...washroom and a coatrack, has no apparent connection with the story by Katherine Brush from which it is supposed to be taken. To make it long enough for a feature, Director Robert Florey photographed and recorded an audience ceaselessly clapping hands. Worst sound: the henlike cackling of women in the lavabo. The Gamblers (Warner). This picture is a ponderous leer at Wall Street corruption. It has that annoying air of knowingness peculiar to bad parlor realism. In extraordinarily ornate offices, ballrooms, conservatories, H. B. Warner, Lois Wilson and Jason Robards argue and glare and pull each other around. The triangle...

...Ithaca, N. Y., 253 men and 350 women scanned twelve photographs given them by Dr. Richard S. Uhrbrock, assistant professor of Rural Education, lecturer in Cornell University's course on Hotel Administration. The pictures were faces of twelve men who had taken the Thorndike intelligence test. Six had scored high, six had scored low. The 603 scanners carefully examined each face, guessed at cranial capacities, studied brightness of eye, firmness of mouth, tried to separate the stupid from the brilliant. Two photographs they observed in particular. From one smirked a dull, stupid face with drooping lips and averted, timid...
