...November 1929 the Winchell column in the New York tabloid Daily Mirror read: "If I were king I would throttle the swift talker who got me to consent to serve on the board of governors for the planned Fleetwood Beach Club at Long Beach. N. Y., just because Eddie Cantor. George Jessel, Bugs Baer. Mark Hellinger and others were so gullible. The enterprise, it appears, is being worked along the lines of another 'racket,' to which I am opposed and I hope others won't invest in the damb thing because our names are being prostituted...
...Carpenter and the Oysters. Two days after Miss Henry got her contract, the picture started in the Victorian drawing room where Alice is lolling in an embroidered armchair and chatting to her cat about the enchanted room which she is sure exists on the other side of the fireplace mirror.

At present the mirror, which has just been silvered, is being put into place. The adjustments of the telescope will take one month and results are expected to be obtained by early spring...
...remove hat, gleves, coat, and face, and reveal nothing but the wall beyond him is not an entirely new sensation (c.f. Dracula looking into a mirror and seeing nothing); but it is none the less grotesque and even somewhat amusing. The producers of "The Invisible Man" have not taken their creation too seriously, and so they have him do a jig down a country road with nothing but his trousers and an hysterically fugitive old woman to indicate his presence...
