‘Hick/ Drama Critic, Gives Account of Fight Matinee f Carpentier’s Role Too Heavy for Great Actor —Compares Gentlemanly Qualities of Great Tragedians.

1 By WAITER D. HICKMAN. . There Is one actor in this ■world who couldn't take a "curtain call" after a matinee, although an audience of more than 90,001 wanted him to. Georges Carpentier is the actor. After Georges had finished his part during the fourth "act" of the matinee lat Jersey City, he was in no shape to take a curtain call. Jack Dempsey took jhig "call." although it reminded me of iOne of those forced affairs which is so t)ften wished upon an audience. Well. it was a dandy show, although 1 was scheduled to go a dozen "acts." Carpentier might call the show "A Little .Adventure in Forgetfulness.” and Dempsey might term it "The Surprise Party.” 1 The more I think of what I saw at this fight, the more convinced 1 am that the Frenchman handed Dempsey a big surprise in the second round. There is i still a bunch of discussion on the fact i whether Dempsey swayed under Carpen.tier’s blows In the second round. AlI am just one of a jury of 90,000 Kid theo some who saw the fight, I saw Kempsey sway in the second round when R'arpentier landed the surprise punch. I If Carpentier could hare followed up F his terrific drive in the second ronnd I with an upper cut, which he ,sent at Dempsey but which Just scraped his chin, the matinee might have ended then. BLOW IX SECOND ’LACKED POWER. Wh n Carpentier's blow landed tbe crowd went wild. Dempsey's expression * reminded me of a lad who, on going to a party, rips his trousers in bowing to his best girl. Surprise and a wee bit of \ fear was written on his face. In a flash that expression was wiped away and Dempsey seemed to be saying to himself. *‘l won’t fool with Frenetie another minute,” Dempsey then deliberately forced Carpentier to engage in the dan- | gerous in-fighting which gave Dempsey a chance to land those terrific six-inch jabs against his opponent. When Carpentier failed to knock Dempsey down with his drive to the chin the Frenchman realized that he was bound to lose the fight. Carpentier had sent bis most wicked punch at the champion and only rocked him a wee bit. From then on Carpentier was all out of luck and he knew that sooner or later he would wake up with a lily in his hand, so to sreak. Carpentier may have the brains when It comes to fighting, but he lacked the weight which was necessary to give the knock out steam to his blows. He didn't hurt Dempsey, although he caused Km to >wahble. verdict seems to be that Ctrpentier has lost none of his popularity hy being knocked out. The Frenehnan was game He fought the best he could, but his best was not good enough to knock out the muscled giant who was his opponent. Carpentier played a great part. He gcve the best that was in him and the crowd knew it. He was game and he took his punishment without a whlmLper. I think it was an Ret of humanity 'that Dempsey deliberately knocked Carpentler out in the fourth round, because Carpentier would have been covered with blood and might have been fatally injured if tbe matinee had continued two more acts. When Carpentier was knocked down the |fi.rst time he made a successful effort to Irei on to his feet. Then Dempsey planted the Jabs which sent Carpentier Into the land of forgetfulness. Even when he was slipping into the realm of white ships that sail in the clouds, he made one feeble and pathetic effort to lift his right foot, but the muscles would not function. Carpentier failed to win the eham►pionship, but he retains the love and the admiration of the fight fans of America. The crowd was with the Frenchman. His ovation was many times greater than that given Dempsey when he first appeared in the ring. FRENCHMAN SHOWS GENTLEMANLY INSTINCT. Carpentier gave the Impression that he was a gen'leman. When Governor Edwards of New Jersey came into the ring, Juat before the beginning of the fight. Carpentier left his corner, walked toward the Governor and shook hands with him. Not bo with Dempsey. He made a movement as if to get Dp and while in a haifg and standing position, shook /w-od* with rhe Governor in a perfunctory way. This example tells in a clear way * the essential differences which was apparent in the two men. And yet we saw a different side to Dempsey. After Carpentier had taken the fatal cine counts, Dempsey waited for the Frenchman to recover from the knockout blow. Then Dempsey knelt

■ down and helped carry the Frenchman to j his corner. This did a great deal to put j Dempsey in better standing with the | crowd, although the audience did not go wild over his victory. Dempsey's sightless record during the war has done a whole lot to keep him from being the ! most popular ring champion in the blsj tory of the fight game. I heard many | remark that they were not “for Dempsey t personally, but they were glad that the championship knockout punch is still In America.” Dempsey waited in the ring until Carpentier had brushed The cobwebs of forgetfulness from his eyes. Then he went over and shook hands with the defeated Frenchman. And this fact remains—that in the hour ! following the excitement of victory, j Dempsey found time to wire his mother that he was o. k. Personally. I consider | Dempsey a great fighter, but a rotten ! actor who broke up a big show. I con- ! Bider Carpentier a good actor who was 1 miscast. The role was too heavy for him. He knew his lines, but he couldn't ' deliver them. DEMPSEY IS RAPID THINKER. All cf that talk that Dempsey is not a quick thinker is just plain bunk. Dempsey can not only think rapidly, but he has so much self control that he can overcome any element of surprise. ; Just as interesting ss the fight was the audience. It looked like a Speedway race crowd dumped into a big bowl. There were numerous Indianapolis people present, but tbe biggest and the best party was given by the B. F. Keith

Sight Restored hy Grafting Eyes VIENNA, July 6. —Successful eye grafting was described today by Dr. Koppanyi in a lecture before the Biological Society here. He said that he had transplanted new eyes in blind fish and rats, successfully Joining the optic nervee so that subjects regained sight. Dr. Koppanyi sketched a method by which he said it would be possible to restore partial sight to blinded soldiers if others could be found willing to sacrifice an. eye for the purpose.

vaudeville people, who entertained all of their theater managers and a representative from the papers In all cities where their houses were located. C. Boltare Eggleston, manager of Keith’s of Indianapolis, piloted a party of five to the big fight. Eggleston returned late yesterday with his party in great style after spending the Fourth at Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Nearly forgot to tell you that I saw a bunch of film and screen stars at the fight, but Tom Mix and his big hat seemed to grab off most of the attention. Tom looks like he is a real fellow. Again 1 repeat that the program was ell wrong in announcing that the matinee was for "twelve acts.” All wrong I say. THREE SLITS FILED.
