£ CLVI2 A VID 8.15. THURSDAY EVENING &.10. . : Tonight At Bethlehem 7.30 “GEORGE CARPERTIER” - THE IDOL OF FRANCE IN “THE WONDER MAN” & GEORGE CARPENTIER, the Heavyweight Champion o France 1 ““The Wondor Man’’ is not an abnormal one, but MAN as he should b2, an all-aroun athlete ,strong in battling for what he deems right or just, gentle and considerate in s cial relations, in- telligent without permitting avarice to rule his mental actitude. Such is the future MAN of Ameriea and, for that matter, of all countries. In our own, where ideals are high, “‘The Wonder Man’’ coneretely represents not only self aspiration, but a national hope for the generations to come. Heis a fixed type for those of us endowed with vision, to be produced in the infinite variety acecorded by nature. ['urthermore there are sketchy little character studies, particularly of children, whicii are bound to delight the spectator. While the cast is good. it is, as a matter of course dominated by the personality of George Carpentier. [t “-as a happy thonght te place him in contact with three interesting children, in order to bring out the sweeter side of what seems (o be his natural charactery He attracts all hearts by his winning smile, that of a man of strong affections and kin' ' disposition. At moments he is stern- ly pugnacious, with the *‘pug’’ left out; therc is lothing of the brute in his facial ex- pression, but it occasionally reveals that he has s. sed the tragedy of beautiful France, that the suffering of his country people has left a scar oa his soul. In movements he has the unconscious grace of the trained athlete. Highly developed muscles and nerves are so completely at command of his mind that he possesses an effortless poetry of mo- tion. He is, in fact, an accomplished actor from native inclination and from clear con- ception of the deghands of his role, a star performer by virtue of inheront merit.
