Brief Synopsis

"Shows Curtis and Gordon in one of their cleverest acts. Miss Belle Gordon holds the Police Gazette medal as Champion Lady Bag Puncher of the World. The bout is a combination of popular leads and blows used by all pugilists, and the grace and ease with which Miss Gordon does a cross-under or throws an upper-cut or an under-cut at Billy Curtis, is so quick and clever that one wishes the round was three times longer. From the handshake to the finish it is refined, scientific and a genuine comedy. Belle is as frisky a little lady as ever donned a boxing outfit, and her abbreviated skirts, short sleeves and low necked waist make a very jaunty costume. Plenty of action and sure to be a great favorite."
