...Warner). This story is taken from a musical comedy popular several years ago -something about a football player who had gone into the bond business, and his boss, and the boss's wife, and his secretary. There were good tunes in it; you heard them wherever you went to dance that summer. The tunes are gone from this version, also the chorus with big hats and little parasols, but the musical comedy atmosphere is left, inconsequential and agreeable. Before the football player has married the secretary and escaped the trap the boss was laying for him, you have stopped...
...Jacobs able to use it. There was no drama as once there had been when Miss Wills, winning, was suddenly unnerved, defeated by the swarthy Suzanne Lenglen, who found new strength and boldness by drinking a glass of brandy. Helen Wills last week was simply the best woman tennis player at Wimbledon and she won. She played, in all, twelve sets of singles, losing none, dropping only 16 games...

Golf gave one of Dr. Horace Gray's (Chicago) middle-aged patients a pain in the back. Then another patient came in with the same sort of ache at the base of his spine. And shortly a third. But the last was a polo player. The three were enough for Dr. Gray to decide that he had discovered a new recreational malady - wrenched backs in men between 35 and 45 - and he hastened last week to notify the profession. Quick swings of the polo mallet twist stiffened spines. In golf the cause is the "brisk, snappy twist...
