...particular bit of action that every audience waits for is the transformation from Jekyll to Hyde. It is done here in close-up, in full sight of the camera. The director has managed a smooth bit of lap-dissolving, a technical tour-deforce. But he has not been as effective or imaginative as Mr. Barrymore, who simply put his hands up before his face and slowly drew them down again to reveal changed features. Again, Mr. March has authority from Stevenson to make some manner of noise during the transformation scene, which involved "the most racking pains . . . a grinding...
With small prospects for a Crimson victory but fairly bright ones for one or two first places, the undefeated University swimmers will go into action against a favored Yale team at 7 o'clock tonight in New Haven. Given a bit of luck in picking up second places, the Harvard natators should be able to offer the Intercollegiate League champions much better opposition than Harvard's first swimming team did a year...
...Ernest Lee Jahncke journeyed to Wooster, Ohio, last week and told the Young Men's Republican Club: "The present Congress opened with loud yells for leadership emanating from the Democratic side.

It is a very convincing speech, because this is what Lionel Barrymore has been doing in the cinema for 15 years...
There most probably is a neutron, smallest bit, last resolvable particle of Matter. Last Summer when Dr. W. Pauli of Zurich propounded the idea at Pasadena, the fact was less certain (TIME, June 29). Last week there was almost no doubt. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, brightest spot of British science, declared for the existence of neutrons. Ernest Baron Rutherford, director of the Cavendish Laboratory, confirmed the investigation. And no brash statements ever come from Professor Rutherford, 1908 Nobel Laureate, the man who established the existence and nature of radioactive transformations, the electrical structure...
