...next admirer (Phillips Holmes) is accused of murdering a onetime sweetheart at a penthouse party. The real murderer is another gangster, rival to Gazotti, named Jim Crelliman (C. Henry Gordon). Lawyer Durant brings him to justice, forms what looks like a lasting attachment with the sleek underworld girl (Myrna Loy) who helps him. Adapted from a story by Arthur Somers Roche and ably directed by William S. Van Dyke-whose specialty heretofore has been wild animal pictures- Penthouse is good, straightforward Metro-Goldwyn-Mayerdrama, with glass doors and modern furniture. Most exciting shot: one of Crelliman's underlings (George...
Frederick John Perry has a sleek appearance, a bland cosmopolitan manner which belies the fact that he taught himself tennis on London's public courts, became world's ping pong champion before he made a Davis Cup team. For England, at least, Perry is the No. 1 player of 1933. He beat McGrath. then Allison and Vines, then Cochet and Merlin in this year's Davis Cup matches. If he gets what he calls a "good win:" over Crawford, whom he has not played this year, it will be in the final at Forest Hills, because they...

Late that evening President Roosevelt, crossing the Mid-Hudson Bridge from his Hyde Park estate, boarded the train and it sped down the river to Weehawken. In the dead of night, under heavy police escort, the five Pullmans threaded their rumbly way through mazy miles of freight yards which had not seen a passenger train, much less a Presidential special, in 40 years. They finally emerged on the Baltimore & Ohio tracks beyond Jersey...
...tied 16 times and the 31 out of 97 starters who qualified needed 146 or better. In the first round, Leo Diegel lost to a long-driving young Western pro named Willie Goggin, who tied for seventh in the U. S. Open last spring. In the second round, sleek, crinkly-eyed Johnny Farrell put out Olin ("King Kong") Dutra, the defending champion, 1 up. There is always one comparatively unknown golfer who does well in the P. G. A. but last week there were two in the round of eight: Goggin and Hines. The real surprise of the tournament came...
