...says: "They wear nothing but their trunks." Commenting on a Japanese prizefight, he imitates a radio announcer, ends with, "Graham McNamee announcing." There is no pun about Chinese junk. Pictorially, Around the World in 80 Minutes is nothing much. But the cinema has always before treated information as a bore; travelogs have almost without exception been sad and spiritless products proving, to the accompaniment of chop-suey music, that all Chinese look alike. This travelog is a novelty because it is witty and de luxe, the record of a trip which must have been fun and of a personality which...

Meals may be obtained if the caretaker's wife is notified in advance...
...football star at little Rutgers for the last three years. His brother, Nat, may be a star at big N. Y. U. for the next three. Last week they played against each other for the first time. Nat had the stronger team but Jack, who finds football a bore and only plays it, he says, for personal glory, seemed to be the better of the two. He scored the first touchdown made against N. Y. U. this year, put so much punch in the Rutgers secondary defense that N. Y. U. was lucky to win with four touchdowns...
