Asteroids are members of the solar system, revolving about the sun in orbits between Mars and Saturn and hence visible the greater part of the time. Comets on the other hand, follow ellipse-shaped orbits of great size, entering the solar system only at intervals of years. The fact that Hidalgo has not been seen since 1921 tends to show that it is a comet, but further observations will be necessary before this conclusion can be definitely established...
...pictures made to follow the book even fairly closely, "The Count of Monte Cristo" as a film does a welcome justice to Dumas. In spite of the whispered query of the garrulous lady who came in during the prison scene, sat down behind your reviewer and with a sigh asked if this picture had anything to do with Dante's Inferno, the work of newcomer Robert Donta as Edmund Danta was refreshingly outstanding.

He uses nervous, snapping strokes, starts his racket near the ball, curtails his follow-through. His most outstanding shot is a forehand drive executed on a rising ball as he runs toward the net. He volleys with more power than finesse, serves hard but without either the finality or the waste of energy that characterizes U. S. players like Vines or Shields. Two years ago Perry...
