...Queerest effect of Stakhanovism has been to make Russia's famed Five-Year Plans look slow. The Moscow News is now caricaturing even Russia's previously sacrosanct planners, draws half-smiling, half-snarling workers in the act of striding through and kicking aside the Bolshevik plan bureaucrats...
...view of sunspot effect on radio was presented last week in Science by Radio Section Chief John Howard Dellinger of the U. S. Bureau of Standards. Dr. Dellinger had noticed a curious fade-out of daytime reception of high-frequency signals, occurring at almost uniform intervals approximating 54 days, twice the sun's rotation period. These mysterious mufflings, lasting a few minutes, were perceived this year on March 20, May 12, July 6, Aug. 30. Accordingly Dr. Dellinger predicted another fade-out on or just before...
...hissing when Tenor John Pane-Gasser appeared in Il Trovatore, uncontrolled laughter at Virginia Pemberton who as Micaela in Carmen gave the season's most inept performance. In Carmen Manager Longone interpolated a floor show by the popular dance team, Veloz & Yolanda.

...took Expert Dodds four days to work out a plan. He was safely back in Miami before it was made public. In effect the Dodds Plan reversed the Electoral Tribunal by providing that party electors in each province should decide among themselves whether to support the party nominee or another.

To the Menocalistas, who cared not a whit for the abstract justice of the Dodds Plan, it looked as if the Government was merely calling in another...
...portrayed by Pat O'Brien, is restored to his place in the sun on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera itself. Unfortunately. Jane Froman, whose part is small and devoid of any outlet for acting ability, photographs poorly and looks rather hard. Her voice registers well but the general effect is not nearly so fortunate as it is in the case of Melton. Pat O'Brien delivers the goods as usual and this reviewer would be glad to see him in a role worthy of his ability. Jean Muir and the ever-popular Frank McHugh round out a talented cast...
