Unlike Chicago's Black Belt, Harlem's businesses are run practically without Negro participation. A handful of professional blacks live in the fine old Stanford White block known as Strivers Row. In good times they aped the manners of Park Avenue, subscribed to a social register, gave their daughters debut parties. Theatrical folk like Duke Ellington, sporting characters like Harry Wills, live farther north in Sugar Hill. But even Harlem's unique assets are flagrantly exploited by whites. Jews own the successful colored bands, the Cotton Club, the Savoy Ball Room, all Harlem's saloons...
...Annapolis. Now stationed at Shanghai, he was unable to help his brothers last week. Ray Ruddy, most famed member of the family at present and usually considered the ablest water poloist in the world, is 22. He has won the President's Cup for seven years in a row, swum on two Olympic teams, won the National Long Distance Championship for six years in a row. Now a coal salesman, he swims only in his spare time. Consequently, he was on the sidelines last week at the start of the semifinal game between his club and the Central Queens...
...into a second-rate heavyweight. A few surprising victories over highly touted prospects like "Tuffy"' Griffiths and John Henry Lewis did him more harm than good by making managers of other fighters wary of him, limiting his adversaries to third-and fourth-raters.

Van Winkle, 2nd; 7, Edmund S. Twining, Jr.; 6, Douglas Erickson; 5, John S. Radway; 4, Scott; 3, John Gardiner; 2, Clark; bow, Peter T. Brooks...
Gold Diggers of 1935 (Warner) should go far toward verifying the suspicion that Director Busby Berkeley's bizarre cinematic dance routines have lost all but academic interest. His masterpiece this time is a tableau in which a double row of white pianos, at which chorus girls sit waving their hands as though playing waltzes, waver, spin, undulate and finally assemble into a platform on which Gloria Stuart does a tap dance. Cinemaddicts who feel that this represents a perceptible improvement on Berkeley's shadow waltz in Gold Diggers of 1933 are likely also to enjoy the presentation...
