...TIME, Sept. 1). RKO has shrewdly chosen a story about railroading which gives the cameramen a chance to show the versatility of the new film by photographing locomotives from many angles. The big film seems exactly like other wide films; its mechanical grandeur, the magnified screen and the magnified size of everything thereon, are exciting and worthwhile, but not revolutionary. The story is the sort in which the district superintendent rescues an engineer from a drunken stupor by reminding him that lives depend on running the trains properly. It is a love-triangle, with Louis Wolheim as the heroic...

...Commenting in the growing usefulness of mathematics, he referred particularly to its relation to long-distance communication. "In the field of long-distance telephony," he said, "mathematics has led the way to inventions which have greatly increased the distance the voice can be carried over a wire of given size. If it were not for mathematics you could not send a long-distance message today. The development of the radio itself has been directly dependent upon mathematical-physical researches of the most advanced sort...
