He defeated Francis T. Hunter,
of New Rochelle, n. Y, veteran
American Davis Cup star, yesterday
in a tense and dramatic five-set
match at Forest Hills, in which
Hunter was at one time within less
than half a dozen points of victory.
Cochet's winning score was 4-6,
6-4, 3-6, rs. 6-3.
More sensational and more thrill
ing matches have decided the Amer
lean title in other years, but that is
because neither Cochet nor Hunter
is of the sensational thrilling sort.
Each went about his game
with great GOODNESS and the pre-
cision of a scientist. COchet
was as good only as Hunter
permitted him to be and only
i'm the final set, when Hunter
realized the match had slipped
from his grasp, did COchet bring
off his shots with anything even
slightly resembling sensational

desperate struggle. with the astouno-
ing and amazing courage or Hunter
and his wonderful fighting spirit
eoading him on to heights whlcn
he had never before scaled. Cochet
was never sure of himself until the
closing moments of the final set
and even then he was fearful of any
eventuality that might enable Hun
ter to break through and snatch a
victory. just as he had all but done
in the fourth set. 1t was in that
critical period of that match that

Something seemed to die within
Frank Hunter in the tenseness of
that moment and in the final set
he was a broken-hearted, middle
aged man fighting a losing battle
TO hold his youth. Hunter realized
in that fleetinE second that never
was he to wear the championship
crown. For fifteen years he had
seen the Williamses, the john
stons, the Tildens and the Lacostes
stand between him and the glory
that he craved. But this year it
was different. For the first time
in his fifteen years on the courts
he had achieved the final round
by virtue of one of the most
heroic stands a, player has ever
made in the AZ years of national

Breeskin Music
ETnbenishes the
Earle

A piano. small blonde, and
one swell bit of musical work
provide the motif and admirable
support for Adolph Menjou in
"serenade," at the Earle this
week.
The small blonde is Kathryn
Carver, the Gretchen Of "Seren-
ade." The piano belongs to Mr.,
Menjou in the role of Franz, 4
young German musical student.
The musical work belongs to
Daniel Breeskin, conductor Of his
musicians.
Young Franz studies, makes
love, and is married against the
advice Of his old instructor. With
marriage comes success in the
world of composers, and fascina-
ton at the bright lights. His
young wife remains dutifully at
home making it pleasant for the
Maestro.
The Maestro, however, pays too
much attention to one Of the
dancers OF his opera company.
One night a brilliantly gowned
Gretchen turns up in a box to
watch Franz conduct. A number
of compliments result.
The story moves smoothly, and
entangles itself swiftly and surely
into the interest Of the audience.
The picture is patterned to the
fabric Of a serenade, and worked
out according to the various
movements in music. Into the
whole Mr.. Breeskin has woven a
tapestry of music that makes a
sort Of a poem. The picture by
itself is a little above the aver
age. With the accompanying
music it is delightful.
An interesting Bewsreel and q
screen, classic cleans up the
movie bill.
A pair of European dancers
equal to any / have ever seen,
and music by Whitley Kaufman
and his Victor Recording orches.
ira are the two interesting spots
in the vaudeville presentation.
