...summer holiday of Japanese Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako was cut short last week by fierce fighting in Soviet Siberia and in North China. Their Majesties hurried from the seaside back to a highly excited Tokyo in which Premier Prince Konoye repeatedly held midnight cabinet councils with members of the General Staff. Japanese businessmen, as usual, could not find out whether Japanese soldiers had been fighting at the command of their Government or because their local Japanese commanders had decided that the local opportunities for getting in a few blows were too good to miss last week...
...trophy since 1857. It continues, when the challenge is accepted, with trials to select a defender. For the past month, in light, warm winds, three candidates for the honor of defending the America's Cup raced each other day after day on the sparkling summer ocean off Newport, R. I. They were Gerard B. Lambert's Yankee, Chandler Hovey's Rainbow and Harold Stirling Vanderbilt's new Ranger. Last week, the trials ended and on the bulletin board of the Club's Newport station, the America's Cup Committee announced its decision...
Posted on his 53rd birthday, that terse notice gave Harold Stirling Vanderbilt what he has been working for all winter. When the Royal Yacht Squadron challenge in behalf of T. O. M. Sopwith was accepted last summer. Skipper Vanderbilt was the obvious choice as his adversary.

What the townspeople of Saugus have been talking about ever since, however, is the behavior of the club's 25-year-old coach, honey-haired English Teacher Isabelle Hallin. An experienced summer trouper who spent three seasons with the Garrick Players at Kennebunkport, Me., Saugus-bred Miss Hallin wears attractive, form-fitting dresses, makes adroit use of cosmetics. Moreover, six Bishop rehearsals had been held in the cellar of her home. Were cigarets served? Cocktails? What happened...
...Home-Philadelphians who stay home for the summer swelter. Those who like music go to the Philadelphia Orchestra concerts at Robin Hood Dell to console themselves. There last week 3,000 Philadelphians could almost imagine themselves out of the sticky, uncomfortable city when Mary Binney Montgomery and her troupe danced their own version of George Gershwin's An American in Paris. Miss Montgomery's choreography followed closely Gershwin's sparkling musical account of a tourist "adrift in the City of Light." The American (Harry Teplitz) elbowed his way bewilderedly through raucous vendors and squabbling shopkeepers, was momentarily...
