...this picture (Wynne Gibson) does so while intoxicated, mistaking a pair of glass doors which open on an airshaft for those which lead to the room where her inebriated guests are querulously listening to the barkings of a rolltop radio. The death of the villainess removes the last element of gaiety from the picture, permits Phillips Holmes, as a mustachioed playboy, and Miriam Hopkins, as a nice girl from the West, to obtain parental consent for matrimony. The involved train of events in Two Kinds of Women?adapted from Robert E. Sherwood's play This is New York?makes...
Heat & Sex, The outer case of an egg is its female element, the stuffing its male element, with temperature determining the predominance of either, contended Dr. Emil Witschi of the University of Iowa. To support his argument he showed pictures of incubating frog eggs. Those which were maintained at 59° F. grew thick shells, became female polliwogs. Those maintained at 82° F. developed big insides, turned into male tadpoles...
...know that Heather will presently get into the U. S., eventually nod her head when Mr. Farrell asks her a certain question. A mediocre score by George Gershwin and the Swedish comicalities of El Brendel are adjuncts of Delicious.

They could not comment on the hazards for civilians wives, but Admiral Stirling warned: "Honolulu may expect cases of assault upon women unless the better element gets to work to stamp it out." Much to the relief of the city's business and resort leaders, he officially reported to Washington that there had been "disturbances" but "no rioting," that, in the Paradise of the Pacific, the "situation is under control...
...Radium ("element") is kept two ways: powdered, in tubes of platinum or gold, about an inch long, which are kept in thick lead boxes; or in a solution, in bottles encased in lead. Because radium is continually breaking down, its emanations must be pumped out of the bottles every 24 hours. The gas thus pumped off is sealed in containers, used in radiotherapy for treatment of cancer. But Dr. Kaplan believes best results are obtained from pack treatment, that the best pack is made from radium element. The minimum quantity for a proper pack treatment is five grams...
