Jack's Classic Profile
But yes, my good Gottlieb, you were right the first time. This IS the regal Mr. Dempsey.
The picture, which was snapped while Gentleman Jack was watching the New York police games at the Jamaica (L. I.) race track, affords a very good view of the new Dempsey proboscis—sometimes vulgarly referred to as nose.
Jack, you will remember, had his beak, which was somewhat shop-worn and distorted from careless contact with flying gloves, done over by a surgeon.
And whether our champion had his nose altered to improve his beauty, or, as he contends, to facilitate his breathing, is of slight matter.
Of more momentous consequence is the fact that Jack's handmade beezer gives him a rather wicked profile, if you know what we mean, and Jack Barrymore and Rodolph Valentino had best look to their honors.
