...scene which for its power to embarrass the audience took rank with anything recently produced by the cinema-Miss Eilers pressing to her lips various portions of a layette, including baby-shoes. Her baby died soon after birth, filling her with jealousy of her husband's exwife. To conquer her jealousy she cooperates with her husband to make Miss Vinson, by a legal technicality, give up custody of Karol Kay.

S. professional championship (match play) which he has won two times since 1922. Last fortnight, officials of the Professional Golfers Association, eager to have Sarazen in the field, offered to qualify him automatically. Sarazen, against anything that might make his record less than perfect, declined. Last week he went to the Rockville Centre Country Club (L. I.) to play in the sectional qualifying round...
