...Toronto, Ont., tens of thousands of sportsfolk and natives last week strained and scrambled to get a look at 45 thickly greased women, some with sketchy swimming suits, some with none, as they dove into the cool waters of Lake Ontario, swam away around a two-mile rectangular course. Before the first lap was circled. Swimmer Vivian Lee Welsh screamed, thrashed, floundered in the water. A large lamprey eel had fastened its horny teeth into her side.

...Moment (First National). Billie Dove re-establishes an oldtime tenet of picturemaking, to the effect that if an actress is good-looking enough she does not need to have stories written for her or to know how to act.

Barely a year had elapsed since that patient bird spread its wings over what was hoped to be a united nation under the banking regime. But last week the news dispatches carried the old story--the dragons of war have broken loose again and frightened the timid creature back to its Geneva sanctuary. The details are not unusual. A defeated general raises an army; a force sent...
