Burns Mn Film Hale As Darcy

Tommy Burns

Les Darcy

, CYDNEY-Plans arc being made

to star thc Australian welter-weight champion (Tommy Burns) in a film on the life of thc great Australian fighter Les Darcy.

Mr. Charles Chauvel, the film director, said Burns' film career would not end with the comple-tion of the "Sons of Matthew" film.,..

For several months, Mr. Chauvel said, he had been conducting re-search with the intention of pro-ducing a film on the life of. Darcy, and he was confident Burns had had sufficient film experience to justify giving him the role of the late champion.

With a slightly puffed eye, the only mark from his hard, eightround boiit with Eddie Marcus on Monday, Burns will resume work in the "Sons of Matthew" film to-

morrow.
