SUZANNE BROADCASTS.

A CHAT ABOUT WIMBLEDON. Mile Suzanne Lenglen broadcasted a few lawn tennis impressions recently from 2LO, the London station, says 'the ‘.‘Daily Mail.” ‘‘You have read very many opinions p-bout those who may or may not appear in the semi-finals and finals of the championships at Wimbledon,”- she said; “but there are so many players about whom one knows little except their reputations elsewhere.”'

Mile Lenglen remarked that listeners would like her to give the winners of the game- : -“ a tip straight from the' horse’s mouth" she humorously interpolated—but, she added, if she did, “you would lose your money and you would like me no longer.” ' “I am only an ordinary French girl who can do something well. 1 don’t want to preach to you, but I suggest that you come and see what Wimbledon means. Don’t judge lawn tennis by what you see played in a casual way on a public court, I assure you that lawn tennis is rather a strenuous game really." Mile Lenglen .expressed: pleasure at having seen at Wimbledon last ■■ year parties of school children 1 with their mistresses' watching - the game, and the fact that these children never applauded in the wrong place. Her concluding remark came with rather startling suddenness.—“ Wimbledon is amateur absolutely.”
