...cancer or benign tumor in its early stage," said Inventor Simjian. "Another very important point is that for the first time it becomes possible to illuminate blood vessels." Among other photographic devices invented by Mr. Simjian are a fogged silver screen for projecting microscopic photographs, a self-focusing camera, an automatic developing tank, a system of mirrors and a camera with which a subject can photograph any desired aspect of his face, and a set of mirrors for dress and hat shops inside which the customer stands while she sees her figure or head slowly revolve...
...challenger was in such pooi physical condition. Even after a committee of physicians had examined Baer's 210-lb. hulk, pronounced it hale, it seemed improbable that he would be a match for a champion who weighed 50 Ib. more, and stood 4 in. taller than he.

...more than made up for by the antics of Aunt Hotty and her secretary; the busy Bertie. Mr. Marshall cannot be blamed for an uncompromising role but he most certainly cannot escape the censure that his portrayal is uninspired throughout. His stride is weird, he turns from the camera when the audience wants from the camera when the audience wants to see him and his countenance is insufferably blank.
