...cast, leaving most of them intact for their grand reunion later. Success or failure of such a picture as The Sisters depends largely on how well it evokes the mood of an era which lies within memory's horizon for many people who will see it. In this respect, Milton Krims's screen play, Anatole Litvak's direction and the acting of Flynn and Miss Davis are eminently successful. A trifle pretentious in its narrative manner, The Sisters has the salient virtue of making it clear that in 1908 that sleepy year seemed just as fateful...
...relative strength of a husband's and wife's sex drive and ability of a wife to experience sexual satisfaction. But many marriages in which other psychological adjustments are satisfactory rank in the highest category of happiness despite the wife's failure in the latter respect. One wife in three rarely or never reaches such enjoyment. Only one in five always does so. This failure causes the husband unhappiness almost as often as the wife. If this failure is not overcome in the first year of marriage, it is unlikely ever to be. Its causes are probably...
Towards competitive examinations Dr. Lowell shows the utmost respect and he has statistics to back up his premise that marks are a very accurate criterion of success after college. Life is one great competition, he implies, and he who can organize his forces best at an examination at college will do the same afterward.

...executive board's report at Cleveland, President Lasser and his 25 colleagues claimed credit for: a raise in Southern relief minima from $21 to $26 per month; sufficient Federal relief funds to care for the present peak of 3,102,000 WPAsters (see col. 1); a growing respect for the Alliance in Congress. David Lasser's next demands on Harry Hopkins and Congress will be a 20% increase in WPA wages, to bring them up to local union standards, and a $6,600,000,000 work relief outlay to make jobs for 4,000,000 over the next...
...theorem that "the camera cannot lie" is one banality which no self-respect-ing photographer ever repeats. Unless a camera is skilfully used it can produce mechanical lies on the negative, and in many kinds of light or shadow even expert photographers do not yet know how to reproduce what they see. Under the best technical circumstances, moreover, a photograph tells precisely that fraction of truth allowed by the camera's brief interval of exposure and limited field of vision. This fraction may be very slight or very great, depending on the photographer's luck, care and awareness...
