... Performance Or Comfort? A FLEA, according to a famous essay by one of those distinguished scientific workers who put us all in our places, a flea, if scaled up to the size of an elephant, could never have its jumping power scaled up in proportion. Motorists are inclined to want the performance and manoeuvring power of the smallest vehicle with the capacity and comfort of the largest. When ...

... 6^/ovc* I jealousy by making his mother fall in love with a shameless pimp was surely the worst kind of sensationalism. Now, seeing Le Garfon Sauvage again at the New Gallery, not only the English title and sub-titles, but circumstances are changed. The first shock and it was a shock has been taken and the intervening months have not been so rich in films of quality that we can afford to be ...

... WE have moved far and fast beyond the agreeable and gentlemanly practice of senior commanders in the field confining their literary efforts to Official Dispatches and Letters Home to My Lady Wife. This, to me, is a matter for regret which grows deeper as the list of generals' books grows longer. I hold it sufficient that these gentlemen accept high honours for success or ignominy for failure. ...

... 2^ D. B. Wyndham Lewis WHILE skilfully restoring the decayed and rotted flags hanging in the Great Hall of Chelsea Hospital-- French flags cap tured in the Napoleonic wars, American flags captured in the American wars, and so forth-- the needlework experts apparently had to apply to French and American museums for certain details of original insignia and lettering; which might well have been ...

... 6 LET ME SEE HIS FACE' Robert Stewart Sherriffs THE candid, kindly, freakish countenance, of Maximilian Frances Mary Isidor Robes pierre now hangs, by a majority vote, high in the portrait gallery of Hell's angels. This pleasant voiced, small town French lawyer of I rish descent, with the well-cut clothes and the amusing knack of peeling an orange with one hand, was born in 1758. He quickly ...

... D. II. Wyndham Lewis WEARIED by unceasing prattle about the Rights-- never, oddly enough, the Duties --of Man, a very honest butcher named Legendre once offered the Jacobin Club boys in the Rue St. Honoré a little diversion during the Terror by undertaking to fillet on the spot any aristocrat they cared to serve up. We thought of this jolly fellow on reading about a group of teenage thinkers ...

... Oliver Stewart Magic wand motoring has arrived. By paying a little more when the car's tanks are filled you will be able to call down incanta tions to improve the hill-climbing, acceleration, starting and consumption. Eminent drivers swear that their cars run better on the premium fuels and, if they feel that they run better, why they do run better, for that's the truth if you think it is. Yet ...

... S---- --- yvvvvvwyv. THERE was a big field when the Whaddon Chase met at Shorndown. It was a cold morning and followers were more than grateful for the hospitality of the master and Mrs. Drabble. A brace of foxes were found in the rough place below Shorndown, and one was quickly killed. The other led hounds away at a great pace by High Havens and the aerodrome to Wing Spinneys. Getting him ...

... D. B. Wyndham Lewis BACK to the grand old Etonian game! is the slogan we suggest to British mothers moaning, as recently, over the soaring cost of public school games, their numerous adjuncts, costumes, and accessories. A simpler sport forged the heroes of Badajoz and Waterloo, Boodle's and Almack's, if you recall Gray's nostalgic cry at the sight of Eton's distant towers: What idle progeny ...

... Alas Not Even A Rabbit M. GUITRY, in a programme note, indicated that his latest play Ecoutez Bien, Messieurs, had been especially contrived for his appearance in London. This intended compliment is hard to believe, for we are inclined to like suet puddings which turn out to be souffles and not the reverse. So much brilliant patter, delivered by a master conjurer, should, one feels, lead up to ...
