Little Theatre Group
Stages Show at Station
Saturday evening the Stratford
Little Theatre presented its new
play, "The Male Animal", in the
theatre at RCAF Station, Clinton.
"The Male Animal", a comedy
in three acts is currently having
a successful run in New York
where Elliot Nuget is starring as
Tommy Turner: The play was
written by the late James Thurber
and Elliot Nugent for the latter.
It involves the troubles of an
English professor •at a small mid-
western university when he de-
cides to read to his class a letter
by Vanzetti, an Italian -American
anarchist, executed i n 1927 for
murder. The plot becomes fur-
ther involved by the arrival of
Mrs. Turner's ex -boy friend,
Mrs. Marionne Johnston did an
exceptional job of directing this
year's production. It was neces-
sary for her to make a special
trip to New York in December to
obtain Mr. Nugent's permission to
stage the play. It was presented
originally in 1940 but was revised
in the spring of last year. Little
Theatre groups are normally not
permitted to produce a current
hit.
Excellent performances were
given by E. G. Neigh as the Pro-
fessor.
This is the fifth time the Strat-
ford Little Theatre has produced
the play and the first of their
road appearances. ,
Flowers . were presented after
the performance to Mrs. Irwin and
Mrs. Johnston by AW1 R. N.
Flynn and LAW McEmin.
362 million ice cream cones
were made in Canada last year.
Checked His Hat;
His Bride
' de
Acting. Pilot Officer Derek
Brennan is engaged to be married
to a girl in England because he
checked his hat in Chicago.
The 21 -year-old English NATO
student at No. 2 Air Navigation
School, Winnipeg, wandered into
the USO Centre in Chicago on
April 22 on leave from his base.
His name was called as the win-
ner of a hatcheck contest staged
by the "Women of the Moose",
The prize was a free telephone
call to anywhere in the United
States.
But Derek had thoughts only
for one person, 19 -year-old Marg-
aret Byett in Chaddefden, Derby-
shire, his tometown.
Being good sports,. the "Women
of the Moose" paid the bill for the
trans-Atlantic telephone call.
Derek 'got through, and talked
excitedly to Margaret. The first
thing he knew, be was proposing.
"Gosh, she said 'yes'," Derek ex-
claimed afterward. "We're going
to get married as soon as 1: get
out of the service and back home
—in about a year."
Before enlisting, Derek was an
aero engineer with the Roils
Royce company for five years. He
enlisted in the RAF, on June 17,
last year, and arrived in Winnipeg
last December.

THE CaLvttt SPORTS C'OLUMO
seme4 7e'taam
When the - former heavyweight fistic
champion, Jim Jeffries, died recently, there
was unleashed a flood of reminiscences. Half-
forgotten names from a glamorous era of the
ring came bobbing to the surface, names like
Gentleman Jim Corbett, Boh Fitzsimmons,
,Toe Choynski, and others.
But one name, and an important one, in
its association with Jeffries, was overlooked entirely. And
since the forgotten man is a Canadian and the only Canadian
•who ever held the world heavyweight fistic title, I'd like to
devote a Calvert column to Tommy Burns, the forgotten. man.
Tommy Burns was born in 1881 in the little town of
Hanover, Ontario, of German Canadian parents, His real name
was Noah Brosso. And his association with the great Jeffries
developed this way: Jeffries retired in 1904, but agreed to
referee, and donate his title to the winner of a match between
Marvin Hart and Jack Root. Hart won, was named champion,
but less than a year later, again with Jeffries refereeing, Burns
defeated Hart and became champion. Jeffries refereed when
Burns defeated Philadelphia Jack O'Brien.
Though he weighed only 175 pounds, Burns feared no one.
There came from Australia to America in 1907 a giant of a
man, Bill Squires, fearsome in looks, backed by an imposing
record. American heavyweights steered clear of Squires. But
not Burns. He signed to risk his title against the scowling,
' strong -jawed giant. Squires was made a 3-1 favourite, and
fans of the day felt sorry for Burns, but they turned out in
great numbers at Colma, Cal., and brought along cushions to
make themselves comfortable as they watched what was billed
as a 45 -round match.
It didn't last that long. When the bell rang, Burns moved
swiftly out of his corner, swung a right to the jaw of the
Australian. That was the end. Squires was out.
Burns was a busy fighter. In the two years he held the
title, he fought 12 times as champion, in America, England,
Ireland and Australia. 11 times he won, but in the 12th, he
was knocked out by Jack Johnson, who thus became champ-
ion. Johnson, who had dodged a meeting with another Can-
adian heavyweight, Sam Langford, in order to get a chance
at the title, weighed 20 pounds more than Burns. He beat
Tommy badly, and broke his ribs, but the Canadian gamester
kept valiantly at it until, in the fourteenth round, the police
stepped in and stopped the fight.
It was then that Burns really gained recognition — as
"former champion". Ile had earned his title long before, Future
generitions will remember Burns for one thing, if for no other.
Until Joe Louis came along he held the record for defending
his title more times than any other heavyweight charnpion.
