GREATBATTLE | IN PROSPECT Lijfht-Heavy weight Title Fight In New York Tonight New York. March 13 —(UP)—One of the year's best ring battles in in pr rpeet tonight when John Henry Lewis, Los Angeles negro, makes the firat defense of his world lightheavyweight title against Jock Meavoy of England, in a 15-round bout a, Madison Square Carden. The Gross rec- I','ts are expected to approach 160,000. Lewis, will have weight, reach and heieght on his englfeh challenger. He will scale 175, is inches taller and has three inches more reach. McAvoy will weigh at’xmt 165. ‘ Although McAvoy has ruled a 1110 betting favorite all week, the odds dropped to evven money today anfl are likely to find Lewin favored at ringtime. Jack Blackburn, trainer of Jo? Louis, conditioned the champion. McAvoy, who has stored two knockouts and has won two decisions in his four bouts in this country. fights out of a crough and has a style difficult to solve. He can pun h as well as box. In 108 bouts he has scored 83 knockouts, and loot only four times, once on a foul. Lewis won his title from Bob Olin last October in St. Louis. He has been a busy fighter since, engaging in nine matc-h.-a. loeing twice to Maxey Rosenbloom, ex-175-pound hampion, and Emilio Martinez. Superstitious. Lewis calls the occasions when he loses “dark nights.” H? believes he has a strange “sev-rn-come-eleven" influnce and thinks he is hottest when the stakes are high. Ttnight being Friday the 13th

JOE RROWN IN FEATURE SHOW Comedian To lake Part In “Midsummer Night s Dream" From the day ho entered pic , tures. Joe E. Brown has been a star. He served no apprenticeship as la featured player. He has starred in fifteen Warn ler Bros, productions and in the | sixteenth was content to be one of a cant of other stars. in "A Midstimmer Night s Dream.” which opens at the t’ort theater on Thursday. March 19. he plays the part of Flute. This ’s by no means the leading role. It I is however, an important piece in , the intricate pattern Shakespeare, has woven. The reason Brown sought this ’ role, when he is accultomed to being the only star in his films, is a -eason unusual to Hollywood. He felt that the importance of the production as the biggest thing of its kind ever made, coupled ' with the opportunity of working with the great Max Reinhardt, justified a star submerging himself. It was a ease where the artist i dominated the man. Only an artist sure of himself ! and of his position could have done J lit. In the play, there is an import ant sequence where several artisans decide to stage a Greek trag edy for the benefit of the Duke's guests. I Their rehearsals as well as their final performance is robust and hilarious comedy. Besides Joe E. Brown, the mummers are James Cagney, Hugh Herbert. Frank McHugh. Otis Harlan, Arthur Treacher and Dewey ' Robinson. Joe E.'s characterization of a bellows-mender in the role of a beautiful maiden is said to be one of the delightful comedy touches of Warner Bros, unusual production. Joe E. Brown may not be the star of “A Midsummer Nights i Dream.” but whenever he appears, •the qualities that made him a star ■are said to be quite evident. The picture is a mighty epic of the screen, produced by Reinhardt ' and directed by him in association with William Dicterle. It is set to the strains of Mendelssohn's beauitiful music, arranged by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. I Unique ballets, in which hun--dreds of dancers take part, were staged by Bronislawa Nijinska and I Nina Theiade. The screen play is by Chari,-- Kenyon -.nd M.n Me(C ‘ I, ,---d oil t'ie t'l .-.es- ! pearian masterpiece. | Others in the cast include Dick Powell. Jean Muir, Victor Jory. Verree Teasdale.
