Dangerous Curves (Paramount). It would not be fair to apply the term stale to this story about a circus performer who loses his skill when his female partner breaks up the team. Long ago it passed from being simply stale to an honorable status as one of the great stencils of picturemaking. Long research has proved that there are two ways in which the shaken fellow can be redeemed: 1) by the return of his original partner; 2) by another girl in the company who has loved him all the time but whose sacrifices have never been appreciated until...
...York City exercised ingenuity last week in diphtheria prevention work. At the suggestion of its Diphtheria Prevention Commission (Morgan Partner Thomas William Lament, president), Health Commissioner Shirley W. Wynne borrowed a half-dozen trucks from the street cleaning department, cleaned them, placarded them with warnings against diphtheria, and advice to use toxin-antitoxins. Aboard each car he loaded a doctor, two nurses and a refrigerator full of toxin-antitoxin. Then these "healthmobiles" rolled forth among the city's millions like itinerant waffle carts. Spectacular, convenient, they "sold" the idea of preparing in July for winter's diphtheria, administered...
...publicity medium by people with money enough to "pioneer" it. Last spring Publisher Joseph Medill Patterson of the Chicago Tribune; New York Daily News and nickel-weekly Liberty, rode around the Caribbean in a Sikorsky christened Liberty for benefit of press.* Last week Mr. Patterson's cousin-partner, Robert Rutherford McCormick, sent another Sikorsky from Chicago northeastward. This plane was supposed to fly a Great Circle course to Berlin for the glory of the Chicago Tribune ("world's greatest newspaper"), whose aviation editor, 200-lb. Robert Wood, went aboard as a passenger. The McCormick ship was named, oddly...
...Business. Leaving school two months after his sixteenth birthday in 1855, he soon became office-boy in a warehouse on a day since reverenced by the Rockefeller clan. Never the mythical, poverty-stricken Rockefeller boy, he became at 17 a trustee of the Erie Street Baptist. He was junior partner and bookkeeper of the young but prosperous firm of Hewitt and Tuttle. Ecstatically, auto-suggestively, he one day told someone: "I am bound to be rich! Bound to be rich! BOUND to be rich...
Skipper Hammond did not have his tactful partner aboard last week, but no similar emergency arose as the Nina won another great race, 475 miles from New London, Conn., to Gibson Island, Md. Twoscore other yachts sailed out of New London in a dripping fog the day after the Harvard-Yale crew race. During that thick night the Teragram missed the stern of Malabar VIII by a scant six feet. Then came clear weather, smooth sailing. Sachem and Nina, the first two yachts around Montauk Point, got the best wind after the turn. The Nina came in seven hours behind...
