 Synopsis

This Weekly Review features a speedboat and hydroplane regatta in Evans Bay in a stiff northerly as boats capsize in the choppy seas; the inter-provincial rowing eights on a flat-as-a-millpond Petone foreshore on the other side of Wellington Harbour in which Auckland's West End wins; and the reopening of the National Art Gallery by the Prime Minister Sidney Holland after eight years' occupation by the Air Force. The £40K national collection (mainly portraits and landscapes) is reframed and a Frances Hodgkins painting is examined.
