...consideration recently shown Miss Gloria Vanderbilt, but Cupid has ninety days to make a comeback. These are packed into sixty minutes of hilarious entertainment, thanks chiefly to the dialogue and the capable acting of Miss Dunne and her four-legged friend.

...animation cels are assembled, together with backgrounds and other eels of intermediate background, and taken to the camera. In Snow White, the $75,000 multiplane camera is the one chiefly used-it is much like any other movie camera, except that its action can be governed to expose one frame of film and then stop.

...region of heat waves, naturally emitted by all objects warmer than absolute zero (TIME, May 8, 1933). It turned on warning lights, rang a gong when a fog-shrouded vessel passed another ship. Few months later Master Mariner Flavel M.
