Last week Showman Billy Rose put on his third revue at his two-year-old Manhattan nostalgia palace, the Diamond Horseshoe cabaret. For this show Rose dug up several pre-and-early-'20s cinema stars. Master of ceremonies was grey-haired Carlyle Blackwell, who was a notable glamor boy during the Wilson Administration. The lush Nita Naldi, whose heroic scale bust was a feature of Rudolph Valentino's Blood and Sand, gave a smoldering recital of Kipling's The Vampire. Shimmy-shaking Gilda Gray didn't attempt the racking vibrations of her youth, but heaved...
California railbirds like to think of the Kentucky-bred Biscuit as their own. They like to tell how the lazy little grandson of Man o' War, racing in the East as a two-year-old, failed to win a race in his first 18 starts. But after California's Charles S. Howard bought him (for $7,-$500) and put him in Trainer Tom Smith's care, the onetime selling plater finished out of the money only four times in 42 starts.

...first extended tour (by automobile) of big U. S. cities, as far afield as New Orleans. Into the Minneapolis Municipal Auditorium they drew audiences of 4-5,000. Josef Meier, as usual, played the Christus. His wife, a former Chicago girl, Clare Hume, was a handsome Mary. Their two-year-old daughter Johanna, who had the sniffles at one performance, was the infant Jesus. No applause was permitted during the play, while Meier was realistically crucified with trick nails, while he was resurrected in white satin. Nor was there any applause for a solemn moment after the final curtain. Then...
