Pathfinders An advertisement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company CuristopHeR CoLumBus discovered America, thus adding a new world to the old. Alexander Graham Bell discovered the telephone, giving the nations of the earth a new means of communication. Each ven- tured into the unknown and blazed the way for those who came after him. The creating of a nation- wide telephone service, like the developing of a new world, opened new fields for the pathfinder and the pio- neer. The telephone, as the modern American knows it, has been made possi- ble by the doing of a multitude of things in the realms of research, engineering and business administration.

All that I can discern in the exhibit is a slow-going senti- mental manuscript with a surprise twist at the finish that is as startling and unforeseen as breakfast. Nor can I work up any enthusiasm over the acting. Miss Fay Bainter, who plays the lead, though she is dexter- ous in certain departments, is an actress who always leaves me in a state of complete indifference, and George Marion, what with his endless grimacing, never fails to remind me of an unremitting movie close-up.
