Jimmy Northmore called his apparatus "The Magic Eye." First shots published by the Times were of Baseballer Jimmy Foxx striking out. Northmore snapped a series of Golfer Al Watrous getting out of a sand trap, the prints plainly showing the clubhead traveling ahead of the ball after the impact.

Fortunately it is nothing more serious than a horror story hoisted aloft and sustained there by familiar mechanisms: a diabolical invention, a lovely cabaret singer used as the dupe of a crew of villains, trap doors, a comedy reporter, murder, young love and a mysterious gang chief photographed from behind, who turns out to be the man you least suspect. Before long the roguish tendencies of the executives of Transcontinental Airways have been stimulated to such a pitch by the refusal of Ralph Bellamy to sell...
