acting, and lauded for his great
characterizations on the screen, Victor McLaglen stars in his latest production, Universal's "3Ex-Champ,"
w3hich comes Tuesday and Wednesday.

•characterizations he enacts for the
cameras. In "3Ex-Champ" he appears as a .broken-down, ex-champion

and a worthless, snobbish son who
•disdains his father's home and his
rough and tough associates.

for a championship battle. Nan
Grey has the role of his daughter.
