In August 1933 when workmen were blasting a new motor road along the west shore of the lake, the monster was first "seen."

They lead up to the climactic scene in which sunset on the Pacific-a magnificent shot which is possibly the best individual justification of Technicolor yet seen on the screen-tempts Maine to an appropriately exhibitionistic suicide, leaving Esther to a Hollywood funeral in which an admirer steals her veil...
...football coach in 1908. As trainer and rubber Coach Dobie had a onetime bicycle-racer and Chicago White Sox baseball trainer named Hiram B. Connibear. Washington had just decided to have an eight-oared crew, handed the job of coaching it to Trainer Connibear, who had not only never seen a college crew before but never even rowed a boat. It was Coach Connibear who made Washington the producer of almost all U. S. eight-oared shells, made himself the "father of Washington rowing" and a grandfather of U. S. crew racing...
