...paddle arriving Sons of the Desert when they stoop to pick it up. This trick he considers a "darb." In Sons of the Desert, Charley Chase makes his first appearance in a full length picture. His rôle shows him to less advantage than the series of two-reel Hal Roach comedies which, since 1930, have made him one of Hollywood's most famed funnymen. Charley Chase's value, like that of most cinema comedians, is his appearance. He is a pale, clerical, common place individual whose manners should match his unobtrusive looks. Instead, he is equipped...
...Chase has been in the cinema since 1912, when he made his first picture for Universal. He was $5-per-day extra for Keystone, before he became a Keystone director, an actor for Hal Roach in 1925. As officious offscreen as on, Chase writes and directs his own two-reel comedies. He planned and helped build his own bungalow in Hollywood. His hair, which photographs black, is as grey as Charlie Chaplin's. He dresses foppishly, plays seven musical instruments, currently receives more fan mail than any other comedian in cinema...
Notably, the blocking was very weak. Harvard gave its carriers extraordinarily poor support. Again and again fast men like Allie Sherman, Pesky, and Adzigian were expected to do all the work in making first downs.

They called him "horse mackerel and cursed him when, bulking 200 to 800 lb. with the power and speed of a steam engine, he barged into their pound nets and tore them up. Rod & reel fishermen taught the commercial men to call the monster by his right name, tuna. "With their sporting...
Doughty shark-hunters, we view disdainfully the "exciting experience" of Mr. Holzman of Cincinnati, who reports in these columns (TIME, Aug. 21) how he was roused from his absorption in TIME by the whirring sound of an unwinding reel and forgot all else as he "found and finally landed" a mere 3½-lb. bass. I happened to be reading TIME and Mr. Holzman's letter during a shark-hunt off Lewes, Del., when I was roused by a shout from one of our party: "I got one!" He was Herluf Provensen, who was presidential announcer...
