Regardless of man-eating sharks which infest their waters, robust Australians cockily make sea-swimming their favorite sport. Since a shark digests an Australian in a few days, it was major Commonwealth news when a huge tiger shark, thrashing around under the eyes of fascinated bathers in an aquarium near Coogee Beach, suddenly spewed up the contents of its stomach including an undigested human arm tattooed with two boxers wearing red shorts...
...evening last week Professor Griffin wanted more robust diversion. Therefore he closed his books, called up a friend and went to a shabby Boston night club called "The Brown Derby."

Ruddy, blue-eyed and handsome, he was once picked by famed Anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka as the ideal type of "future American." ("What are they trying to do, make...
...were no individual stars, all playing their parts to perfection. Mr. Jaffee was a very vain and effeminate villain, pursuing the beauteous Miss Hoyden (Mr. Cummin), who did not care to whom she surrendered her irksome virginity. Mr. Gross made a handsome young hero, while Mr. Gaggin was a robust father of the heroine. Playing his part with feeling, Mr. Kuhlke made a fine man of doubtful virility. Also not to be forgotten were Mr. Rabenold, who was perfect as the hero's young servant, and Mr. Humphreys, who made a vigorous old nurse...
