...Huck Finn (Junior Durkin) who has been edged almost out of the story because a separate picture about him is going to be made soon. Best technical shot: speech used as a sound-accompaniment of action in the schoolroom scene, where the teacher keeps on talking while the camera follows more interesting things...
...seasick, the barometer went down. It looked as if there might be trouble. Captain Irving Johnson took some notes of that wild homeward journey of the little boat, a 19-day trip through seven fearful storms that amounted practically to one continuous storm. He had even held a camera steady enough to photograph the deck after a sea broke over the bow. Pinnacle and compass were washed overboard. Water poured in, set the food afloat in the galley. Five times a tilt of a wave threw the green-faced cook onto the hot stove. The men slept in their oilskins...
...play which the late Frank Bacon helped to write and which he played 1,291 times on Broadway is now a vehicle for some adroit homespun fooling by Will Rogers. It is not so good as a picture as it was on the stage because the camera too often follows wandering sequences of the plot, but it is handsomely arranged and fairly funny.

Squat, hairy-chested, his gold teeth gleaming in his dwarfish face, Paulino in his perpetual crouch, with his elbows swinging, resembled some kind of beetle that Camera, punching almost vertically...
...audience that the invention is known as the "scrambled speech" method of telephony recently developed by the clever, hardworking scientists of Bell Telephone Laboratories. The invention consists of two complicated pieces of apparatus. One, located at the transmitting end, inverts ordinary speech in much the same way that a camera lens sets the image of an object on its head. Low tones become high squeaks, high pitches turn into low grunts. Tones are changed in frequency, resulting in a language which no eaves- dropper could understand. At the receiving end of the radio telephone a translating apparatus changes the inverted...
