Marian ("Swede") Mansfield, 18, Northwestern University sophomore, diver, who, her own turn finished, wrapped herself in a brown blanket, sat in a camp chair ostentatiously looking in the opposite direction while her rivals sprang off the low board. Obviously the most personable contestant in the event, she was also, in the opinion of five judges, the ablest by a shade. Claudia Eckert, a mop-haired, 18-year-old Northwestern amphibian who, like famed Katherine ("Minnow") Rawls, is indiscriminately adept at all forms of aquatic competition. Last year she won the A. A.

Priced at $25 to $250, they sold fast. Seven were gone a week after the show opened. The sedate Metropolitan Museum of Art owns...
...somebody says : 'There goes Mrs. Effie Rowley. Isn't she willowy!'" She is frightened only by Indians (one of whom she suggests lynching), wrinkles, and being caught not fully dressed up to the occasion. She squeaks and coos in the approved Kentucky manner, gives Romance her blanket approval and does not mind how outrageously her daughter behaves so long as she is spared the details. Actress Douglass, whose heart is obviously in her work, conclusively endears herself to any member of the audience who has a Southern female relative when, faced with the supreme moral problem...
