 The Americans have been prac- l ticing here steadily since Sunday and have found the course plenti- fully supplied with pitfalls for the 1nwary. Jones has declined to make any predictions as to the outcome Of 1 the match other than that he | thought it would be close.
 For the singles, all the Ameri- cans will have to play, but Great Britain may use Rex Hartley. who | beat Dr. Willing for the St George s vase on Sunday, and J. x. Smith in place of two of the foursome play CTS.

yet. Remembering The Jazz Sing err The Singing Fool' and Say It With Songs" that is saying great deal, but all who saw last nights performance of Nanny" will agree that it is not saying too much.
 Nanny" gives Mr. Jolson the golden opportunity of his career and how he does use it, Nanny first of all is made for laughter. 1t is a comedy with minstrel show background, great dramatic force but hardly a suggestion of tears. It is a natural for Jolson who got his early training with just such min strel shows and who knows all the tricks of the trade.
 The story is an adaptation of Il play by Irving Berlin and the songs and incidental music are also done by him in collaboration with Jolson. Jolson sings four or five of the best songs of his career. in Nanny" among them being Looking 1t
 You.' ITO My Nanny" and Let | Me Sing"
 Spectacular sequences of Nam my arc filmed in technicolor which adds greatly to their effectiveness. If you like Jolson in blacllface or Whtcface, if you like to hear him sing, if you like rousing dress pa
 rades and real old time minstrels, If
 you like a, dramatic story and fine
 acting. you will like this picture.
