A NEW POINT OF VIEW

... . A CLEVER CAMERA ANGLE: SAM LEE REHEARSING DANCERS FOR THE SCREEN. This amusing freak of the camera, one of the best for some time from Hollywood, was taken in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios when Sam Lee, the dance director, was rehearsing the chorus for a song-and-dance picture. How the idea of taking a picture of Mr. Lee from such an angle was first conceived may provide a source of some ...

THE FLYING MEN OF THE CIRCUS

... . AN AERIAL DISPLAY AT THE CIRCUS THE TRAPEZISTS IN ACTION AT OLYMPIA. The trapeze act in the circus at Olympia, provided by a combination of several famous troupes, is a highly complicated spectacle, and perhaps even a little too much so for some people. Those who delight in the grace and daring of the trapezists are apt to be a little confused by such an abundance of talent and to find their ...

The STAGE of the DAY: THE SLEEPING BEAUTY (Drury Lane)

... The STAGE of the DAY. By Harris Deans. THE SLEEPING BEAUTY (Drury Lane). THIS is a disappointing world for a thoroughly selfish man, because sooner or later he is forced to recognise that he can't have everything. But, oh, if one only could! How gorgeous it would be, for instance, to combine the robust humours of this year's Lyceum pantomime with the spectacular richness of Drury Lane's. I am ...

From Ladies' Tees

... . The rest of the famous ones in 1929 particularly Miss Gourlay, Miss Fishzvick, Miss Morgan: F earn Golf and Foursomes. By ELEANOR E. HELME. MISS WETHERED having mono polised the whole of last week's page, this must be a more com pressed summary of everybody else's doings in 1929. Recalling Miss Collett's great stand against her at St. Andrews one has already given the American the greatest ...

DOGS of the DAY: Kerry Blues in Derbyshire

... DOGS of the DAY. Kerry Blues in Derbyshire By A. CROXTON-SMITH.

Calvert Butler from Miss H. A. Toft, of Turnditch, near Derby. It was a compliment to Miss Toft, breeder of this good dog, that he should have met with the ...

FOAM THAT THE SEA-WINDS FRET

... FOAM THAT THE SEA-WINB3 FRET. AN OPTICAL ILLUSION: WAVES WHICH LOOK LIKE SNOW ON THE NORTH-EAST COAST. These pictures do not, as at first sight appears, show motor cars snowed up, but motor cars foamed up, if the term can be used. They were taken at Christmastime at Nigg Bay, near Aberdeen, when sea-foam entirely covered the road during a gale to a depth in places of several feet. The wild ...

CAUTION AND HIGH SPEEDS

... Caution and High Speeds. By the Hon. Sir Arthur Stanley. Chairman of the R.A.C. NEARLY everyone is a motorist nowadays, and the old idea that motors existed only for the pleasure of the idle and selfish rich has long since been dispelled. The motor bus takes millions of working men and women to their daily business, the charabanc takes them to the seaside or the country for their holidays, and ...

Rapier on Racing

... an Qacwy FLOODS and frosts gave our winter-time racegoers an extended holiday. I have never seen boys at the break up half as delighted as were the regulars to get back to work. The bookmakers at Kempton Park were all radiant smiles, wishing each other the compliments of the season, and especially beaming and bestowing heartfelt good wishes for 1930 on their clients.
