GLEANINGS
:AND.
SCREENINGS
By ANDREW R. KELLEY

It seems that out Connecticut
Avenue way-weu, specifically
at the Wardman Park Hotel
another Ziegfeld opus is being
ground out page by page from
the william Anthony Mcguire
Typewriter.
Mr.. Mcguire has been in our
midst for about a week, seeking
the quiet seclusion Of a Wash
ington suite while he trans
forms the exotic East Is West"
into what is expected to be the
glamorous Ziegfeld Chinese
spectacle, Ming Toy"
On Sunday night Mr.. Mcguire
ventured downtown for q bit
Of footlight diversion and wound
up watching the antics of the
Marx brothers at Polls Theater.
In the lobby he encountered
Clifford Brooke who has the
distinction Of having staged
''East Is West" both in Amer
ica and in London. Out Of the
iInpromptu swapping of ideas
may come a contract for Mr..
Brooke to stage the dialogue
scenes in Ming Toy" At least
Mr.. Mcguire thinks it is a
swell idea and will try to
induce Mr.. ziegfeld to accept
his view. He expects to have
the script of Ming Toy" COM
pleted within a fortnight.
Washington will have a
chance to see FRITZ Scheff in
her million dollar comeback.

Shades Of Tom
Tom Mix is gone but his West
ern presence still hovers on the
Fox lot. FOR a while, after his
departure from the fold the
Fox outfit abandoned Western
pictures. They they produced
"Old Arizona" a western OF
sorts but blessedly different. 1t
was a box office lulu. That
started the high mogulS to cogi-
tating. Ergo, now they have q
brand-new idea. They're going
to make Westerns! Shades OF
Tom Mix. There is some talk
of lining up q slew OF Zane
Grey yarns and punching them
into out.1ouds.

may make some more such. It
depends. In Westerns like "Old
Arizona" he'd be swell. In West
erns that unreel the same old
story-send for the miracle man.
But keep q sharp lookout. Ma
ture and horses will still be

all, one can't go on forever sac
riftcing an evening to backstage

PLEASANT, SAFE
ANESTHETiC is
new DISCOVERY
Bad Reactions Occasionally
Following Cocaine Are
Avoided.

BIZ Eefence SerUics
ROCHESTER, MINI, Sept. pa
new anesthetic. which puts patients
to sleep so pleasantly and easily
that they ask for more, has been
reported by Dr. j. S. Lundy Of the
Mayo clinic here and DR.. r. M.
Isenberger, professor Of pharma-
coloby of the University of Kansas.
Fewer unpleasant after-effects and
far less danger than many Of the
local anesthetics are claimed for this
new aid to surgery, which has the
impressive name Of iso-amylethyl
barbituric acid.
The work grew out Of the old
problem Of how to Offset the bad
effects of some local anesthetics.
Many investigators have sought
means Of avoiding the occasional
cases Of poisoning by cocaine. Ac-
cordingly, procaine, a synthetic prod
uct, was developed as substitute
for cocaine.
Bad Reaction Followed
However, bad reactions OCCASION
ally follow use of procaine. Drs.
Isenberger and Lundy, following
along the line Of some previous
workers, found certain substitution
products Of barbituric acid gave pro-
lection against commissions from
procaine. They reported their work
with iso-amylethyl barbituric acid
about a year ago.
In the course of a years further
work, Dr.. Lundy has used iso-
amylethyl barbituric acid, expert
mentally, and for the benefit Of
patients, more than a thousand
times. He has given it by mouth
before administering local anesthesia
and the apprehension from which
some patients suffer before an OPP
Grafton has been lessened in this
way. Moreover, commissions, that
occasionally come on from the use
Of procaine, have not appeared in
any cases in which iso-amylethyl
barbituric acid has been used.
Adds to Comfort
Also, following the work OF Ger
fas, Lundy has used this product, by
injection into a vein, to produce all
or part of the general anesthesia in
273 major operations. Surgeons who
have employed it in this way have
found that patients wish to have it
again if, for any re 7on, they need
to have another operation.
1t quiets patients before operation
and adds to their comfort after OPP
Grafton by producing a semi-con-
scious state for some hours after
they have returned to bed. Nausea
and vomiting are greatly lessened or
entirely eliminated.
More work must be done on this
subject before the product will, or
should be used as commonly as NOR
phine. ether and nitrous oxide now
are used in general anesthesia.
