ONCE UPON OCT. Ia


It is nothing short of astounding
how many astronomical, optical and
other discoveries in which the eyes
would seem indispensable, we owe to
blind men!
Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau,
who was born in Brussels, Oct. IA, 1901
is an example When he was %, he
repeatedly gazed steadily at the glar-
ing midday sun for minute, to study
the after-effect. The after-affect was
partial and finally total blindness.
But this blow did not end the work
that made him one of the world s
great pioneers in optical science. He
was blind when he devised one of the
early forms Of motion pictures! He
carried out invaluable Investigations
in molecular forces through novel ex-
periments he saw" only through eyes
of his wife, son and son-in-law.
To Plateau the world also owes the
"stroboscopic" method of studying the
motion of a vibrating body. (The vib-

"GREEN LIGHT" REVIEWS
LOCAL STAND AT met"

REEN LIGHT" which so
many persons saw at the
Earle without exhausting
its powers Of attraction,
moved into the Metropolitan yester-
day for another local week.
The film, based upon Lloyd Doug
las novel Of the same name, Is en-
dowed with considerable entertainment
merit, even though it moves on the
sentimental side. It is of the same
genesis as Magnificent Obsession,"
which had such an excess of box
Office magic that Douglas art is as
sured of enduring Hollywood popu-
larity.
As was its predecessor, Green
Light" offers its audiences a quiet
philosophy dedicated to the propo-
sition that the individual is relatively
unimportant, that it is the species
which counts Enrol Flynn plays the
part of thes brilliant young surgeon
who rises to the heights through the
intense practice of self-sacriflce. One
of his rewards is Anita Louise, who be-
comes his wife, after having given
performance considerably inferior to
that of Margaret Lindsay, the woman
who loses Mr.. Flynn.
Sir Cedric Hardwick is effectively
cast as the churchman who voices the
philosophy by which the other char
acters are guided through the play.
Warner Bros, who made the pic
ture, have stuck faithfully to the text
of Douglas novel, which did not be-
come a best seller for nothing.
The usual short subjects supplement
what is bound to be a popular feature
