...anniversary number. Editor George Teeple Eggleston resisted the temptation to fill the book with reprints of 50-year-old drawings and text. The cover is a dainty color-photograph of a group modelled in soap by Lester Gaba-a girl of the iSSo's and' a modern girl (platinum blonde) raising goblets to the famed Life cherub. The body of the magazine looks like a normal current issue with these exceptions: Frontispiece is a reproduction of the first cover, drawn by Artist Mitchell-a pen-&-ink sketch showing Father Time fiddling while two exceedingly fat cherubs dance together...
...hill. Last year he got a leave of absence, went out to California's Mt Wilson. To Mt. Wilson's 100-in. reflector he attached a photo-electric cell (which translates faint light into a current of electricity) and continued his studies of the brightness and color of stars. At Ann Arbor Mich, last month he was ready to tell the National Academy of Sciences that estimates of star distances from the earth must be revised from 10% to 200%.

He decided to make extensive sketches in color of modern buildings in Germany, Austria, Holland and Scandinavia...
Uptown New York was written by Vina Delmar with dangerous recklessness as to motivation but with a good eye for local color. The hero and heroine meet each other in a ladies' room-which, as the cinema becomes less pastoral, is growing in popularity as a romantic setting-but thereafter the story manages to keep closer to the kitchen than the bathroom. Good sequence: Eddie taking his girl to a wrestling match, proposing to her during a flying mare. Flesh (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Poor old Wallace Beery does not have a very happy time in the Cinema...
