...beauty contest. Later, in the cast of George White's Scandals, she began to sing songs sitting, droop-lipped, on a piano; then in Americana, then in her own night club, she climbed from the piano-top to success. When Miami persuaded Universal to hold the film premiere of Show Boat in its town instead of Palm Beach last month, Helen Morgan went by plane from Manhattan to climb upon the inevitable piano, stimulated by the applause of many notables. When she had sung, Joe Frisco capered, W. C. Fields was called from his balcony seat to tell...
Like Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and many another European state, France has long had a system of restricting U. S. film imports. The reason is similar to that which caused Congress to put a tariff on French gowns and hats. Supreme and unrivaled in their own fields are Parisian modistes and Hollywood producers.

...definite electrical potential, or tension; that as that potential decreases the cell becomes enfeebled until it dies. When an electric current with a potential opposite to that of a cell is passed through it, then that cell dies. The cell's potential depends on its semipermeable film, on certain electrolytic concentrations, water, temperatures, oxidation. They all create the potential. It is the electrical charge on the cell which permits the cell to adapt itself to changes. Oxidation occurs only in the presence of the charge and in turn creates the charge. After his observations, Dr. Crile believes that...

Mary Pickford has not performed vocally, for many a year. Her script was hurt when its sex morality was .cut over for film use and a windy, incredible courtroom scene introduced'. Her cast is bad and her director no genius'. But somehow, as- though to prove to the world which has called her "America's Sweetheart" that her talent does not share the tawdriness of the phrase, she turns...
...something better than the Hollywood setting with which we are provided. The President is represented as a stainless Sir Galahad championing the superior ideals of the American people and brought to infinite distress by contact with the awful depravity of Europe and its statesmen. Mr. Baker's film story is, in short, the oldest in the world. It is nothing less and nothing more than the conflict between good and evil, between spiritual conceptions and material appetites, between generosity and greed, between moral earnestness and underhand intrigue, between human sympathy and callous selfishness." Mr. Churchill also grills the whole...
