...came at 9:19, surrounded by agents of the Secret Police. Wan and pallid, he strode impassively into the station, stepping quickly, clad in an old, serviceable military cloak. At that symbol the crowd cheered, remembering that Lev Davidovich Trotsky had appeared thus when he organized and commanded the Red Army of 1,500,000 men. Today, however, Trotsky is as threadbare as his cloak. Man and symbol they passed, last week, into a drab railway car which rumbled out of Moscow at twenty minutes after nine. The crowd, moved but still perfectly docile, fell to sobbing plenteous Russian tears...
...Minister assumed office, last week, Chancellor Wilhelm Marx cleared up an old, so-called scandal involving the Defense Ministry by bluntly stating that in 1926 it sank large secret funds in defending the cinema industries of the Reich from U. S. competition. Although this involved a very wide interpretation of the Defense Ministry's duties, Chancellor Marx challenged critics to deny that German cinema firms were being rapidly swamped by U.

...York Stock Exchange), many a Wall Street man and Tammany Hall politician, Philip Payne (onetime editor of the New York Daily Mirror, whom Evangeline Adams warned against flying in the ill-fated Old Glory).

Last week in Manhattan, at the Ambassador Hotel, were shown 20 reproductions of famed paintings. These were not prints, photographs, copies, but facsimiles, produced according to a new and secret formula, to be known as Belvedere Facsimiles. Made in Vienna by one Ulf Seidl, painter, aided by scientific associates, their purpose was to reproduce, not merely the drawing, the light and shade, the color, the texture of the original painting, but to reproduce perfectly and precisely all these details, so that the appearance of the reproduction should be identical with the appearance of the original. In this purpose the Belvedere...
...process by which Belvedere facsimiles are produced is a carefully guarded secret. In outline, it consists of a combination of photography succeeded by a chemical process which echoes, to microscopic detail, upon a similar material and in most cases a surface of the same size, the colors of the original. The effect, while it has none of the impersonal cold quality of a copy or print, misses being a duplicate of its original by the same distinction that makes a phonographic reproduction, however much perfected, not necessarily inferior to but indubitably different from its model. Facsimiles are not however intended...
