Weight, speed, endurance and previous experience necessarily count in this first game of the season. The Cantabs, at the end of their season, will have all of these. An International match, the game on the 26th in the Stadium will have 45-minute halves! Since there are no time-outs and no substitutions in rugby, the Crimson will have to field fifteen men who are fast, who know the game well, and are able to take...
School figures count two-thirds in the championship. With the terror and tension of school figures behind them, the five little pretenders were more relaxed the next night when they competed in the free-skating competition, a spirited five-minute exhibition of varied steps skated to music. Free skating is Audrey Peppe's forte. To the tune of the Hungarian Rhapsody, she delighted the crowd with flaring spins, jumps, dance steps.

...Cooper dons Marco's 13th-Century raiment, crosses desert, sea & mountain only to find, in a remarkable conception of old Peking, George Barbier dressed up as Kublai Khan. Historically, Kublai Khan was China's strong man, who conquered all of China & ruled more subjects than he could count. Producer Goldwyn's Cathay is pretty thoroughly under the well-manicured thumb of Basil Rathbone, a saturnine, bewhiskered minister of state. And Producer Goldwyn's Marco Polo finds career enough for any Venetian in naïve, unkissed Princess Kukachin, with her wide-set eyes, parted, quivering lips...
