... D. B. Wyndham Lewis A NEWSPAPEER photograph of an English Rose kissing a horse at a gymkhana was chiefly interesting on account of the expression on the horse's face, recalling precisely the expression of a County cricketer in the same distasteful situation. Maybe this resemblance occurred later to the sweetheart herself and appalled her. Oddly enough a French runner in the late Derby looked ...
... D. B. Wyndham Lewis SHE is not a real squaw, one of Fleet Street's caption-experts hurriedly explained under a photograph of the daintiest imaginable little Nordic blonde smiling shyly at the Paleface from under a big Red Indian war-headdress. To clinch it he added that she came from Newcast!e-on-Tyne. This may fool you sahibs, but hardly satisfies the natural scepticism of this department. ...
... Cbfr Ttc AJ^JL Anthony Cookmaii Paint Your Wagon Her Majesty'*) THE latest musical from America is certainly a winner, but there is nothing aggressive about its success. For a piece dealing with the rough humours and the ups and downs of a Californian gold rush in the fifties it is curiously well mannered. It rises gently to a climax of lively, almost frantic gaiety, holds this note for a ...
... DINING OUT I. BICRERSTAFF WHETHER or not some enterprising restaurant has cashed-in on what I can but call the ''sausage boom, and produced Saucisses Cam bridge or crapes Sausagette on its menus, I cannot say; but a good restaurant could do so with no discredit to itself. Sausages and mash and fried onions are a worthy dish to round off a very late night. One proud butcher from Hampton Court ...
... Oi Mountains And Men At The Pictures Two British films pro vide matter for pride: one for its honest account of a great event. The Conquest of Everest (Warner), the other for its distinguished rendering of a major novel, Graham Greene's The Heart of the Matter (Carlton). Everest on the real-life, heroic scale daunts mere cinema heroics. The film's virtue is that it is the record of the actual ...
... D!ARV OFA LADY OF LIMITED LEISURE AWAKE this morning to dagger of sunlight piercing through gap between curtains, and forgotten pandemonium of birds screaming enthusiasm for spring, the while wolfing up new buds on the wallflowers. Having dispatched the family to its destinations, I decide that this is no day to remain even metaphorically hunched over a sink, and plan expedition in search of ...
... 2^ D. B. Windham Lewis FEW spectacles (talking of gypsies) could provide less excitement than the old Romany rite of destroying a deceased gypsy queen's caravan by fire, which event the Fleet Street boys did their best to work up into a romantic story the other day. The arch-liar Borrow is to blame, no doubt, for what shreds of glamour still surround the Romany chal in this country. Four ...

... 0 Freda Brace hochhart A HISTORY of the cinema might be written in terms of its extravagance; not the extravagance of astral bud gets or De Mille bathtubs, but the profligate waste of real talent. In Mario Lanzo, for example, M.-G.-M. have not indeed another Caruso, but a voice of comparable species if not quality.

... PINING 0 1] 1 I. BICKERSTAFF BRIGHTON once enjoyed high favour with gourmets; indeed, as late as twenty years ago. And once upon a time the celebrated Carême presided over the kitchens of the Prince Regent's Dome (some have thought he even cooked up that piece of architectural pastry), while two King Edwards have, in their various times, enjoyed the local cuisine-- even if it was only ...
