...phase of development, Mr. Anderson has brought off successfully, brilliantly. Miniatures have been juxtaposed with full-sized sets in technicolor, as when Whiteman carries his whole band onto the stage in a satchel. Later the normal-size orchestra plays on top of a monster piano. There are sets that spring, completed, out of the floor, in time to notes of music. There are deep romantic backgrounds of Maxfield Parrish blue, ballets in the warmest, though slightly blurred, pastel tints yet achieved in technicolor. There are angled and overhead shots and hundreds of smart camera tricks. The whole is a musical...
...certainly the oldest practitioner, certainly the Medical Centre's cornerstone layer, Merritt Henry Eddy, 97, of Middlebury, Vt.

The motor failed first, then the ponies; Scott went on with four men, on foot; he reached the Pole on Jan. 18. It was a long trip back (1,766 miles), weather conditions were much worse than anticipated, rations insufficient. First Seaman Evans, strongest man of the party, dropped in his tracks, died. Then Lieutenant Oates began to weaken. One night, after they had made camp, Oates went out of the tent, declared he might be gone some time, never came back...
