...coincidence, either, that Nancy Walker seems to be onstage when most of the delightful putting much gusto into her acting as the roaring girl, she still manages to extract a good deal of humor from her material. It is not Restoration wit that gets the laughs when she is on; it is Nancy Walker, pure and simple. She wipes her nose with her sleeve and makes love to a cello with a savage determination that is generally both frightening and funny...
...Robert Runnels Williams, the victory marks a climax in a 40-year war against beriberi which he began, as it happened, in the Philippines. At 24, an unknown research chemist in Manila's Bureau of Science, Williams noted that chronic beriberi was dramatically cured by an extract made from rice bran. That was in 1910. It gave Williams the germ of an idea which flowered, 25 years later, in his isolating vitamin BI and then synthesizing it cheaply...
...that has just occurred to him. The most promising clue that has occurred to Dr. Kahn's wakeful brain during 25 years of serum tests is that any human blood, healthy or diseased, will produce its own distinctive pattern of reactions when mixed with particular concentrations of beefheart extract. (Syphilitic serum happens to produce a strong reaction with a concentration chosen for the purpose...
Remotes & Repeats. Heller could point to some fat facts & figures to justify his claim. TvA has already proved powerful enough to extract an estimated $8,000,000 in additional yearly wages from the networks. A closely-printed, 16-page code goes exhaustively into conditions of work, hours of rehearsal, rates of pay ($170 minimum for an hour-long show plus 22 hours of rehearsal), and such esoteric specialties as doubling, warmups, remotes, live repeats and after-shows. Heller is particularly proud of a clause which guarantees all performers their full original fee if a kinescope of a show is ever...
Last week two teams of doctors described chemicals that are as efficient as maggots at digesting dead tissue and other waste matter-not only in surface but in internal diseases. One is an extract from the pancreas, called trypsin, reported by Drs. Howard Reiser, Richard Patton and L. C. Roettig of Ohio State University. Trypsin, an enzyme often found in the excretions of maggots, has already proved itself valuable in cleaning out dead cells and pus in the chests of tuberculous patients (TIME, Nov. 6). "Its use in war wounds," said the Ohio doctors last week after a year...
