...have time" to defend her title at Wimbledon last week, Betty Nuthall was the favorite to win the British Women's Championship. Her chief competitors were Helen Jacobs of Santa Monica, Calif., second ranking U. S. woman player in 1929; cocktail-drinking, tango-dancing Senorita Elia ("Lili") de Alvarez, who twice lost to Helen Wills in the Wimbledon finals; and Mrs. Lawrence A. Harper, first ranking U. S. woman player, a Californian with a hard left-handed drive, who lost to Betty Nuthall in the finals of the U. S. championships at Forest Hills last summer...

...Hundred Years Old. The happy simplicity of this play, which concerns a Spanish patriarch who arranges and enjoys his 100th birthday party, is like a benison softly spoken in the clangor and fret of Broadway. Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero, playwright-brothers of Madrid, might easily have drenched it in tears of sentimentality, but the best proof that their play avoids pathos is the fact that the old man does not die in the last act. Having convinced his fastidious, fortunate descendants that all the family, including Antonon, who is a truck-gardener and Gabriella, who has borne an illegitimate...
