Accepting the $21,000 first-place money, Peter Astra's owner, Dr. Lowry Miller Guilinger, a 70year-old horse-&-buggy doctor from the Ohio sticks, announced that he had just refused a foreign-syndicate offer of $37,500 for the bay colt he had bought as a yearling for $3,250.

Ladies and Gentlemen (by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, from a play by Ladislaus Bush-Fekete; produced by Gilbert Miller). Decade ago the late Minnie Maddern Fiske huffed, barked, flounced her way through a typical virtuoso's vehicle, Ladies of the Jury. Hungarian Ladislaus Bush-Fekete (né Bus-Fekete: the "h" was his idea of Americanizing the name) made a play with the same situation-a resourceful woman swinging the rest of a jury around from a verdict of guilty to acquittal in a murder case...
