...simplest way to explain it is to say that we have put knees on our automobiles. Each front wheel will be attached individually to the chassis by its own soft spring. When it encounters a bump or a hole, it will rise or fall independently, as your leg is lifted or straightened by its knee without affecting your other leg or the equilibrium of your body. The result will be that the wheel, not the passenger, will...
This slender story tells of nothing more than the frustration of some small people, their dependence on chance, their suspicious efforts to avoid what is simplest and best for them, their loneliness and the simple decorum of their pleasures. In July 14 Director Clair's chief advance is in further developing and expressing the characters of that small troupe of actors that he has slowly assembled for their humane spontaneity. There is beautiful lively Annabella, half ingénue, half adult, whom he found for Le Million. There is stubborn-mouthed, idealistic Georges Rigaud and Raymond Cordy with...
...Belling of the University of California recorded their reflections with photomicrographic equipment. As to the substance of the genes. Dr. Morgan surmises that they are single, or perhaps small clusters of, complex chemical molecules. His view of inheritance is purely mechanistic, his view of life purely materialistic. At its simplest, life to him is nothing more than a sunbeam jiggling on an atom of carbon...
...theory took no notice of the size of energy-radiating particles, handled them as mathematical points. By 1925 subatomic theory had reached such a stage that electrons (which Maxwell did not know existed) had to be considered as waves as well as corpuscles-hence as abstractions. Reduced to its simplest terms, Professor Bern's latest work elevates them to the status of physical entities. By introducing a symbol to represent the electron's radius, by investing the electron with the four Einsteinian dimensions of time & space (which are handled symmetrically as four independent variables), Professor Born has made...
Playwright Sturges, no O. Henry, no Conrad, has ordered his parts to diminish the suspense, not to heighten it. With a technic calling for smart treatment, he has used it on the simplest possible problems, the simplest types of characters: the sentimental bully, Spencer Tracy; busy, smug, clean-toothed Colleen Moore; wickedly beauteous Helen Vinson; the caddish son Clifford Jones. Like Producer Lasky, Colleen Moore was making a comeback too, hers after a four-year absence from films. She and Spencer Tracy, their emotions confined largely to work and sorrow, gave performances rated by Manhattan critics as "inspired." Before last...
