Gone, too, unfortunately, are much of the liveliness and visual wit of such Chaplin achievements as City Lights (1931) and The Circus (1928).

They still cannot tell whether the plastic valve can be used in other types of heart disease. All they will say now is that they expect it to be a big help in many cases of damage to the aorta caused by rheumatic fever. (The exceptions: the very young, the feeble and the aged.) There are thousands of such cases in the U.S. each year...
