Under Sports in your April 24 issue is mentioned Helene Mayer, Germany's most outstanding woman fencer. Helene is not a "German officer's daughter'' but was born in my home town. Offenbach-am-Main. The daughter of a physician, she received her early training with foils from one Sig. Arturo Gazzerra, professional fencing teacher in Offenbach to whom credit must be given for the fact that this comparatively small city has produced some of Germany's best fencers...
Other fencers from Offenbach: Erskrath de Bary (1906 Olympic competitor); Edwin Casimir, who was on the champion Olympic sabre team in 1906 and who represented his country with Miss Mayer in 1932; Hans & Julius Thomson and H.

Today We Live (Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer). On the day that she hears her father has been killed in the War, Diana Boyce-Smith (Joan Crawford) makes the acquaintance of an exceedingly tactless young American who has come to England to rent her house. Shortly after she has sent her brother, Ronnie, and her fiance. Claude, off to man a torpedo-launch together on the coast of France, she finds out that she really loves not Claude (Robert Young) but the American, Richard Bogard (Gary Cooper). The troubles that arise from this situation are what you might expect in the first...
