Since the days when its left-handed Lew Tendler used to fight Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard so regularly that the names of the two fighters sounded like the title of a corporation, Philadelphia has always had at least one first-rate functioning fighter of one sort or another. Tendler, now a 180-lb. restaurateur, is the manager of Philadelphia's latest pugilistic hope, a large blond Italian named Al Ettore.

Musical cinemas seemed doomed until Harry Warren and Al Dubin turned out the tunes for Forty-Second Street, went on to do Footlight Parade, Gold Diggers of 1933, Wonder Bar, Twenty Million Sweethearts.
