...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. Camera had trained with characteristic solemnity. Six weeks of roadwork, six daily rounds of boxing and a Spartan diet made his muscles swell with awesome health when he clambered into his corner of the ring at the Madison Square Garden bowl in Long Island City.

Corvelli's assignment: to take another picture of Camera-shy Roosevelt Jr. as he rowed on the Harvard freshman crew in the Henley regatta. In the Barge Club Roosevelt Jr., grinning hugely, walked over to Corvelli, offered his hand, said: "I meant to write you a letter about busting up your camera that night. I've been...

...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. It is difficult, however, to say whether he, or the author, is responsible...
