THREE "STARS"
"SMITHY," CHARLTON AND LANG MEET IN N.S.W. CAFE. Seldom do you see three Sydney , notables sitting in a row in the same > cafe; but at Pearson's, where the fish luncheon beckons to the Premier (Mr. Lang), every day, two of Australia's best living advertisements drew some of the limelight from the premier, states the Sydney Sun. Air-Commodore Kingsford-Smith sat at one table, and received a courtly nod from Mr. Lang as soon as the pair recognised each other. Then "Boy" Charlton wandered in ^ith a pal, and, though as well knownto the multitude as either "Smithy" or Mr. Lang, was not recognised by either as Australia's great swimmer. That concerned Andrew very little. He came for his fish, and ordered flathead fillets. When the waitress told Mr. Pear,son of the plebian diet ordered by Charlton, he said: — "That's no good; he can't swim on flathead." And so instead of the flathead, Charlton had a luscious plate of friend sehnapper tails placed before him. Mr. Lang was left to carry on the duties of the State on a diet of sole, Kingsford-Smith had his oysters and fried piece of sehnapper, and Charlton left the cafe feeling fit to break another record.
