From there the outfit went to Glen Island, the Essex House, and the Camel Caravan in the ether. Success has been meteoric since then...
...weeks ago, Dr. Willard said, he took an ill-tempered, 20-lb. rhesus monkey named Jekal, asphyxiated it with ether, injected sodium citrate into its veins to prevent its blood from coagulating. When the animal's breathing and circulation had stopped, a chiropractor pronounced it "dead." Then Dr. Willard popped Jekal into an icebox where the temperature was kept at - 30° C. ( - 22° F.). Five days later he removed the small, rigid, grey clump of fur & flesh from the refrigerator, invited newshawks to watch the proceedings, began to thaw it slowly in a chamber equipped with heating...

Next he put the creature, a soft, brown handful, into an asphyxiating chamber which he pumped full of ether and oxygen. When the guinea pig was unconscious Dr. Willard replaced the etheroxygen with carbon dioxide, and with that atmosphere slowly cooled the guinea pig until it was ice-hard. In that dead state the hard, brown handful remained several hours...
There would also have been a new Cavaradossi, victim of Scarpia's evil plotting, if, as the curtain went up, Tenor Richard Crooks had not been under ether for a serious appendectomy and Oldster Giovanni Martinelli had not rushed on to take his place. A new Tosca at the Metropolitan is bound to be compared with other singers who have made the role seem great. There were people in last week's audience who remembered Milka Ternina, dramatically exciting but plain to look at. Emma Eames had beauty but her emotions were chilled. In pre-War days Olive...
