Last week in the New York Times literary supplement he pondered U. S. education, decided it was "chaos," recommended a "clue which . . . may afford a certain amount of help.

An arrange ment was made whereby Mr. Laemmle's Universal Pictures would supplement Mr. Cummins' bits with connectives and shots of Mr. Darrow. No scientist, and very, very serious about the proposed picture, Lawyer Darrow called in Smith College's goateed Professor Howard Madison Parshley and they spent three hardworking months preparing explanatory dialog. Last week the finished film was ready for review...
