...footed, rubber-hipped dance from the musicomedy Gay Divorce. ¶Arrested three weeks ago for "uttering, knowing the contents thereof to be false, a letter demanding money from the King, with menaces," one Clarence Guy Gordon-Haddon, 43, unemployed engineer and War veteran, was committed for trial in Old Bailey court last week by a reluctant Crown...
...shut their eyes to the fiercest kind of rough-&-tumble while Bostonians screeched their delight. In the second period Toronto's truculent "Red" Homer crashed into Boston's "Eddie" Shore, sent him sprawling against the boards. Shore picked himself up, skated straight into Toronto's "Ace" Bailey.

It is notable less for Bancroft's contribution than for its villainess (Frances Dee), a pretty, well-mannered debutante who is also a masochist, a kleptomaniac and an exhibitionist. Good shot...
