...droning in from the South at about 450 ft. It roared over the brightly-lighted field and out over adjacent San Francisco Bay. Two or three miles out the plane began banking to the right in the logical maneuver to approach the East-West runway. Suddenly watchers saw it slide into a 45° dive. Instant later it vanished behind a dike between field and bay. There came a tremendous "wham" as the ship plunged...
Lily Pons is our favorite singer. Her voice is of surprising beauty, and it is a delight to hear her run up and down the scale and slide long and clearly on bar E. Jeannette McDonald and Grace Moore come nowhere near the charming and unaffected little French girl who sparkles in every scene like a jewel. Add Jack Oakie, Mischa Auer, and some elegant swing by Andre Kostelanetz and you've got something, "That Girl From Paris" to be exact...
...three-quarter-mile toboggan slide led down into South St. Paul's Main Street where "Hook 'Em Cows" prepared to serve 15,000 quarts of stew cooked in a huge kettle outdoors.

During performances of the show, spectators were spellbound when workmen fed one of the machines 50-lb. chunks of ice, which it chewed into flakes, spewed out of a six-inch hose, as glittering, precious Snow...
...Madison Square Garden last week Hannes Schneider, now iron-haired and limping from a hip broken while skiing ten years ago, had to do no more than stand still while his skis carried him down the slide once or twice to fulfill his function as main attraction of the show whose clientele was made up mostly of skiing sophisticates. Indirect effect of Herr Schneider's three-week stay in the U. S., before going back to St. Anton for the start of the semester, was to aggravate New York's skiing neurosis to the point of mania.
