An "extra" shown in two parts at the movie theater, before and after a feature: part one gives the clues to six words in a crossword puzzle, part two gives the answers. In addition to the visual clues, which are clips of a party, an Asian country, a European city, table games, winter, and bullfighting, there are montages of street scenes and spinning objects. A simple cartoon character, Mr. Rebus, walks the audience through the clues, and title cards encourage the participation of the theatergoers.

La historia de una niña judía obligada a ocultar su identidad para poder asistir a la escuela de medicina en San Petersburgo. POLA NEGRI Se llamaba Apolonia (1897/1987) y a pesar de ese nombre se hizo un lugar entre las vampiresas más acreditadas del silente. Recuerdo que en mi familia se la llamaba "la de los ojos negros" y, en efecto, el rimmel corría sin mesura por su rostro. Durante el entierro de Valentino montó un número espectacular para la prensa, "desmayándose" varias veces y fingiendo ser la amante nunca correspondida de Rodolfo (algo que el hermano de éste y Mary Pickford se encargaron de desmentir). A comienzos del sonoro su estrella palideció y sus últimos años son un misterio similar al de la la Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) de "Sunset Boulevard". Nos dejó por un tumor cerebral a los noventa años y legó toda su fortuna a la St. Mary's University. (Eddie Constanti)
