GRAND THEATRE.
The Dempsey-Tunney film is an admirable one in every way, splendidly staged, and the photography is excellent. It would be difficult to imagine anything more clear and distinct, and the camera records every blow struck. The opening feet of film- show the contestants in training, and the work-outs show tho two men to have been in good trim for their fight. From Dempsey's showings it is small wonder that so large a number of people expected him to retain his title. The actual photographs of each rounS of the fight are remarkably clear, and tho spectators can. follow each blow as well as if they had been in ringside seats in the stadium. One round is taken in slow motion and this gives an even better'opportunity to judge the merits of the contestants. . The second picture is "Kansons Folly, a tale of tho Indian wars in America, starring Richard Barthelmess. The otory concerns a young lieutenant who beo'me3 bored in camp and endeavours to enliven things by his mad escapades.
