...than is a dinner platter. Taking its name from Sir Alfred Harmsworth, later Baron Northcliffe, who donated it as an international speedboat trophy early in the century, the Harmsworth is a cheap bronze plaque, perhaps 15 by 18 inches, and mounted on a bar wood base. It represents a bit of rough water and an early speedboat, more resembling a fishing dory than anything else, going around a course buoy. Sports writers out of Detroit may be excused for misnaming the trophy because of the fact that for 13 years the bronze has rarely left the precincts of the Detroit...

Mr. Cook is Broadway Joe, beloved hansom cab driver and a horse's best friend, a devotion which ultimately elects him Mayor of New York. His first appearance is made in front of Rector...
...Golden Harvest," this week's feature at the Metropolitan, is a mild bit of adventure apparently inspired by the time-honored farm problem. The producers give taint intimations of attempting an epic but, being unable to solve the problem of surplus wheat any better than a Farm Beard, they content themselves with merigages and government aid for the farmers...
...play, I cannot compare; that is fortunate, for one frequently finds fault with movies because they are not faithful reproductions. Much of the picture is painfully realistic: in places it seems to lack a swiftness of touch usually attained on the stage, and the debonair Montgomery is a bit out of his element as a heavy. However, I can recommend "Another Language" without reservations. Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery perform ably and are assisted by an excellent group of actors in minor roles...
