...Sheridan Downey had been bitten hard by the bug of social uplift and his activities had been noticed by politicians. These men, plus Sheridan Downey's middle-aged social inspiration, plus the Moon, have made him a significant character in the transitional political year...
Publicity gags of press agents are always good for another picture when Hollywood production schedules are lagging. Latest edition of this stock subject is "Garden of the Moon." Even the angle adopted here, the creation of a fake Indian maharaja to help plug an unknown orchestra, is anything but the result of a brilliant inspiration.

One was bespectacled George Edward Thomas Eyston, 41-year-old retired British Army captain, the defending champion. The other was moon-faced John Cobb, 37-year-old London fur broker, the challenger. Over Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, considered the most satisfactory auto-racing strip in the world,* the two Englishmen, with no more fanfare than two moppets sliding down a hill to see who could go farther, took turns to see who could come closer to traveling six miles a minute-and incidentally...
