...equipped with five lenses, and weighs about 105 pounds; however, one man has no difficulty in handling it. This 5-lens camera has been found to be the best machine for taking photographs of large areas with the minimum amount of flying and using the minimum amount of film. Its range is approximately one mile for every 1000 feet of altitude; that is, if the plane were flying at 27,000 feet, the negative would represent an area measuring 27 miles each way. It is in the finishing of this negative that the restitution printer is used. If a print...
...Radio). Crossing its fingers behind a burlesqued title, this film is a clumsy attempt to satirize the cinema theme of regeneration. But Director Mark Sandrich and several up-&-coming young actors have an attractively lighthearted time with the heavyhanded script. As Aggie the regenerator Wynne Gibson is a slum beauty weary of the hands of men but wearily willing to go to bed for a night's lodging. Beetle-browed young William Gargan plays Red Branahan, the alley tough who could make a dishonest living if he could ever bring himself to run away from the police. After...
...that time Mr. Wiggin ruled a bigger bank than any American before or since: a bank with $148,000,000 each of capital and surplus, with over $2,000,000,000 in deposits. Days of trouble followed.

Notwithstanding the depreciatory comment on the plot, as I have said already, "Broadway Through A Keyhole" has its better points. If you can detach yourself from the story, You will enjoy this film. Frances Williams sings one song and makes you wish that she were given more opportunities to display her talent. Eddie Foy, Jr., and Constance Cummings do a number to a John Reld, Jr. background entitled "when you were the girl on the skooter and I was the boy on the bike." It is one of the best that I have seen in the musical movies. Then there...
...Three Cornered Moon," the other film at the University, is unimportant whimsy, but amusing. The title is puzzling until you discover that it is a stock whose fluctuation upsets the Dimplegar family which resides in Brooklyn. When the Rimplegars had money, they were mad. Poverty sobers them; the final scene of the movie shows the Rimplegar boys piling-on their sister, Elizabeth, and her flance, Mary Boland takes the part of the stupid mother in the family who finds life simple and amusing. As usual Miss Boland makes the most of her part. Claudette Colbert, Richard Arlen, and Hardie Albright...
