...duel with the English ace, Major Lanoe G. Hawker, whose plane he brought down after a fierce, magnificent combat, the producers waste three-quarters of the film telling a poppycock love story about one of his friends. Most of the photography is poor. One of the rare good shots: newsreel of the actual crowd waiting in Berlin streets to see Richthofen's body carried by. Gold Diggers of Broadway (Warner). Avery Hopwood's comedy about a rich man who tried to save his heir from a chorus girl is the framework of an indifferent screen musical show...
...product of the Notre Dame journalism school, he had cub-reported on Louisville papers, joined the United Press in New York in 1919, been shifted to Washington in 1921.

When it lay still, Driver Bible, thrown far away, and one of the photographers, a big fellow named Charles Traub, crushed by three tons of pitchpoling steel, were dead. The film of the accident, complete in Traub's camera, went out at once to Pathe...
Once the staid recorders of fires, parades, baby-shows and ship launchings, newsreel photographers are now famed for the risks they take. Three weeks before his death, Newsreeler Traub went down in the submarine 54. In a bathing suit, with water up to his neck, with his camera mounted near the engineroom ceiling, he photographed the crew escaping one by one with "artificial lungs" (TIME Feb. 18). The device was a success, but not for Traub. He stayed where he was until the U. S. S. Mallard on the surface pumped the submarine full of air at high pressure, bringing...
