Fashions in Love (Paramount). Like all plays good enough to be imitated but not good enough to be classics, The Concert by Herman Bahr, presented long ago on the legitimate stage by Leo Ditrichstein, has been discredited by inept adaptations of some of its best effects. Fashions in Love is the screen name for The Concert. By any name it remains a very good farce. It is concerned with the marital infidelities of an elderly and temperamental pianist whose wife gets him back by the not wholly startling method of pretending to be in love with the husband...
...principally in words English, French, Hindu, Indian, Chinese. It is played by an orchestra, on reeds, on drums and a solo saxophone. It shows settings of the Khyber Pass, London, San Francisco, the Sudanese desert. It records the whirr of airplane propellers and another noise which sounds a good deal the same but is only camel-neighing. It contains love scenes, whiskey-drinking, and such lines as ''We are two dots in the loneliness" and "The night by the oasis when I read in your eyes." The cast, especially Gilbert Emery as one of those film detectives...
...hours getting the record of the disaster, the list of survivors. When Radio Corp. absorbed American Marconi, Mr. Sarnoff, the Commercial Manager, retained his position. He became General Manager in 1921, Vice President in 1922. Now he is a world figure. While his great and good friend, Owen D.

...pure water for his product-sold more than 1,200,000 barrels per annum-employed 800 men-refused 40 million dollars for his business in 1912. Shocked, astounded at the advent of Prohibition, he turned to near-beer as a makeshift, continued to hope for a return to the good days. He died, 92 years old, in 1927, left in his will a clause asking his heirs to carry on his business, and, "if legally possible [to carry it on] as formerly conducted by me." Last March George Ehret Jr., died. The seven remaining heirs, headed by Louis Ehret, struggled...
...times' sake, and because such victories as were hers were more bitterly earned, Mrs. May Sutton Bundy more than Helen Wills was Wimbledon's idol last week. She, before the enthusiastic eyes of William Tatem Tilden II (who murmured, "It's too good to be true") and to the anguished exhortations of her nine-year-old daughter (the youngest of four), defeated England's hard-hitting Eileen Bennett 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. British newspapers reprinted oldtime photographs taken when Mrs. Bundy, then May Sutton, became Wimbledon's first U. S. champion...
