...Purdue University (Lafayette, Ind.) Physicist Karl Lark-Horovitz last week showed big magic lantern pictures of atoms in action. In oldtime magic lanterns, a strong light shone through an illustrated glass slide. A lens projected an enlarged image of the picture upon a screen several feet away from the lantern. In Dr. Lark-Horovitz's arrangement the screen is a sheet of sensitive photographic film 9 ft. from the lantern light. The lantern light is a vacuum tube projecting a strong beam of x-rays. For slides he used a thin sheet of copper or shallow containers of volatile...
...often a mere exposition of secondary sexual characters. When genuine works of art are remodeled to conform to the movie-goers taste, the author's subtleties and fine touches are deleted in a surpassingly stupid manner. This was only too painfully obvious to those who saw the screen version of "An American Tragedy" or who watched the final scene in the Hollywood conception of "A Farewell to Arms," where Lieutenant Henry grasps Katherine's corpse in his arms, looks out of the window at an Armistice demonstration, and loudly exclaims: "Peace...
Jane Mast, who is rather unconvincing early in the evening, develops a personality that is persuasive. She has lines which would tax the powers of many screen stars, such as "Ah, I want only the sky, the sea, the earth, simple things," and on the whole emerges unscathed. Harry Hutchinson '33 does an excellent impersonation of a sexagenarian. John Cromwell '36 and J. R. Yungblut '35 also sustained important parts in the production with professional skill. The sets were very realistic and were cleverly handled for seven changes of scene. The Dramatic Club has brought forth another play that deserves...
...years the Classic Yale man of fiction, and whose adventures at Mory's in the Old Brick Row, in Professor Beer's classes and at Harvard football games, in those days played at Springfield, have been familiar to countless readers since the middle '90s, will shortly appear upon the screen and over the radio in strictly modern dress. No longer a part of the New Haven tradition of bulldogs and turtle-necked sweaters, when the original Mortaritya and their golden lucks were a fragrant reality and when fence rush and freshman fraternities both flourished as glorious campus institutions. Frank...
Well, if this is so, and Dean Lobdell should know whereof he speaks, the campus at least more accurately and with greater fidelity imitates the screen than the screen recreates the campus, since film views of the academic life have usually been more comical than representative. But somehow it is hard to visualize the bright young men of New Haven and Cambridge assuming to any very great degree the dramatic attitudes of Hollywood, even in its more turtle-necked moments. Screen commonplaces unblushingly uttered by collegians on location would evoke inextinguishable mirth at Soldiers Field or in the precincts...
