heavyweight picture, after losing a
fight to him two years ago. the fight
films not only rtiow the sensational
battle as It actually happened, but,
In order to give sport fans a com
plete picture, It Is also shown In slow
motion, with every blow, every knock
down followed from the time Joe's
dynamiting fists started their lethal
work until Maxle was hanging on the
ropes, knocked out completely and
saved from further punishment by
the actions of Referee Artiiur Dono
Tan, who stopped the fight to save
Schmellng any unnecessary batter
ing. "Josette," a spicy, tantalizing story
of New Orleans, starts gaily on Its
way when Don and Bob decide tfielr
Papa Is too ardently "cherchezing 1
femme" Joette. The fact that
Slmone Is Innocent of all guile as re
gards Papa and that there la an
other woman In the cast only adds
to the merry madness. For Don and
Bob pack Papa off on a trip and de
cide to take Josette Into their own
bands or arms, as It' later develops.
