Word was promptly forthcoming that a commission to design a new and less spectacular uniform had been sent to Earl Carroll, at present producing a show in a Miami Beach nightclub. Last month when the Hauptmann trial commenced in Flemington, it was stated that the gaudy sky blue and yellow uniforms of the New Jersey State troopers, now familiar to all the U. S., had been designed by Producer Carroll six years ago. Reprinted many times, the statement was never challenged until last week when the constabulary, perhaps embarrassed by being so closely connected with a gentleman once jailed...
...eyed, loquacious, stocky German-Jew whose long list of successes ending with The Merry Widow have made him one of the five most famed cinema directors in the world, last week got a new job: production chief at Paramount. Never before in the history of the industry has so spectacular a director been considered sufficiently responsible to run a major studio. The appointment caused Hollywood to rattle with astonishment.

...anticipate plays and great success with the dangerous maneuver of skating out of his position to interrupt them, Chabot almost never leaves his net. Slow at regaining his feet when he falls down, he indulges in few of the acrobatic tricks that make the work of smaller goalies more spectacular. These qualities give his style of play a peculiar indolence which he exaggerates as much as possible. Instead of chattering encouragement to his teammates, the method by which most goalies relieve their nervous tension, he munches slowly a huge wad of chewing gum, rarely speaks a word during a game...
