This is a photo-journalism page from Life's Sunday edition featuring candid photographs with light captions. The main content includes: 1. **Prince of Wales portrait**: A formal photograph of England's Prince of Wales, presented as a rare "candid" capture—notable because he reportedly avoided cameras. 2. **Times Square boxing crowd**: A street scene of spectators gathered for fight results, depicted as good-natured but rowdy, with police tolerating minor disorder. 3. **Equestrian accident**: A horse and rider captured mid-fall at a steeplechase event in Kentucky. 4. **College "rough-house"**: Female students from St. Gladys' College engaged in a traditional "camisole rush"—a raucous hazing ritual where sophomores and freshmen compete physically, apparently resulting in "broken heads." The page celebrates candid photography and captures of contemporary life, mixing royalty, sports crowds, accidents, and youthful antics as entertainment for readers.
