...point George Raft exposed his hairy chest. Half of the audience chortled loudly; from a very small minority were heard subdued sighs; the rest gasped. The point is small, but any director who believes that unnecessary scenes, in which women or men undress, will make the movie more popular is hopelessly deluded. The objection is not based on prudery or smugness. But superfluous scenes break the continuity of a story and spoil the effect of those following for some time...
...known as organizer of President Machado's ruffianly strong-arm squad, the "Partida de la Porra" (Party of the Bludgeon). What he got was no taxi. A green automobile swung in to the curb. Somebody fired both barrels of a sawed-off shotgun. Sixteen slugs plowed through his chest, killed him instantly. One of the first at the scene of the assassination was Brigadier Antonio Ainciart, head of the national police, who put in a busy morning chasing reporters and smashing cameras. In the suburbs police stopped a green automobile containing three passengers and a sawed-off shotgun. They...
...baleful season. No longer the dull throb of an orchestra, like drums in far off mountains, sounds in the gilded ballroom. Dresses black and gold and red and ochre, have been folded away in the cedar chest against the coming of a new campaign. Great grandmother's ear rings have gone back into mother's jewelry box.

King Kong, "conceived" by Merian Coldwell Cooper, was not made entirely by enlarging miniatures. Kong is actually 50 ft. tall, 36 ft. around the chest. His face is 6½ ft. wide with 10-in. teeth and ears 1 ft. long. He has a rubber nose, glass eyes as big as tennis balls. His furry outside is made of 30 bearskins. During his tantrums, there were six men in his interior running his 85 motors...
...reviler was not the American's sports page, but the Sunday supplement American Weekly. One Sunday four years ago it presented a double-page feature headlined "How Science Proves Its Theory of Evolution." Dominating the spread was a huge picture of a gorilla with sloping brow, massive chest, treelike arms and legs. Alongside the gorilla was a picture of Stanislaus Zbyszko in wrestling stance, showing his sloping brow, massive chest, etc., etc. Read the caption: "Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Wrestler, Not Fundamentally Different from the Gorilla in Physique...
