...years ago, it continues to meet with practical objections. As background for a futuristic cinema it functions admirably. F. P. 1 is therefore exciting and at times interestingly realistic. Major Ellissen (Conrad Veidt) is an air hero riding the crest of his publicity. His best friend Captain Droste (Leslie Fenton) is sunk in the obscurity of an inventor's workroom. Ellissen uses his position to call attention to Droste's plan for a seadrome, persuades the Lennartz shipbuilding firm to construct it. Claire Lennartz (Jill Esmond) also falls a victim to his persuasiveness until he starts...
Meanwhile in Chicago a similar group had gathered in the Federal Reserve Bank: Melvin Traylor (First National). Stanley Field (Continental Illinois), Philip Clarke (City National), Solomon Smith (Northern Trust), Howard Fenton (Harris Trust), Charles G. Dawes and their fellows. Theirs were similar problems: $350,000,000 had been drawn from the Chicago banks in two weeks, much of it by banks in neighboring territory where the banking disease was bad. Governor Henry Horner of Illinois sat with them till 5 p.m., then retired to the Congress Hotel to sleep. At 1:45 a.m. he was aroused by telephone and taxied...
...prodigy of versatility and popularity was the late Fenton Benedict Turck-doctor, scientist, esthete. The variety among his close friends mirrored the variety of his interests-Railroader Leonor Fresnel Loree (see p. 45), Anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith, Physicist Albert Abraham Michelson, Sculptor Lorado Taft, Entomologist Leland Ossian Howard, Politician Sir Robert Laird Borden, Immunologist Theobald Smith. As doctor he was an internist, with digestive disorders his specialty. Last week, at the behest of Manhattan's August Holland Society, friends of the late Fenton Benedict Turck gathered to honor the posthumous publication of a book by him-Action...
Prodigious also is Fenton Benedict Turck Jr. He worked with test tubes before he could play marbles, cultivated streptococci before he could write his A B C's. At 9, a zealous, frail, brown-eyed boy, he lectured the Chicago Microscopical Society on microbes and laboratory technique, showed his own lantern slides. During a fatiguing lecture which ran far beyond his regular bedtime, he grew pale. A wise scholar picked up the child, held him inverted by his feet. Right-side up again Young Turck continued his lecture. Father Turck decided that biology excited the child too much, diverted...
...left halfback is Jimmy Hitchcock, baldish, small, fast, whom Auburn publicists like to compare with famed Red Grange. Quarterback "Ripper" Williams is a clever arrogant field general. The Tigers have a chinless end, David ("Gump") Ariail, who may make the All-American, a stuttering sophomore end named Bennie Fenton. So far this season. Auburn has made 255 points to its opponent's 34. Last week Auburn emerged from a close shave-14-to-7- against Georgia with a claim to its first Southern Conference Championship that will probably be substantiated by the Auburn-South Carolina game this week. Navy...
