...Ruddy, cigar-chewing Frank Knox seldom gets time for golf, at which he is a better-than-average dub. His substitute: harder work in his 15-minute morning round of setting-up exercises. His routine as he approaches 70: arm thrashings, a four-minute lope around suite...
Intrigued by such contrapuntal variations on a simple theme, many a dub of long standing has plucked up interest. Checker sales are ballooning. And the crusty, generally introverted old men of checkers who have long pored over the game that few understood, now have company and competition in the new recruits who talk familiarly of Millard Hopper and bumptious Willie Ryan...

The new film (called "Kodacolor") differs from former color films in that it makes a transparent negative from which prints can easily be made on paper.* As a negative, not only are its light-&-shade effects reversed but its colors appear complementary to those of nature...
