...Danish "Fanny Farmer," who cared for him after his mother's death, taught him to like to cook, paid for his lessons out of her recipe earnings. Tenor Melchior was well known in Germany in 1925. So, in her own way, was Hannelore Meister, a pretty little stunt cinemactress. One day 105-lb. Fraulein Meister accidentally dropped into Melchior's garden, clutching a parachute. Soon afterward she became Frau Melchior, began her worries over her husband's weight, his costumes, his contracts...
...opaque plate glass with a highly polished surface. It was originally made for use in countertops and tabletops, graduated into wainscotting for hallways and bathrooms, last year was used in store fronts. Pittsburgh also makes Herculite, a glass which will resist temperatures up to 650°. Most spectacular Pittsburgh stunt came last month when Sergeant Frank Shannon, champion marksman of the Newark, N. J. police force, fired a round of Thompson submachine gun bullets at Night-Club Singer Ella Logan. Though only 30 feet from the "Tommy-gun," Miss Logan smiled, powdered her nose, survived.

...Brien cracked a pistol to send off 15 teams of riders than these hopes were granted. Partners Gustav Kilian & Heinz Vopel, over whose bunk flew the old German flag lest "non-Aryans" be annoyed, made their Garden debut by bumping soundly, crashing heavily. Undiscouraged, they duplicated their stunt a few minutes later (see cut), this time bringing down Cecil Yates with them. Helped to their cots, where they were thoroughly lubricated and bandaged, they soon joined the chase again. Vopel, still reckless, next collided with Torchy Peden. Over them tumbled Testa, Grimm, Wissel and Carpus. Led to their cubbyholes...
