Science: Relativity Commotion

A phenomenal commotion occurred in Manhattan last week. The Amateur Astronomers Association prepared to show a five-reel motion picture graphically explaining the simpler features of the Einstein relativity theory, at the American Museum of Natural History. The museum’s auditorium has 1,400 seats. Four thousand people tried to attend. In their crowding eagerness they jostled each other, bustled guards, pushed down an iron gate, shoved a heavy door off its hinges.
