...dull, or if their dullness is due to the unerringly wooden touch of Frederick & Fanny Hatton who adapt most of them to the U. S. stage. Last month Laszlo Fodor's I Love an Actress was presented in Manhattan. Like an interesting photographic landscape, it had form and pattern but no color. Equally lifeless is A Church Mouse, another load of Fodor which relates the story of a drab little girl who has cunning enough to persuade a rich man to let her replace his mistress-secretary, finally to make her his wife. The element which made I Love...
...less noxious than those of Basil Rathbone, who played the role on the stage. Doris Kenyon, who is now no older in appearance than when she was an actress in silent cinemas years ago, helps out. But the real trouble lies in a story untrue to everything except a pattern which went out when third-rate writers stopped imitating Kipling. Typical shots: William Powell sneering at a young girl; leering at the doctor with whose wife he plans an escapade...
...Open Champion in 1922, who had just given her a lesson: "No doubt you will." Actually, there was a great deal of doubt. In the field at The Country Club of Buffalo, N. Y. last week there were Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, defending champion; square-jawed Maureen Orcutt who patterns her game on Mrs. Vare's and on whose game Helen Hicks has tried to pattern hers; and Virginia ("Gino") Van Wie of Chicago, who has never won the championship but has twice been runner-up. In addition to these four, the best women golfers...
...overtones of the strings and transmit them to a loudspeaker. Encased in a box of standard shape but small size (4 ft. 7 in. long-a concert grand piano is 9 ft. long), the strings are stretched in radiating groups of five instead of the usual criss-cross pattern. Fewer strings for each note are needed: high notes on the "Claviphone" require two. while on a standard piano three are necessary for the proper volume. To each group of five strings is attached a microphone; to each microphone a condenser which regulates the tone. Hammers are smaller than in standard...
Hushed was the hall when the ice cream plates were cleared away. Impressively the winners were announced. One of the senior Guildsmen had won on his home ground-Raymond S. Doerr of Battle Creek, Mich. Graduated from high school in February, he was encouraged by his father-a pattern maker for a plumbing manufacturer-to build a coach instead of looking for work. He set up a workshop in the family's basement. The other senior winner was a boy named Albert Fischer from Waukegan Ill. He was let out of his draftsman's job, spent...
