...returned to the centre court at Wimbledon, Cochet argued like a tired attorney. He won the first two games, but after that the debonair and biting edge of his game disappeared. Allison, stubborn, strong, insistent, won the first set 6-4 and then the second, by the same score.

With "Music Writer," two or three pianists may view a cinema in projection; each record silently (the device is demountable) his improvised score for a film, transpose it to paper in a few hours. Ready for marketing in September, "Music Writer" is beyond the wallets of traditionally impecunious geniuses. Installation on any upright or baby grand piano, with one year's service, will cost $475. Distributors are J. O. Fisher Co Manhattan...
