Moscow correspondents, refused official information, picked up from terrified Christians reports that not only the Orthodox but also the Lutheran clergy are being "ruthlessly purged." Although the Government did not admit the arrest of the Metropolitans no one in Moscow doubted that it had taken place. Stalin's crusher was once more at work...
...find one interpretation of the cryptic words offered in the play of that name by Paul Hervey Fox and Benn W. Levy. These dramatists say that their farce was suggested by an idea in a novel of Thorne Smith's, but their debt would seem greater than they thereby admit. Their end is physic research not yet reduced to scientific terms; their media are sex and the bathroom. Through the resulting fantastic extravaganza Constance Cummings barges with considerable gusto.

As a mail-order gospel, propagated by advertising (in 400 newspapers, 50 magazines), Psychiana passed a milestone last week when Founder Robinson motored from Moscow to Portland, Ore., placed an order...
