    I think this is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Crooks "Richard Alexander Crooks (June 26, 1900 – September 29, 1972) was an American tenor and a leading singer at the New York Metropolitan Opera."

    See oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt3z09q52j/ for a finding aid to the Richard and Mildred Crooks Collection, ARS-0004, held by the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. "Alexander Richard Crooks, tenor, was born in Trenton, N.J. on June 26, 1900. He toured widely, and sang with the Metropolitan Opera Company from 1933 to 1942. Crooks recorded extensively for the Victor record company, and was featured on several radio series from 1929 to 1945. He married his childhood friend Mildred Pine in 1921 and they had two children, Patricia and Richard, Jr. In retirement, the couple settled in Portola Valley. Richard Crooks died on September 30, 1972." His NYT obituary from Oct. 1, 1972 www.nytimes.com/1972/10/01/archives/richard-croohs-tenor-... indicates that "in 1925, Mr. Crooks left for Europe to further his studies and by 1927 he was singing opera in Hamburg and Berlin." "He leaves his wife, the former Mildred Wallace Pine ..." See: www.findagrave.com/memorial/201023835/richard-crooks www.findagrave.com/memorial/200991783/mildred-wallace-crooks

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16750699 - this pic appeared in the SMH on 2nd February, 1931...

    Per the SMH, this is Arawatta...which had won the Australian 18-Foot Championship sailed on Sydney Harbour the previous Saturday. It's not clear when this pic was taken, but this is the first publication I've found to date...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16628135 - SMH, 24th February, 1930...also see this pic taken the previous year, when Arawatta came 2nd in the 18-Foot State Championship...
