Most elaborate of the dance sequences is hoofed by Astaire, Burns & Allen at a country fair. After trying their fantastic toes on turntables, rolling barrels, slippery slides, the trio trip into the magic mirror room, become stumpy, stilted, wide & narrow by turns. The climax is a mirror that clips them off, leaving only disembodied dancing legs. Reginald Gardiner, whose stage repertory includes imitations of ugly wallpaper, effeminate French railway trains, weltering bell buoys, contributes one soul-bursting scene as an aria-minded butler tossing inhibition to the wood winds and singing a tenor solo from the opera Martha...

Moving from fullbacks to halfbacks, the element of uncertainty comes in with the question whether anybody is going to improve sufficiently to take the place of Carr's regular starting trio, which is good but never all-American. In the forward line, there is still a search for the winning combination. Latest reports seemed to be that Carr had it in the Dartmouth and Tufts games, but Princeton may mean another story...
