That, with wise direction, he can achieve something beyond the manly muteness on which his reputation as an actor has hitherto reposed, Gary Cooper recently proved in the Frank Borzage-Ernst Lubitsch Desire. Herein he gives further evidence of a sense of humor, thereby helps its authors and an expert cast make Mr. Deeds Goes to Town altogether worthwhile entertainment...
...oldest working educators in the U. S. cast a pair of undimmed eyes over a vast stone mansion, a remodeled greenhouse, two new French Renaissance buildings. Together with 38 teachers, 535 students, these edifices constituted a university no smaller than the Princeton at which big J. (for John) Duncan Ernst Spaeth had arrived 31 years before. Now Princeton's longtime English professor, still as shaggy and vital as an airedale, J. Duncan Spaeth had traveled 1,000 miles westward to dedicate a library, his first official act as president-elect of fledgling University of Kansas City. At his Kansas...

Back at Friedrichshafen after four days of high-altitude stumping, the Hindenburg underwent a swift overhaul, to prepare the brand-new ship for its real test-a voyage to South America under Captain Ernst August Lehmann. On its first transatlantic trip the Hindenburg, carrying 30 passengers, was scheduled to reach Rio de Janeiro in 80 hours. The voyage will be no novelty to Captain Lehmann. He grew up with the science of airship operation, was for years Dr. Hugo Eckener's right-hand...
