Since being signed to a contract by Paramount, Miss Morenu has played the fomiso lend with Adolphe Menjou in "Amor Audaz," the Spanish talk- ing production of "Slightly Scarlet." She also appeared in the Spanish pro- duction of "Paramount On Parade" and with Nine Martini made a sing- ing-dancing short subject.

Honda, the enigma, whose play in the earlier rounds suggested he was a spent forte so far as cham- pionship honours were concerned. nearly sprang a surprise in the semi-final of the open tennis sing. les against E. C. Fincher yesterday, when he took the first set by means of some delightful all-court play.

Honda played the best tennis of the whole match in the opening stages, leaving Fincher bewildered with his forcing drives which pas- sed the net attacker every time he came up. So successful was he in this phase that he caused Fincher to abandon his pet form of attack halfway through the first set, and to retire to the rear of the court

front where he gradually asserted his superiority.

Two features of the match were Honda's efforts to sweep his opponest off the court, which were partially successful, and Fincher's imperturbability and patience in an entirely unexpected position, Judged solely on the strokes pro- dured, the tennies did not reach the high class one would have desired, But the interest was maintained at fever pitch by the clever tactical moves of the players and their clash in styles.
