...Pepe Le Moko," from which United Artists made "Algiers" in 1938, is in most ways a better picture than its carbon copy. United Artists knew a good thing when they saw it, and they took large chunks--still recognizable shots, and in some cases apparently the very same sets--of the French original as a backdrop for Boyer, Lamarr, Sigrid Gurie, and Gene Lockbart...
...same part. Charles Boyer tried to drive Ingrid mad in "Gaslight" to gain her wealth. Similarly accented Paul Lukas tries to pull the same stunt in "Experiment Perilous," but with no apparent motive. Almost as a trick ending, it develops that a page has been substituted in this carbon copy: Lukas is mentally unsound, which doesn't really change much...
...Huggins' photograph confirmed the chemists' theoretical picture. In his portrait, the twelve dark spots are the carbon atoms (the hydrogen atoms do not show because they are too light in mass to be detected by this method...
...manifesto was also a slap at Argentina, for Morínigo and the soldier politicians around him were a smudged carbon copy of Argentina's military Government. Unidad National, Argentine underground newspaper, claimed that Vice President Juan Domingo Perón had made a secret agreement with Paraguay's militarists, looking toward a "total customs union" with Argentina. The manifesto was a hint that the Paraguayan people might have something to say about that. The move would reduce Paraguay to an Argentine dependency, tend to bolster her unpopular military government...
Plastic Wedding. The silicones are a new type of plastic-an unusual wedding of organic and inorganic chemistry. Organic plastics have poor resistance to heat and cold; at extreme temperatures they become brittle or soft. This fault is overcome in the silicones by replacing the carbon atoms in organic compounds with a much tougher combination of silicon (basic ingredient of sand) and oxygen. The result is a material combining the flexibility of plastics with great resistance to heat, water and air. Some silicones can withstand temperatures from 60 below zero Fahrenheit to 575 above...
