In the Limelight stories: 8) Milan's Ermino Spallo may challenge Dempsey for the heavyweight crown -- shot of Spallo jumping rope. Note: Lightweight Spallo looks nothing like today's heavyweights. 9) MORALITY BELT keeps your dancing-mate in his proper place -- incredibly stupid invention (3 knobs on a belt) that keeps a guy at arm's length from his dancing partner. Shot: demonstration of device. Wacky!! from Paris, France, of all places. Chastity Belt. 10) FAT WOMAN GOLFS -- no story here. Just excuse to laugh at 350 lb. woman swinging (badly) at a golf ball.
