...expensive pictures will be hits. Length has another advantage in that it helps combat what producers call the "double bill evil." An additional reason for Suzy's length is that the Legion of Decency would not have permitted a straightforward adaptation of Herbert Gorman's mildly lubricious novel. Consequently the full quota of Harlow appeal which the picture contains had to be injected gradually rather than in short strong doses. Aside from the stuffy epic manner which ill befits its subject, it is a fair sample of its school-frivolous, kinetic and absurd, but not without real moments...
This osteopathic attention to education represents but one effort of osteopaths' uphill struggle for respect of the nation and respect for themselves as professional men and women. Last week's convention in Manhattan was novel in its lack of brawling denunciation of Osteopathy's "enemies"-i. e., the medical profession. Osteopaths now frown on blatant advertising. They have a Bureau of Public Health & Education "to place some osteopathic literature in every public library, school library and newspaper library in America...
...MAGNIFICENT HOAX-E. Phillips Oppenheim-Little, Brown ($2). Last week E. Phillips Oppenheim published his 100th novel. This year rounds out a half-century of writing. Next October he will be 70.

At the age of 41 he has produced some 24 books, including novels, plays, poems, anthologies, travel books, essays, charting his progression from an accomplished satirist to a troubled moralist, from a contented mocker at contemporary society to an earnest preacher to it. Tall (over 6 ft.), extremely thin, bookish, Aldous Huxley gave up his plan to be a doctor at 17, when...
...EARTH TREMBLES-Jules Romains -Knopf ($3). When last week the fifth volume of Jules Romains' super-novel (Men of Good Will-TIME, June 5, 1933 et seq.) appeared, no one knew how many more were to come. Even Author Romains himself could not or would not say how nearly he had brought his big job to completion. Readers who had watched this literary skyscraper rise from its foundations were still unable to agree whether it actually was to be a skyscraper, a museum, a prison or what. Skeptics still cocked a wary eye at the construction, averred that...
