...diligently to plumb Night Vision's mysteries. His searching hand paused before the shelf and drew down "The Science of General Psychology," by Wheeler, a good and solid book, of some six-hundred pages, fitted with two indices, charmingly adapted to the pose of earnest endeavor. But somehow, as his finger ran down the index, it wavered, passed "Vision, 379-398," and paused only be fore "Vitreous Humor, 382." Vitreous Humor turned out not at all funny, but Helen herself was never more seductive than the index to Wheeler's "Science of Psychology." The subtle poison permeated the Vagabond...
Somewhere between the novel and the picture, the character of Riviere became a little blurred. Barrymore plays it coolly and shrewdly but somehow never quite pulls the picture into perfect focus. Partly because the acting and camera work are splendid and partly because it is a sincere effort to investigate an engrossing subject, Night Flight remains an exciting and intelligent production. Robert Montgomery, Lionel Barrymore, Myrna Loy, William Gargan, have minor roles. Good shot: Jules Fabian's plane breaking through the clouds into moonlight...
Just before Mr. Cook has to escape his political enemies by a wild ride atop two white horses galloping thunderously on a treadmill, the perennial Cook machine is somehow interpolated into the mad proceedings. This year the machine is billed as "The Fuller Construction Company's Recording Orchestra." Wearing the bemedaled and lengthy bandmaster's coat which was seen in Fine & Dandy, Comedian Cook picks up his fiddle & bow. The bow has an inflated bladder tied to one end. Mr. Cook plays a few bars, then slaps an attendant across the back of the neck with the bladder...

It looked as though she would get them when as the boats rounded the last mark, she was far out in front and Lorna Whittelsey was third, a good quarter-mile behind Edgartown. By making up that quarter-mile- largely because the Edgartown had somehow picked up a piece of driftwood with her keel-Lorna Whittelsey kept her chance alive but it was a chance as faint as the breeze that had given it to her. In the sixth race, Ruth Sears would have had to miss the one point a boat gets for finishing...
...murdered on their doorsteps like Editor Andre of El Dia, or shot from passing automobiles, or rushed without warning to Principe Fortress and tortured to death, or kidnapped by the Porra and lynched. But Gerardo Machado knows what is in store for him. Always hoping to escape, somewhere, somehow, he last week begged and obtained permission to seek refuge in Canada. To confuse those Cuban avengers who will not rest, two means of escape were arranged. A seaplane was chartered, and also accommodations were engaged on the S. S. Lady Rodney for Bermuda and Halifax. On the latter he slipped...
