After showing off so graciously in front of the hundreds of admirers who met him at the station, Seabiscuit, taken to his stable, relapsed like any normal five-year-old, made an ugly face (see cut, p. 24) when his groom started to give him his bath...
...active as a malted-milk mixer, Welles is for all that very heavyset, his adolescent moon face slowly beginning to resemble a Roman Emperor's. Told he looks Roman, he asks interestedly: "Do you mean sensual?" His own description of himself: "I look like the dog-faced boy." Troubled by his asthma, untroubled by his flat feet, Welles gets a little exercise walking and fencing, most by directing and rehearsing. He starts off a Falstaffian meal with a dozen oysters, tops it off with a big black 75?cigar...
...editor of the London Criterion and the most gift-stricken poet of his time is a tall man with a large, pale face, gentle, cavernous dark eyes, a Roman beak, cub ears and a meditative mouth. He has a famous aversion to being photographed and never until this spring had he sat for an important portrait in oils. Last week the completed Portrait of T. S.

...m.p.h. At such velocities air resistance becomes a considerable factor. At the American Physical Society's convention in Washington last week, Physicist Sylvan Jay Crooker of Purcellville, Va. reported that air resistance may be diminished fifteenfold by scientific streamlining of the club head, the shape (except for the face of the club) conforming to airship hull contours tested in wind tunnels. Declared Dr. Crooker: "Dynamic and ballistic analyses, checked by field tests, prove the low-resistance [streamlined] club increases the free flight distance of the golf ball by 15 yards, which means a golfer like Jimmy Thomson using...
...Rhythm," a leavened version of O. Henry's "The Badge of Policeman O'Roon," bases its claim for attention on the physical vigor, imperviousness to hard falls, and mobile face of Beatrice Lillie. The action spirals about the efforts of Lorelei Dodge-Blodgett (Miss Lillie) and Bill Rensem (Bing Crosby) to wither the romance of her niece with a gambler. The check rein of Will Hayes may be partially responsible for Miss Lillie's failure to amuse as readily on the screen as on the stage. The ocillades and gestures on which she relies appear only crude before the camera...
