...Moon (Warner Bros.) represents a valiant effort on the part of its producers to understand and satisfy the mystic cravings of that big segment of the U. S. public now known as "jitter-bugs." Whether or not jitterbugs will like Garden of the Moon remains to be seen, but normal cinemaddicts probably will not. A morbidly cheerful little study of the rages induced in a café proprietor (Pat O'Brien) by his hysterical efforts to hire a satisfactory orchestra, it reaches its comic peak when he makes his pressagent (Margaret Lindsay) believe he is dying in order...

...complex nitrogen compounds, among them cadaverine*), as silky as silk itself, can be produced in sizes one-tenth to one-seventy-fifth finer than silk filament, and in some sizes has 150% greater tensile strength. Its elasticity is such that it can be stretched up to 700% of its normal length. So far no one has attempted to produce it commercially. Hence chemists do not know what it will cost, though it is estimated it will be somewhat dearer than rayon, may cost even as much as silk. If it could be manufactured inexpensively, however, it seemed likely to threaten...

...like Dr. Bock's newly announced experiment in "normal" analysis, the handful of men studying in these fledgling learning outlets have the responsibility of pioneers. The frontier, a difficult and uncharted one in both cases, is theirs to push back. Years hence the work they do now will become only too evident.

...additional heat, but they were mistaken. For the temperature of Gamma dropped from 28,800° F. to 15,660°. Last May the star attained its greatest brilliance, suddenly "took a nose dive," said Dr. Baldwin, as its light ebbed. Paradoxically its heat increased. It is now at normal temperature again. At present it is racked by tremendous disturbances and is "blowing away its atmosphere." Most logical explanation, said Dr. Baldwin, was that Gamma's compressed atmosphere expanded so rapidly that its gasses were cooled. Thus the star grew brighter and cooler at the same time...
