Some years before World War I, the Kaiser took Queen Wilhelmina-a plump, sweet-faced young matron-out to his Army maneuvers. Intending to impress his little neighbor with Germany's military might, he pointed out to her a strapping unit of the Prussian Guard...
...breath-taking surprise was the eight-piece jazz unit known as Matty Malneck's orchestra which captivated the audience with its novel rhythms featuring a Harpo Marxish accordion player called Milton Delugg. Eve Arden as a wealthy patroness of odd theatricals proved to be a front of witty dialogue, Grace-McDonald and Frances Mercer are attractive ingenues, Jack Whiting appears as an adequate song-and-dance man.

The genius of Dick Harlow's coaching is undoubted after the way he has molded slightly undermanned Crimson teams to Big Three champions in the last two years. This fall he was faced with a gigantic rebuilding project, and it is not surprising that the going has been...
