...Swedish Gertrud Wettergren as Amneris in Aïda. Mme. Wettergren had received flaring advance publicity when she arrived in the U. S. month ago, asked two ship-news reporters to kick her "for luck" (TIME, Dec. 2). Her performance last week proved that she could rely on something sounder than luck.

Last spring, he and his fellow Californian, Gene Mako, were named for the Davis Cup team more to give them competitive seasoning than because anyone actually expected them to help bring back the Cup. As soon as he reached England...
Prime result of Canada's new policy will be to put the Dominion on a sounder competitive basis with Argentina, Australia, Russia and the Balkans in supplying the world wheat market. Its effect on the U. S., where the tariff is 42¢ a bu., will be negligible, unless the U. S. has enough surplus to go after the world market...
