...Unie" palled (even though a heavy date might pay the extra fee and take you to sit in the overstuffed seats in the balcony), we would get on the "Mass Ave" streetcar and go into town to the Fine Arts Theater around the corner from the old Loew's State-Theater. There we would sit entranced by Rene Clair's Sous Les Toits de Paris and Le Million or Congress Dances, a charming old chestnut about the Congress of Vienna, replete with waltzes and romantic intrigue, which for some reason or other we used to pride ourselves on having seen...

The Swiss alchemist Paracelsus, who was himself considered rather demonic, gave lectures on the creation of a homunculus and even offered a recipe of ingredients, including human blood and putrefied semen.

...three or even four cinemas. Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall, the grande dame of U.S. movie palaces, only narrowly survived last year. Nor do all those that remain cater to the arts. Chicago's old Century Theater metamorphosed into a multilevel shopping center. The old Loew's Valencia in Queens, N.Y., restored at a cost of $250,000, now houses an evangelical church; angels' wings and clothing have been added to the 12-ft.-tall Indian maidens inside...
