Harvard's leading educators long have basked in a favorable glow of publicity as they have distinguished themselves in academic, administrative, and political fields. It is therefore doubly to the University's credit that one of its minor departments should be brought into the limelight by a state-wide emergency, and that a specialist of Mr. Shepard's ability should be found directing an experimental station, the Forest potentially so great an asset to the state...
...only when critics give it the final seal of their approval by not mentioning it at all. Valley of the Giants is photographically far enough ahead of its time to deserve this type of accolade. Rich forest greens, the deep tones of turn-of-the-century interiors, the cheerful glow of full bottles on a well-stocked bar help immeasurably to give the picture character and substance.

Last week at the Milwaukee convention of the American Chemical Society, brilliant young Dr. Rothemund reported that he had finally "activated" chlorophyll in his laboratory. When chlorophyll is heated in certain organic solvents it exhibits chemiluminescence (radiation at low temperatures): gives off "a beautiful red glow." The magnesium or zinc salts of porphyrins also exhibit chemiluminescence when heated in the same manner. Thus chlorophyll not only absorbs light but somehow transforms it and gives it forth again. At present Dr. Rothemund is trying to "correlate the amount of energy dissipated by this radiation to the amount...

It is in delimiting his characters without disfiguring them, in acknowledging their souls but questioning their perspective that Chekhov gives to The Sea Gull a kind of ember like glow...
Little of that glow shines through the present production. Critic Stark Young's new acting version is natural and charming, but last week's performance showed only a series of moods-that time-honored way of passing the buck about the dark, difficult Russian soul. Actor Lunt performed admirably as Trigorin, Actress Fontanne badly as Irina. She made the Russian woman a ham actress in a farce, displayed a rather alarming affinity for the role...
