...Light from the explosion passes through a heavy quartz window in the cylinder head to a stationary lens, thence to a series of 30 rapidly moving lenses which follow the film and hold each image motionless on it during exposure. The spark is seen first like a lone star in a black sky, then a flame front spreading and backwashing around the base of the chamber. At one stage back pressure was observed to make combustion-produced carbon dioxide hotter than the actually burning gases. Pressure-curve recorders enable motormen to cor relate pressure with flame front propagation, a long...
Late one afternoon last week a lone man, following a porter carrying his bags, traipsed through Washington's Union Station among the crowd hurrying to catch the 6 o'clock train to Manhattan. In his seat in the parlor car he was just one more traveler.

...Lone Wolf has returned for the ast time, apparently, since he has got himself married in this interesting picture about a jewel thief who reforms and marries the intended victim. We are rather glad Melvyn Douglas met Gail Patrick and decided to change his taking ways because there have been so many 'best jewel thiefs in all of Europe" on the screen in the last two years that we were getting rather confused. The butler and valet have come into an increasingly important role in many stores lately and Raymond Walburn justifies his promotion to the rank of valet...
