...Lawn Tennis Club was Wilmer Hines of Columbia, S. C., another, Charles Harris of West Palm Beach, Fla. Harris lost his match to Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, who had beaten Leonard Patterson of Los Angeles the day before, but those were the only points East won. Hines thrashed saturnine Manuel Alonso, onetime Spanish Davis Cup star, playing for the East, 6-3, 7-5, and the series ended...
...been a painful disappointment. Not since 1926 has the U. S. won the Davis Cup. For the past two years the ablest amateur tennist in the world has been that convivial young Englishman, Frederick John Perry, who last week made his 1935 U.

When he began Don Quixote it was with the intention of caricaturing this country squire. Foiled in his attempts at a more glorious career, Cervantes turned to letters, published his first book (Galatea...
...conversation adapted for the screen by Jane Murfin and Harry Wagstaff Gribble still crackles. Constance Bennett's mannerisms and her loud voice, possibly a shade more metallic than she intends it to be, become her part. Violet Kemble-Cooper and Gilbert Roland (Luis Antonio Damaso De Alonso, son of a Spanish bullfighter), are the other most noticeable members of an expert cast, expertly directed by George Cukor...
