...heavyweight pugilists. It might have helped clear things up except for the fact that one of Schaaf's two managers is Champion Jack Sharkey and the other is Champion Sharkey's manager, fat Johnny Buckley. Next bout on the Schaaf program would properly be against huge Primo Camera with the winner to meet Sharkey for the title. This prospect seemed drab because 1) Sharkey has already beaten Camera, 2) it would seem improper for Schaaf to fight his own comanager. As a preliminary step toward straightening out the difficulty, Manager Buckley last week agreed to cancel his contract...

She has refused to tell her husband's name because, she says, his superior officer is still in the R. F. C. and might be punished for permitting the pictures to be taken "against army regulations...
...were missing-War's Good, Treasury's Mellon. Commerce's Lamont, Labor's Davis. The President sat down, hunched up his left shoulder. Vice President Curtis and Secretary of the Treasury Mills swung right leg over left, Secretary of War Hurley, left leg over right. Camera shutters clucked.

Harry fish-peddler, who looked like a pigmy in the ring with his 6-ft. yin. 270-lb. opponent. In the first round, an upward right-hand sweep from Kingfish Levinsky landed on the side of the pendulous Camera jaw, caused the monstrous Camera knees to buckle. Thereafter, wary and furious by turns, using all his weight, reach and slight knowledge of tactics, Carnera managed to maul, push, lambaste Levinsky enough...
Technically, they say, the French are not the equals of the California engineers, but one has some doubts. The use of music throughout the film shows an imagination, an originality, and an ability to fit the music to the tempo which American films lack. The use of the camera, particularly in the opening scenes showing deck tennis, is equal to Hollywood's best, though not quite up to the standards so definitely set by the serious Germans. In chase scenes, a direct outgrowth of the Mack Sennet tradition, the director outdoes himself in making the sequences, tense with suspense...
