...ballet compares to the Lindy-hop. Skater Henie's No. i specialty, as it was Dancer Anna Pavlova's, is a swan dance. On the shrewd assumption that a cinema public which had never before investigated figure skating needed to be educated before witnessing the rarest flower of the art. Producer Darryl Zanuck insisted that she save it for a subsequent picture. What her cinema debut offers instead, in the interstices of a loosely woven story approximating Sonja Henie's own biography, is a series of simple routines climaxed by newsreels of her winning performance at Garmisch...
Painting very faintly in the manner of Bonnard and Renoir, Artist Malherbe is a vivid colorist, specializing in dashing, brilliant-hued landscapes, flower pieces and nudes. His brother Henry is a well-known music critic.

...abruptly and completely. Whenever he wants to smoke, he swallows a capsule containing one-eighth grain of lobeline. This is a drug which smells, tastes and affects the human system almost exactly as nicotine does. Nicotine comes from the leaves of any tobacco plant (Nicotiana), lobeline from the blue flower of the Indian tobacco plant (Lobelia inflata), a common U. S. weed which Indians used to smoke with true tobacco leaves. Lobeline, however, is not habit-forming as is nicotine. Dr. Dorsey has never found it necessary for a patient to take more than 18 doses of lobeline...
