...politicking for Federal employes). The most sincere New Dealer of the lot, Maury Maverick, has got himself into political trouble in Texas by espousing free speech for Communists and letting the home folks think he has "gone national." This week Mr. Maverick got into his worst trouble yet. Along with a local official and a former business agent of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, he was indicted by a Bexar County grand jury charged with using union contributions to pay poll taxes for some of his Labor voters...
...hospitals were abruptly closed. German theatres suddenly went dark. Shops owned by Germans were hastily shut, while their owners hurried to liquidate what they could. Some Balts simply packed their bags, locked up their houses and went to the steamers. In some places they were allowed to take along their personal effects and $22.50, the final liquidation of their property, which must amount to many millions of dollars, being left to the Commission.

Into action went French artillery -slim 75s, big-mouthed 155s, even a few long-snouted railroad guns of big calibre, firing across the line for the first time since the war began...
...formula for putting a great man of music on the screen. The solution: putting him on the screen. Heifetz and more Heifetz, superbly recorded, is the main element of this film; all others are kept subordinate. And yet, the theme of a children's music school struggling to get along, though it sounds impossible, provides a moderately interesting plot. It also affords the chance to show off some truly remarkable child musicians and singers, of a breed quite distinct from Shirley Temple. A lad with a strikingly handsome face, Gene Reynolds, turns in one of the best juvenile performances...
