...national policy of Japan is clearly revealed in the divine message that the Sun Goddess gave her grandson, the first Emperor, on his advent in Japan: Japan is ruled by an unbroken line of emperors and the prosperity of the imperial line is coeval with heaven and earth...
Last month Publisher Marks gave the genial oldster who is featured on such nostalgic occasions as the advent of Repeal a song title, told him to write a waltz to it. Metz went home, scratched out a tune on his violin.

"Clive of India" is a good film in its spectacular way, though it can hardly be said to be accurate history. The romantic story of the young clerk's rise from a desk to the domination of all India with its untold millions, has been dressed up in splendid clothes and given the proper Kiplingesque tone of magnificent imperialism. For cinematic purposes Miss Loretta Young has been given the vastly expanded role...
