...Simply -" Sirs: I beg to advise that your cinema reviews are simply -.* Two cases in point appear in TIME, Aug. 12. The one having to do with Street Girl would have kept me away from that picture. The one about The Single Standard would have fortified me in my hour of waiting to get into the Capitol to see it. The two pictures merited just the opposite treatment. Street Girl was splendid entertainment, the acting capable and mature. The other could fix the attention only of one who had never been places, who was attracted by the liquefaction of Garbo...

Now she won twelve, with a whamming overhead serve, a flashing forehand drive that made her look at least twice the Betty Nuthall that played in the U. S. two years ago. Twelve games against Big Helen Wills takes good tennis, even if Big Helen Wills takes 16 games from you meantime and wins match and cup 8?6. 8?6. "The modern forehand drive . . . means Helen Wills," laughed sporting Betty Nuthall...
