By KEN JES3AMY We are wondering whether John Henry Lewis is anxious now to en ter the heavyweight ranks.A few weeks ago he absorbed a ter rific beating from Isadore Gastan aga, the Cuban heavyweight. Lewis was bounced twice, in the first round and dropped for the nine count in the third.He man aged to last the distance, but lost the verdict by a wide margin.It is interesting to note that despite the fact that Gastanga kayoed Pack and decisioned Lewis he, is far from the top of the heavy weight list....Another interesting sidelight on the light heavyweight situation ;is this.A1 Weill, matchmaker for the 20th Century Sporting Club, has offered Lewis 45 per cent of the gate to fight 1 Tiger Jack Fox, Spokane Wash- i ington battler, in a championship j tilt Fox has been dogging the steps of the titleholder but to date Gus Greenlee, the champion’s manager, has refused all offers to meet Fox... ..Fox is sure that he ■can dethrone the champion and is •willing to take 5 per cent of the gate.Under ordinary circum stances, the challenger would re ceive 12 per cent, Because his great grand father was a valet for the first president of Cornell, Brud Holland s receiv ing his tuition free at that institu tion.....The pi-esident, in his will set aside money for the purpose of educating any male member of the Holland family.Holland will rate high in football circles at the end of the season.Another sepia who is going great is Wilmeth Sidat Singh, who is the son of a Harlem physician.He is the best hall heaver Syracuse has had in ages.He and Marty Hickman, of track fame, are proving a win ning combination.Sidat Singh first received attention when he was one of DeWitt Clinton, high school ace basketball stars.He will also be on Syracuse’s quintet this fall. King Kong Matthews, Harlem's latest kayo idol, tangled with Yus tin Sirutis at the Rockland Palace his week.Sirutis boasts that he has never been defeated by a color ed fighter.In his last bout, with Tiger Jack Fox, Sirutis after being dropped three times in the first round, came on to earn a draw.

When tne sale opens on Thanks giving Day, Seals, together with a letter, will be delivered by the school children to homes in assign ed districts. By this means, each family In the community is given an opportunity to buy Christmas Seals and to aid the Nebraska Tu berculosis Association’s drive to bring health and happiness to all. This year the town crier on the Christmas Seal will ring a message of thankfulness for what has been accomplished in the cause of health. 1H0 will also ring from coast to coast, the call for united work dur ing the Seal Sale. “It seems fitting 1 that his call should be reinforced by other bell music upon the oc J casion of the opening of the Seal Sale and the beginning of the holi day season,’ Miss Alice. Marshall, executive secretary of the Nebras ka Tuberculosis Association, states. Accordingly a teaching unit in interpretive music has been sent to every rural school teacher taking part in the Seal Sale, and will be used throughout the campaign on programs given by the students. This unit was prepared for the na tional association by Mrs. Satis N. Coleman of Columbia university, New York City, and features among other musical instruments, bells and the art of bSll ringing.

NBDRO PRB38 ] " THE BULWARK OF THE GOPHERS," THIS HUSKY MINNESOTAN FURNISHES PLENTY OF ACTION FOR HIS MI6HTY TEAM. ANOTHER CHHOIOATE\ OF COLOR FOR ALL — AMERICA. \ Fills Order For 200 Negro Actors While Central Casting Bureau serves major motion picture stu dios with many of their calls for extra film players to be used in large productions demanding crowds for atmosphere scenes, such as ‘Marco Polo,’ ‘Hurricane,’ ‘They Won't Die,’ and the like, Holly wood finds a unique and convenient service in the Chudnow Artist Agency, as Ben Carter supplies Ne gro bit and feature players of high er class to most of the larger stu dios producing in Hollywood. Interviewed this week in his new ly decorated branch office in West Temple where talent scouts bring in new recruits whose acts must be whipped into shape by Carter and his associates, or rehearsals of con tract players are held before stu dio directors see them, Carter de clared the current week a record breaker for the employment of col ored acts, feature actors and act resses, and bit players in the mov ies. On his beautiful mahogany and i ivory desk, set imposing in one | corner of the studio-office, rested orders calling for more than 200 j actors, singers, and dancers. They came from Fox and Hal Roach studios: Warner Brothers, Major, Monogi-am, and Sol Lesser Produc tion companies. A healthy sign for the success of the agency is the fact that all play rs are required to join the Screen Actors Guild before signing up for picture work. This not only helps the actor, Carter pointed out, but it keeps up the standard of motion picture performances up to the pu blic demand for the best in its screen fare. *‘I am happy to say,” Carter be gan, “that there is no jim crow in motion picture work. Our players must meet the same requirements that other players meet. If anyone thinks to the contrary, he simply does not get into the film colony. Our pny is set by the guild and we do not have to haggle over costs and wages, making bad feeling on one hand, taking the artist’s mind off his work on the other. I, myself am a member of the guild and am very proud of it,” he said. “We conform strictly to all guild and union regulations set forth for mo tion picture players.” AFTER 45 Very often as you grow older your digestive sys L tcm becomes deficient I and your blood can not ft get the proper nourish m ment.

Paul dances, sings and acts, has travelled with Ted Lewis and his band as one of the celebrated en tertainers ‘shadows,” and speaks every dialect one hears around the streets of Gotham. Universal picked up this clever boy as Carter displayed his wares, gave him a trial in “Adventure’s End ” later rewarded him with a contract. 1 Paul’s little sister, Meredith, also under Carter’s management, is no small fry when it comes to screen acting, herself. She. made her debut .with credit in “You Can’t Have Everything.” Both the talented youngsters live with their mother, Mrs. Mable Ho ward, on North Benton Way, at tend the public schools where Paul rates excellent grades in Virgil Junior high.
