...more like that of Jean Borotra than of any other player of the last decade. He uses nervous, snapping strokes, starts his racket near the ball, curtails his follow-through. His most outstanding shot is a forehand drive executed on a rising ball as he runs toward the net. He volleys with more power than finesse, serves hard but without either the finality or the waste of energy that characterizes U. S. players like Vines or Shields. Two years ago Perry's word when he missed a shot was "Nuts." He has since learned to express his disappointment more politely...

She inveigles him aboard what the newspaper advertisements of this picture titillatingly refer to as her LOVE BARGE, gives him fancy hors d'oeuvres, wine in silver cups and clamshells full of pearls, served by classic chorus girls emerging from a fishing net as naked as Censor Joseph Breen will allow.

...metropolitan area, 63,000 outside. Up went its advertising rates to $550 for a black & white page for the Metropolitan circulation, $850 for national. Up went its earnings to $517,000 in 1929. Last year, in the face of sparse luxury advertising, The New Yorker netted $263,000. It has made that much in the first six months of this year, carrying more pages of advertising than the Satevepost. This year's net should top $600,000.
