...most biting comedy yet written about Hollywood. After its preview, violent protests were made by rival organizations. Twentieth Century-Fox felt uneasiness because Joan Blondell burlesques Shirley Temple singing "The Good Ship Lolly-pop." Report had it that the character of Director Koslofski was a damaging caricature of Josef von Sternberg. Trade papers tittered that Stand-In laughed at the motion picture industry.

The route is by far the most direct (6,050 mi. against the present 11,000), involves stops at Archangel. Franz Josef Land, the Pole and the mouth of the Athabaska River in Alaska. Of greater value, however, are likely to be the expedition's magnetic observations, investigations of the direction and speed of ice-drifts, depths of the polar ocean, chemical and physical properties of different strata of water...
