...trim, and the boatings begin to take on a fixed character. In the case of the first boat the lineup is pretty much the same as last year at Henley. Of course Bill Rowe had turned over the stroke position to Jack Wilson then, and Jack still makes the pace. However, the number three position is becoming a problem, beng the spot vacated by Dud Talbot last year...
...first act of the two-act production drags a bit too much, but it is probably only a question of time until the timing is perfected. The pace in the second act was really breakneck, building up to a good finale. "Who's Who in Your Heart," the best song of the play, was introduced in the first act: music by Pete Rollins and words by Bayard Clark. With proper handling, this song should easily reach high national popularity ratings. The other outstanding Rollins songs were "I Want to Be Investigated," "Un Chico Vico," and "Lonely Moon."

...Charlie Carroll on drums do a sweet job besides furnishing the "flash" solos that any band needs these days to satisfy the customers.

By March 1 dealers had over 460,000 cars on their floors, and at the current rate may have nearly 550,000 units on hand April 1 (400,000 is considered about par for that date...
...these thoughts flashed pell-mell through 75,000 minds, the thudding hoofs were coming closer. By the grandstand they flashed: Austin Taylor's Whichcee in front, Seabiscuit half a length behind. Rounding into the backstretch, the old trouper kept up with Whichcee's swift pace. Down the long stretch, silhouetted against the purple Sierra Madres, the Biscuit seemed glued to Whichcee's tail. Louder & louder the crowd roared as they seesawed coming into the homestretch-Seabiscuit nosing in front, then falling back, then in front again. Approaching the grandstands, Red Pollard flipped his whip and the Biscuit...
