Case History (by Louis S. Bardoly; produced by James Troup) was written by a doctor, produced with the backing of a dozen of his colleagues, and deals with a medical theme. It tells of a fervent Christian Scientist who, when her step-daughter becomes ill, employs a Christian Science healer and will not call in a doctor until it is too late...
Crudely written, Case History is chiefly interesting as the first play in the U. S. theatre to launch a heavy-artillery attack on the healing claims of Christian Science. In other fields the Church of Christ, Scientist has fought all adverse criticism tooth & nail, caused the revision of magazine articles, driven books off the shelves of public libraries. But the day after Case History opened, B. Palmer Lewis, of the Church's New York State Committee on Publication, commented: "This is just a very little play. ... I don't think I'll do anything about it." Possibly...
...sedate British journal Nature a reputable scientist last week made a fantastic proposal-to create artificial auroras or "northern lights" in the thin upper atmosphere by means of radio beams sent up from Earth. The proponent was Physics Professor V.A. Bailey of the University of Sydney, Australia...
...frequency* would produce a strong glow in the ionosphere (electrified radio mirror) 60 or 70 miles up. The artificial display would be the same in fundamental principle (emission of light by electrically excited atoms) as natural auroras, or as the glow caused in neon lights by electric currents. The scientist pointed out that existing super-power installations, such as Cincinnati's 500-kilowatt WLW (see p. 66) or the Moscow station of equal power, were strong enough to induce glow discharges in the upper air which would be of immense value for studying changing movements and density of ions...
This week, Clara Gabrilowitsch, who has already published an undistinguished biography of her illustrious father,* publishes an intimate biography of her famous husband. † Anecdotal, chatty, her book, naturally uncritical, tells more about Mr. & Mrs. Gabrilowitsch than it does about Gabrilowitsch the musician. An ardent Christian Scientist (although her father was noted for his early attacks on Christian Science), Clara Gabrilowitsch interprets the events of her husband's life piously, describes how she several times brought him through crises of body and mind by the power of faith...
