...Hebraic incantations of Elohim and Adonai a sacred promise was made in Detroit one night last week. The Jew Sender ben Henie swore before Jehovah that, if his unborn child should be a girl, he would marry her to the son of his faithful neighbor Nissen. But Nissen died leaving his son poor while Sender grew rich and increasingly greedy. The holy promise was broken, just as it was in Sholom Ansky's mystical drama. This time The Dybbuk was having its U. S. premiere as an opera, which has had considerable success during the past two years...
...stage strangely dark the pact between Sender and Nissen was pledged in such a leisurely prolog that many a Detroiter shifted uneasily, began to fear for the evening to come. First act picked up when the scene changed to the interior of a synagog. Comics were the bearded batlans who droned their prayers for a kopek or two, spent their earnings on vodka. A tragic, pale-faced figure was Hanan, Nissen's son, torn between the Talmud and the cabalistic mysticism which used to be feared by all good Jews. By prayers and fasting Hanan had hoped finally...
...promoters, it was announced, are still free to use the outgoing mails to return contestants' money or to award prizes in their current contest. But any letter addressed to Grand National Treasure Hunt or the Association for Legalizing American Lotteries will henceforth be stamped FRAUDULENT, returned to its sender...
...Zworykin sender the image to be televised falls on a small sheet of mica covered with millions of microscopic dots of photosensitive cesium. Each tiny dot receives an electric charge according to the amount of light that falls on it. A beam of electrons shot from a cathode tube and controlled by rapidly oscillating magnetic fields weaves back & forth across the sheet of mica 6,000 times per second. The beam discharges the electropositive tension in the dots, and the changing pattern of this discharge modulates a current passing through the sheet. The modulated current, fed into a radio transmitter...
...Farnsworth sender the image falls on a photosensitive cathode surface without dots. Electrons knocked out of the cathode by the light image in random directions are brought to a focus by a stationary magnetic field. This "electronic image" corresponds to the light image. By means of oscillating magnetic fields, the entire electronic image is moved back & forth 7,200 times a second in front of an aperture. The number of electrons escaping through the aperture constitutes a varying electric current, which, amplified and transmitted, controls the "oscillight" in the receiving set where the images are conversely reproduced...
