SPORTING & DRAMATIC REVIEW

Particularly attractive is this week’s issue of the “Sporting and Dramatic Review,” with its diversified illustrations so artistically reproduced and covering interesting topical subjects. World events are represented in the centre double pages, showing an ice hockey match at St. Moritz, Soccer at Liverpool, Canterbury Cathedray, and steeplechasing in France. Special interest will be centred on the tennis champions’ exhibition on the Stanley Street courts demonstrating their renowned skill. Golfers are catered for in the Dominion ladies’ championship match at Heretaunga, snaps on the North Shore links and at Otahuhu. Week-enders at Piha appear in splendid photographs showing the thrill of surf bathing. The Wellington Racing Club’s meeting is the subject of special attention. The Australian Journal. Db people read serials nowadays ? Once, of course, readers took most of their literature on the instalment plan, so to speak, but are moderns content to wait thirty days or so between chapters? It all depends on the serial. When you find a story with the gripping qualities of “Spring Melody,” Valerie Fane’s new romantic novel, the first instalment of which commences in “The Australian Journal” for November, you’d be Tess—or more —than human if you didn’t want to know what happened next. The Journal also contains some notable complete and well-illustrated stories by Australian authors of the calibre bf Myra Morris, Darrell Symmons, Cam Woodford, Rex Grayson, J. P. McKinney and others, as well as such talented New Zealanders as Monte Holcroft, John Guthrie and H. McNeish. ■mr..:
