...before the British Empire Exposition opened (TIME, Aug. 4, 1924) and colossally failed.? By contrast the awkwardly named Exposition des Arts Decor atijs at Paris in 1925 was almost a secret at the time, yet it touched off the bombshell of Modernistic Art, gave furniture and architecture a whirl that is dizzying people yet. So atrocious is French publicity that a broadside recently fired in English by the Ministry of Colonies begins with this sentence...
...hydrogen atom (simplest) has one proton at its nucleus. Helium (next simplest) has four nuclear protons. But two are herded into inaction by two nuclear electrons. This leaves two positive sports on the helium nucleus. They in turn are kept from rampage by two more orbital electrons which whirl about the nucleus at a comparatively vast distance. The atomic structures of elements heavier than helium are like helium's-a nuclear core of protons held together and neutralized by fewer electrons and the difference between protons and nuclear electrons made up by an equal number of electrons...

Famed for his high stiff collars, his stuttering German comedy dialect, he had been on the stage for 62 years, in Friendly Enemies, The Man Who Stood Still (long run smash hits), The Second Fiddle, The Whirl of New York, Sins of the Children (cinema...

When they meet again she has become a drug addict and he is in the act of trading his fraternity ring for a bottle of booze. In a whirl of misty sentiment they work out each other's salvation. In addition to other faults there is far too much talk in the picture and both principals are ludicrously miscast. These are the most serious roles Farrell & Gaynor have ever tried. The results should prove to anyone's satisfaction...
