There is something not quite English in the manner with which the British Government tries to stamp out the name of its former Prince and King. Few men in high office seem to remember how much service he gave the Empire as Prince of Wales, endlessly traveling to important markets to help English business and to win friends for his country. Without one public word of complaint or bitterness he gave in to the appeals of his Ministers and, abdicating, left England for three months of loneliness abroad. Only people in other countries can tell the English how much...
What got observers Street and Stevenson to thinking that a new sort of corpuscle was in the offing was that the behavior of the cosmic ray particles was not at all like the accepted manner of an electron, which characteristically forms high energy photons, which in turn form more electrons to produce the phenomena known as "electron showers." Due to these showers electrons soon lose their energy, and consequently haven't enough "push" to make much progress through lead. These newly-discovered specks, however, pass through ten centimeters of the metal almost undeviated, with little appreciable loss of energy...

Among its actors were two MARCH OF TIME voices and Stefan...
Turn Off The Moon (Paramount), first effort of cinema's only woman producer, Mrs. Fanchon Simon, was not planned in the grand manner. By all the gauges Hollywood uses to measure a picture's importance, such as cast names, expensive sets and the fame of writers and directors, it should have remained merely a modest little musical for double bills. By a rare cinematic accident, it successfully refutes its sales bracket. Its gags and tunes are good, its patter fast. Above all it has the unprefigured value which is generated in a musical when most of the participants...
