...stranger to the U. S. stage, Edna Best was last seen in this country in Melo. Actor Marshall, her husband, was the wise and witty scientist, last year, in Philip Barry's Tomorrow & Tomorrow. Great Britain need not envy the U. S. its Lunts so long as the ingratiating Marshalls carry on. Third of There's Always Juliet's cast of four is May Whitty, a Dame of the British Empire. Impersonating a sort of female super-butler, she has found an infinite and amazing number of ways of saying her chief line which is "Yes, Miss...
Because Professor Allison's magneto-optical apparatus is his own contrivance, many a scientist doubted his discoveries. A few used similar machines, notably Professor Joseph Llewellyn McGhee of Emory University, Atlanta. Light from an electric spark is polarized by a Nicol prism, then sent through a cell containing carbon disulfide, a second cell containing a water solution of any substance to be tested; lastly through a second analyzing Nicol prism. Each of the two cells is surrounded by a coil of electric wire which becomes an electromagnet. The coils are so wound that the swings of the magnets...

You may see the raised suture at the wrists, where the mismatched hands are grafted to the arms...
...from Swift, a page from Samuel Butler, a page or two from Jules Verne, Herbert George Wells and Anatole France: put them all together and they spell HUXLEY. Author Huxley points out that his brave new world is strikingly similar to a world simultaneously envisioned by a slightly soberer scientist, Bertrand Russell. Delighted when critics discovered that he was a Thinker, he is still unwilling to give up tomfoolery. In Brave New World he mixes it so well with sober, cynical conclusions that it is hard to tell where one stops and the other begins...
