...Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Night after night when dampness has flushed the black-dark woods and scents are strong and clear, hounds run in Missouri. Practicing one of the oldest U. S. sports, their masters sit around bonfires in convenient clearings, following the hunt of their bugle-voiced foxhounds by ear alone. Of this breed was Bugle Ann, a real bugler, rare even among its own kind, about which MacKinlay Kantor wrote his short best-selling novel, played in the picture by a prize bitch from the pack of Sheriff Tom Bash of Kansas City, Mo. Bitch, to be sure...
Last week: The China Clipper finally got away again. For 13 hours she butted head winds. Then, having gone 1,000 miles, Capt. Musick cocked an ear at a bad report from Hawaii, scooted back to Alameda...
...miles from Wausau, is the 12,000-acre silver fox ranch of Fromm Bros., world's largest breeders of bright silver foxes. There last fortnight blond blue-eyed Edward Fromm auctioned off more than 7,500 silver fox pelts for some $540,000. Buyers, fur-capped and ear-muffed, enjoyed their junket.

But this choice is just a matter of opinion, and besides, clumsy word accounts fall hopelessly short of Chaplin's elusive mirth. Drop whatever you're doing...
...condition of the run, which U. S. Driver Hubert Stevens described as "unsound" and 2) the bad effect on it of U. S. runners, which are sharper than those of European bobsleds. Most romantic casualty of the week was Donna Fox, a Bronx undertaker who, after sustaining a bruised ear when his sled tipped over on a curve, ungraciously blamed the accident on the poor construction of the run. Fastest practice runs of the week were made by Hubert Stevens, who won the two-man event at Lake Placid in 1932, and Reto Capadrutt of Switzerland, both of whom averaged...
