STAR IN WRESTLING .RING FARRELL IN "FLYING DOCTOR” SCENE. SYDNEY, Feb. .1. Last night a tall, good-looking young man went “all out” in the ring at Leitchhardt Stadium. He applied toeholds and headlocks, and in turn had them applied to him. Thus Charles Farrell proved that Hollywood heroes could ‘ ‘take it.’ ’ After the wrestling contest had concluded the “Flying Doctor” company, in which picture Farrell is to appear, took possession of the ring and the big crowd were invited to slay and view the shooting of a sequence of the film. Farrell, who wore long, grey tights and black trunks, was opposed to ..Jack Clarke, well-known professional wrestler, who, for the purpose of the picture, was called Pop Snitzl-er. In the fifth round of the bout Farrell’s hand was tastefully decorated with blood stains, and when the towel came in from his corner and the match was awarded to Clarke by the Stadium referee, Mr. Jim McMaster, the star, showed that he knew the ethics of wrestling by attacking the referee.
