality of real love, characterized by many phases not understandable to the average American. The story of "Humoresque" is sim ple, with a plot not too detailed or too complex. Its1 heart is ample ample enough to take all classes, all races into the heart of a Jewish mother and believe and love with her in her wonder son destined to give joy to the world through magic melo dies of his violin. It preaches no lesson but gives to those who see it a breadth of experience which cannot help but make for more tolerance, more kindliness and better manhood and womanhood. East side slums of New York, dirty, shrieking and crowded, form the back ground for the opening scenes. With such a background, the family of Leon Kanter and of Gina Berg are introduced. The Kanter family is fed from the proceeds of an antique shop where new brasses are made by Papa Kanter into old and costly heirlooms. The Berg family consists of a wee lip of a girl, crippled but adorable. and her worshiping father, unedu cated, dirty and true as the gold which he seeks in America, the land of promise.

Proof that the picture is finding its way Into the hearts of Portlanders is the fact that high school teachers are recommending it to their stu dents and club women are publically asking other mothers to take their children to see "Humoresque."

In fact, it has been expected for the past three months. The accompany lng announcement that J. G. Godsol had resigned the position of vice president and member of the execu tive committee, was not expected and his action is causing ''considerable comment in and about the Goldwyn studios in Culver City. Mesmore Kendall and General Cole man Dupont. it has been officially announced, win take the place va cated by Goldwyn and Godsol, who will remain as members of the board of directors. Months ago. it became known here that Dupont had Invested heavily in Goldwyn stock and that the Dupont millions would be available in the handling of the business of the cor poratlon.

The regatta Sunday -will be tha de elding race to Kettle the question of the championship of the season among the 225-325 class racers.

DUCK HUNTERS GET REUDI SATJVTES ISLAND PROJECT IS OFFERED SPORTSMEN. Hocks Already Arriving and Men lie gin Placing Feed on Favored Lakes. Several of Portland's sportsmen are already preparing for the duck hunt ing season which will open on Octo ber 1 and close on October 31. An effort Is being made by severs of the local nlmrods to organize hunting club and to build a clubhouse onNSauv!es Island in the Columbia river.

That is not to say that the same matches billed on the former date will bold the boards, but the game Itself will be dragged out of the mothballs. Johnny Tillman, Minneapolis wel terweight, who' has fought nearly every good man in the country at his weight, will meet Alex Trambitas of Portland in the main event of ten rounds. The fistic fans should be treated to one of the best scraps staged In these parts among boys at the welterweight limit when Tillman nd Trambitas square off for their clash. Tillman FMllac Fit. Tillman Is feeling as fit as the pro- erbial fiddle and is fresh from a ten- ound bout against Welterweight Champion Jack Britton in Cleveland. O. With the experience of having fought to a standstill such boxers as Britton, Ted "Kid" Lewis, Benny Leonard, Jack Malone, Johnny Grif fiths, Lew Tendler and others, the Minneapolis boxer will enter the ring favorite. Johnny's record does not show any great abundance of knockouts, but despite that fact, he is labeled as a good hitter. In his last match, against ohnny Griffiths, which was In Cleve land, Tillman knocked Griffiths down four times and bad him on the ropes in the final round. In his last battle, against Benny Leonard several years ago Tilman knocked the champion down, and then Benny came back and floored him in later round, evening up the score. Tillman is not an old man. He is still youngster and has some good years ahead of him in the boxing game, if his past showings are any criterion of his class in the ring. Trambitas Is Yovngster. Alex Trambitas, coached and tu tcred by the veteran sportsman. Jack Fahie, has, of course, the advantage of youth, is full of pep and punching ike an old-timer 'with both hands. Alex is a mighty aggressive young ster and knows how to take care of himself. H has been in some tough battles and met some rugged fighters and up to date has always emerged from the fray with honors. His hit ting ability is his best stock in trade. He Is not an exceptionally hard hitter. but keeps coming with both bands all the time and punches solidly. A steady puncher is a much more dangerous man than just a "lone-star" hard hit ter waiting to get in a K. O. sock. Frankie Murphy will be up against the cleverest man that he has faced since he has oeen on the Pacific coast when he meets Frankie Jones of San Francisco tonight in the semi-wind up or eight rounds. Murphy can step around at a pretty lively pace, however, and is not worrying over the boxing ability attributed to his opponent. Johnny Kiske and Niel Zimmerman two rugged 130-pounders. are down to meet in one of tho six-round' specials while "Babe" Herman and Baby Blue will tangle in the other six-round match at 120 pounds. Jack Holland and young Derapwy, scaling about 124 pounds each, will box the four- round curtain raiser. Matchmaker Bobby Evans of the Portland Boxing commission an nounced yesterday that the Portland commission card slated for September 24 had been postponed until October 6. The commission figured that with the Pendleton Roundup and the state fair at Salem, it would not be advls able to stage a boxing card here. The Milwaukie commission will show again on September 29 with Harvey Thorpe of Kansas City meet ing the winner of tonight's bout. D UNI WAY CALLS CANDIDATES 'Peanuts" Pander to Get His Men Out for Practice.

"Peanuts" Pander, former in terscholastic star will coach the team and he has called his first practice session for Friday evening at the Duniway park grounds. Several new players have signified their intention of turning out for the earn and) with many of last year's team back the outlook for one of the strongest 135 pound elevens In the city is bright.

The Brooklyn nationals miffered their first defeat In 11 games today when Chicago batted Cadore hard, but Cincinnati and New York failed to take advantage of the slip. The Keds had low score in Philadelphia and New. York fell before St. Louis. The Yankees won their fifth consecutive game and made it three straight from Detroit. Cleveland and Cnlcago were shut out, the Indians being unable to hit Rommeil of Philadelphia, while the White Sox could do little with Acosta of Washington.

Attempts to Institute professional foot ball have met with Indifferent success In the past but It Is reported that a number of cities last season came out successfully, notably Detroit. Hammond, Dayton, Can ton, Akron, Masslllon and one or two other cities. It is barely possible that the thing may be put over. but there are many followers of football who believe that the game is too strenuous and liabil ity to injury too frequent to make it worth while for the players. Of course big salaries will overcome this. Then it remains to be seen if the public wants that sort of football. For men may come and men may go, but Sam Ingford seems destined to do both forever.. He's about due to begin to get into that "-5 years ago" column.
