Prospects for the coming year are best in rowing. Only stroke Bill Rowe and Captain Dudley Talbot, workhorse number three sweep-swinger, will be lost from the eight which defeated Yale. The six returning oarsmen and coxswain; plus the wealth of material from the freshman and junior varsity squad, give a basis for optimism. This is the Olympic year in rowing, and Bolles and the oarsmen would like nothing better than to have the Crimson colors carried abroad
...chain, the Cotton Club doops a lot of colored hotcha and horseplay. Though much of the old animal verve of Harlem has given way to routine Broadway showmanship, the show has winning headliners in Tapster Bill Robinson (see col. j) and Crooner Cab Galloway; a pleasant surprise in Hymn Swinger Sister Tharpe; plenty of jungle...

No less happy is the casting of Margalo Gillmore as the full-blown, romantic Mary Philipse. As Washington, Philip Merivale is close to perfect. Mr. Merivale is the greatest cloak-swinger on the U. S. stage. He swung one in The Road to Rome (1927-28). He swung another in Death Takes a Holiday (1930-31). He swung a third in Mary of Scotland (1934). His melancholy face with its skin stretched across the cheekbones like rawhide on a saddle frame...
