...three minutes a motion picture camera played against a laboratory screen at Rochester, N. Y., last week. In the picture were what seemed to be animated sausages approximately one-fourth of an inch long and one-twelth of an inch in diameter. They unfolded, grew, multiplied. They were bacteria magnified 2,000 times and photographed in motion by an ordinary moving picture camera ingeniously fitted to an ordinary microscope...

The heroine of Madame Wants No Children is a newlywed French wife whom the bleak sphinx, Venetian gondolas and an uxorious spouse cannot dislodge from night clubs. Even at home in Paris her life is a succession of jazz blares, pale lights and glittering stuffed shirts. Eventually, however, she joggles down...
