...preparing to abdicate, wraps up his crown. Happiness Ahead (Warner). When Warner Brothers announced last summer that they had discovered an ingenue who would be "one of the five biggest stars of the screen within a year," it was surprising to learn that their discovery was Josephine Hutchinson. A thin, pretty girl with red dish hair, sherry-colored eyes and a dimpled chin, Josephine Hutchinson had been exposed to the full view of Hollywood scouts for upwards of eight years as leading lady of Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre on Manhattan's 14th Street...
...mature that gestures with his tongue will soon seem idiotic, makes Bill Peck a lovable urchin, sure to appeal to all chronic admirers of juvenile pictures.

A brat whose thin, disdainful, pasty face has made him villain in so many films that he has been called the Boris Karloff of his generation, he acts with his customary blood curdling restraint.

Only the tail end of the Jeans presidential discourse was concerned with science in industry. His topic was "The New World-Picture of Modern Physics"?a picture he has displayed to some 300,000 readers in thin, lucid books. Sir James again led his hearers over the trail from the comfortable Victorian universe of jelly-like ethers, billiard-ball particles, gears and levers to the disconcerting, fantastic universe built by Rutherford, Planck. Bohr, Einstein. Heisenberg. Schrodinger, Dirac and others where the electron dances beyond space and time in a field of mathematical formulae...
