...Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory, Peter Kapitza had done such astonishing work on magnetism and low temperatures that they built a special laboratory for him. By building up and suddenly short-circuiting huge accumulations of electricity through a set of coils, Kapitza produced magnetic fields five times more powerful than any before...
Based on the wild and woolly saga of the Family Barrymore, the play makes little attempt to disguise the famous trio, Ethel, John, and Lionel, under any pretense of fiction. Even under the pseudonym of Anthony Cavendish, John is still breaking up cameras and swatting directors; even as Julie Cavendish, Ethel is still having great hand-wringing emotions.

Even the Barrymores have earthly...
When the first World War broke over Europe in 1914, the physicists at Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, famed citadel of pure science, scattered to Government Service, as they will doubtless do in 1939. But during the first World War the late revered Lord Rutherford, great formulator of the atom's internal structure, stuck to his post. He was on the verge of splitting the atom. When a committee of scientists sought his help on a method for submarine detection, he put them off by saying that if he could prove atomic disintegration it would be more important...
...Astaire and Ginger Rogers are well fitted to fill the Castles' dancing slippers is an understatement. Astaire and Rogers symbolize their era quite as completely as the Castles symbolized theirs. Astaire, born Austerlitz in Omaha, is eleven years younger than Vernon Castle. With his sister Adele, now Lady Cavendish, he was the top U. S. stage dancer of the 1920s. With Ginger Rogers he has been the top cinema dancer of the 1930s. In popularity, proficiency, appearance and earning capacity, Ginger Rogers is at least the equal of Irene Castle in her best days...
