...pure, and that all low-born theatrical folk promptly speak correct English as soon as they take to reading the Bible and consorting with the proper people. The picture might have been interesting because it brought together for the first time Marion Davies and Clark Gable (with the latter's name in larger type in all press advertisements except in Hearstpapers). But the combination contributes nothing to Miss Davies' reputation as a comedienne, nor to Mr. Gable's conquests as No. 1 U. S. cinema lover. Polly (Miss Davies), a pert, saucy trapeze artist, is badly hurt...
...rediscount rate from 3½%, where it had stood since Oct. 16, to 3%,. Immediate results were a rise in Government bond prices, a falling off in several foreign exchanges. The former was taken to mean that the lower rate will aid the Treasury in its financing problems; the latter, that Europe's alarm over the dollar has died out.

According to the new theory, the neutron is a close combination of the more familiar parts of atomic structure, the election and the proton. These bear charges of electricity, the former a negative one and the latter a positive. The neutron, being a combination, is thus a neutral cross between both. For this reason, it has been considered very difficult for physicists to prove its existence, since neutrons would pass through ordinary matter without having any magnetic or electrical effects. The gravitational effect of neutrons passing close to some atomic heart or nucleus has been a theoretical possibility...
