...because the producers have been concealing from him their mad shifts and hair-breadth escapes from destruction. But the dangers springing from his violent disposition make the real play all the more exciting, and the comedy-writer's license takes care of the rest. So we see Gordon Miller, hare-brained producer, catching hold of Leo Davis, rustic playwright, rifling his pockets, pawning his typewriter, putting him to bed on account of measles with tape-worm complications, starving him almost to death and then making him play dead besides, all because nobody has any money and it wouldn...
Jean (Vincent Price) is the fourth-generation butler and valet to the Mariassy family. Old Count Mariassy (Lumsden Hare), perennially in-&-out Prime Minister of Hungary, cannot so much as button his waistcoat without Jean's help, boasts that in this admirably efficient and self-effacing young man he has the perfect servant. What is the Mariassy family's dismay to discover that Jean has been elected to Parliament as a Socialist deputy. The first shock over, Count Mariassy is rather tickled, but his daughter (Elissa Landi) is furious. Jean continues to serve as loyal valet, but things...
...foreign field seemed to present a more effective picture. It was one of the largest and best to appear at Forest Hills in recent years, including Japan's No. 1 Jiro Yamagishi, France's No. 2 Yvon Petra, England's No. 2 Charles Edgar Hare. England's No. 1 Bunny Austin was not there, but Budge had already given him a conclusive beating this year in the Davis Cup challenge round. The player who seemed to stand firmly in Donald Budge's path, however, was none of these. At Forest Hills for the first time...
...longest Davis Cup challenge-round singles set on record is the 17-15 one which red-haired Maurice McLoughlin won from Norman Brookes in 1914. Last week at Wimbledon, when another red-haired Californian, Donald Budge, played husky Charles Edgar Hare of England in the 1937 Davis Cup challenge round, the games seesawed with service up to 13-all before Budge finally broke through to win. What made the set more remarkable was that Hare, England's No. 2, had been considered barely able enough to make Budge stretch his long legs. Even when Budge ran out the next...
They did better by winning both, clinching the Cup by 4 matches to 1. Parker, playing some of the surest tennis of his career, almost blasted Hare, wildly smashing and volleying, off the court (6-2, 6-4, 6-2). In what then amounted to an exhibition match, Donald Budge easily outplayed Bunny Austin (8-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3). Thus the Cup put up in 1900 by Dwight Filley Davis was returned to the U. S., for the first time since 1926, by the youngest U. S. Cup team in history...
