Carole Landis and Comic-Magician Russel Swann rehearse their guillotine act for the benefit of the Sixth War Loan Drive in New York. The 22-pound guillotine is one of Swann's famous props. To the innocent bystander the blade seems to be aiming at the head of the volunteer subject. Above, Swann adjusts Carole's head in the instrument. Below, Swann sends the blade of the guillotine down. Carole remains in one piece but a carrot that had been placed below her head is severed. Neat trick when it works.

Hands, "the right bower of the mind." Here are some hands that have brought fame or fortune or both to their owners. Left to right, above, the hands of Jascha Heifetz, delicate and sensitive as they draw sweet strains from the violin; the musical hands of Vladimir Horowitz, capable of interpreting on the piano the most delicate melody, and the mighty fist of Jim Braddock, which won him the world's heavyweight boxing championship. Below, the deft hands of Helen Wills Moody, which handled the tennis racquet with such skill that she became the champion woman tennis player of the world; the eloquent hands of Katherine Cornell, which speak her emotions on the stage, and the powerful gripping hands of Jimmy Foxx, Boston's home-run hitting slugger.
