Lest this be taken as a slight to Lynn Fontanne, let it be said that her rival, Miss Diana Wynyard is neither better nor worse, which means that Diana is now queen of Hollywood's ball room women--there being two classes of actresses at Hollywood, ballroom ladies, and livingroom ladies. Miss Wynyard has a new coiffure and sports a new and spritely manner in her delightful acting of the part of Eleana, at once wife of a psychiatrist and mistress of an exiled Archduke. All Eleana shows is that, be it ever so sophisticated there is no place like...
Conditions for the race were excellent; only a slight breeze was blowing, and almost absolute calm prevailed. It was Coach Whiteside's first opportunity to test out the crew which he rehabilitated last week.

Before the Senate silverites had cast an amazing total of 33 ayes for inflation of the coinage of silver, Senator Thomas...
...playing on the courts of the Chapultepec Sports Club where he used to chase balls. But fair-haired young Clifford Sutler of New Orleans, playing lazily, beat him 6-1, 6-0, 6-1. The only satisfaction the crowd got the first day was the one set that small, slight Dr. Ricardo Tapia-who has been Mexican singles champion for the last five years, whose sister Maria is Mexico's woman champion and whose youngest brother Armando gives promise of becoming Mexico's best player-won from Wilmer Allison, in a match that Allison had to stir...
