...Wood has worked long and usefully at science, he has also had a lot of fun out of it-to an extent that makes him a unique character among U. S. physicists. Once he proved that the moon was not made out of green cheese-by obtaining a spectrographic analysis of a piece of green cheese and comparing it with one of the moon. He has always had a passion for making apparatus out of any odd piece of junk that came to hand. On one occasion he made a telescope mounting out of an old bicycle. On another...

Paramount's most important trend will be toward romantic U. S. history, with Union Pacific and The Texans. Other specials: If I Were King, with Ronald Colman; Knights of the Round Table...
Having once meshed, the two never pulled apart, stuck together even in Holly wood (Love Me Tonight, Mississippi). Except for Blue Moon, which was an independent song hit, their best songs (Mountain Greenery, My Heart Stood Still, I've Got Five Dollars, Ten Cents a Dance, The Lady Is a Tramp) have come right out of their shows...
