Dolores Del Rio is definitely a beautiful lady. Pat O'Brien is said to have good points. Edward Everett Horton can be quite amusing. Busby Berkeley has been known to create clever choral monstrosities. With the above ingredients, tempered by a dash of Glenda Farrell, we have "Caliente" which aims to be a heady cinematic cocktail; it should be no shock to learn that like mice and men, movie magnates are also visited by the ganging agley of plans. In short: "Caliente" misses fire...

Slender, coffee-colored Jesse Owens, 21-year-old Ohio State Sophomore, tied one world's record, broke three, and emerged from the meet indisputably the ablest all-around track athlete currently functioning in the U.S. His records: 20.3 sec. for the 220-yd. dash (old record: 20.6 sec.); 22.6 sec. for the 220-yd. low hurdles (old record: 23 sec.); 26 ft., 8¼ in. for the broad jump (old record: 26 ft. 2½in., set by Chuhei Nambu of Japan in 1931).

Cummings may indeed get a pure text but if the present volume is any indication it will not be "pure" in the Brattle Street sense. With his usual acumen, he has already ensured against that. For his recipe for poetry is apparently a dash if wit, a sprinkle of imagery, and a pinch of smut. The last condiment is easy to find despite his commendable ruse in transliterating into Greek certain English monosyllables which always arouse Mr. Dirty Mind, the true-born censor. There is a blank page, whose missing text appears only in the holograph edition, and the penny...
