The fight is very good, well worked out, going three very fast, snappy and apparently natural rounds.
Featuring: Ernest Carr; Louis Pierce;Joe Bernstein; Kid Griffo;
"The Double Cross" as an expose of methods employed in the fighting game might be a huge success, but in its present shape for vaudeville its future is doubtful.
The trouble is not with the fight but what leads up to it. Everyone in the piece is "crooked," which takes away the interest at the start. By reason of this no one really cares which of the
fighters win and it merely becomes a
sparring exhibition. It would not require a great change to give the story a heart interest and this should be done immediately.
The cast is adequate.
