...preparation of a Mickey Mouse short is much the same as for any solemn Hollywood picture. When the script is finished, "animators" draw Mickey's attitudes as at the beginning and end of each action. "Inbetweeners" draw the graduated poses between. "Inkers" place a transparent square of celluloid on the drawing and outline it boldly in ink on the celluloid. The first square is superimposed on a painted background. A picture is taken. A second is superimposed; and so on. While the film is run off in a soundproof room, an orchestra plays the score. Disney talks for Mickey...
...best that can be said about "What. No Beer," the companion-feature, is that it is fine beer propaganda, now a rather useless strip of celluloid.

The celluloid plate lowers the dome of the skull, prevents brain attachments, consequently prevents brain stretching. The operation is a plastic one. The scalp grows over the celluloid skull insert, which does not fracture, gives perfect brain protection...

Half of the imported camphor is synthesized from U. S. turpentine that has been shipped abroad. New York University's Professor John Joseph Ritter offered a cheap, comparatively simple artificial camphor right in the U. S. from home-produced materials. He uses turpentine, sulfuric acid, common salt, soda ash, aniline, sulfur...
