Serious Alme seldom win univer- sal liking, and for this reason Park-i mount's "One Third. of a Nation," previewed at the Queen's Theatre yesterday, may not appeal to public taste. "I And one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad and ill-nourish- ed," said President Roosevelt in his second inaugural address and from his words this drama was conceived.
But for the more serious-minded, those who appreciate # sincere pleture, this frontal attack on the Inadequate housing of one third of} the population of the United States, and the crime, disease and despon dency that - accompany it, will be found to be more than just a well- acted alm.

British Defeat At Southport In 1937
London, April 16.
The unanimous appointment of Henry Cotton as captain of this year's British Ryder Cup team is a recogni- tion not only of his outstanding ability as a player but of his position in the game. By sheer force of character he has, at the age of thirty-two, climbed to the pinnacle of fame. Entering the profession at seventeen, he was fascinated by the prospects offered in a universal game which in modern times has produced such great personali- ties as R. T. Jones and Hagen.
