...year ago Explorer Donald Baxter MacMillan expressed the general feeling about such a trip when, in Philadelphia newspapers, he described such an attempt as "suicidal." Replied laconic Sir Hubert: "Perhaps it would be suicidal for Captain MacMillan...
...Arizona Kid (Fox). To Warner Baxter and Fox Films went the first prize of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for In Old Arizona (TIME, April 21). This sequel is written around the same character from O. Henry's story and acted by the same Baxter. It is one more piece of evidence that the "western," already an eminently successful cinematic formula, has in one way been energized and in another way sterilized by the sound device. Frontier atmosphere, crystallized in words and incidental noises, and the opportunity offered to expert modern photographers by frontier hillscapes have proved...
...Warner Baxter's preparation for his present role as a range-rider involved two years as juvenile lead with the North Brothers Stock Company of Dallas, Tex., and seven years on the road for Oliver Morosco.

He is about to cheat an old South American woman out of all her worldly goods when his better...
...Baxter, Theodore W. Lyman Professor of Chemistry, was interviewed yesterday concerning recent additions to the staff of the Division of Chemistry. It is felt that the appointments of G. B. Kistiakowsky as assistant professor and of O. K. Rice as an instructor are an indication of the ever-increasing interdependence of the subjects of chemistry and physics. These new members of the Division, who are interested in modern physical chemistry, are expected to collaborate with Associate Professors J. C. Slater and E. G. Kemble of the Physics Department, who have devoted much of their attention to the same subject...
