...cashier, young Ivan. Next morning they find .themselves, with a large wad of government money, and in a most regrettable condition, on the train to Leningrad. Horrified, they immediately get drunk again. Never quite sober, always refusing to face the fact, they wander about Leningrad from hotel to nightclub, from the city to the country, and finally, in despairing, shaky soberness, return to Moscow and jail. A typical scene...

Something about his attitude suddenly gave the people at the ringside the shocking realization that he was unconscious. Later that night after Sharkey, jubilant, had gone to a nightclub with his wife, the rumor that Loughran had died of the punch on his way out of the stadium led friends to call up his manager, one Joseph Smith, who said "Oh my God, no, no, no."

This is not surprising because daughter and mother have not seen each other since the one's babyhood and the other's flaming youth. Also, because the mother, as a nightclub hostess, is in mulatto makeup much of the time.

Best shot: Miss Dresser making the no-good slap...
