Chesty Flash v. Nitrogen-Destroying Lamp

TIME March 28, 1936

Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars

A stratospherical chapter of the 15-piece adventures of the fearless Flash, this is a Grade A cinemedition of the famed King Features strip. Chesty Flash works desperately to save humanity from destruction by a nitrogen-destroying lamp erected on Mars. Since the silent-film days the cinema has kept fairly close to earth. To figure out how men in other worlds might look was a mild exercise in ingenuity. But how such out-planeters might talk, especially in conversation with men from Hollywood, has lately presented a weighty problem in linguistics. Flash Gordon is fortunate enough to find some English-speaking Martians, but with true comic-strip vigor, he usually manages to make actions speak louder than words.
