...most popular planes for British hopping & skipping are the De Haviland Moths, "Puss" and "Gypsy." Harold J. L. ("Bert") Hinkler flew a Puss Moth on his startling South Atlantic hop last autumn. Last month James A. Mollison in a Gypsy hung up a new record (4 days, 17 hr., 19 min.) from England to Capetown, another well-pounded Empire race course. Britain's Amy Johnson and Peggy Salaman fly Moths. A Gypsy cruises at 90 m.p.h., a Puss a little faster.

Good shot: a fat person (Bert Roach) softly crying "Help!" as he tries, with two straws, to extricate a cherry from a drink...

The juvenile is Charles ("Buddy") Rogers of Olathe, Kan., who plays indifferently on several musical instruments and was until lately his country's cinematic Boy Friend. The ingénue is a tall blond named June Knight. Bert Lahr, whose large following is convulsed by his funny faces and mispronunciations, is the comedian and Lynne Overman (Dancing Partners) is more or less his foil. The siren is a dark mite with a great big smile, Cinemactress Lupe Velez. Her shapely shoulders are burdened with that part of the show which Mr. Lahr...
...Bert Haines, Freshman crew coach, took the first trip at 2.30 o'clock, setting a course up the river beyond the Cambridge Hospital, where the ice became so thick that further progress was impossible. Haines hopes to have the floats put down by the early part of next week, and expects to get the shells in the water as soon as possible thereafter...
