Still uncut and unedited last week was what Nazi authorities long ago announced as the exclusive, official film of the Olympic Games, produced under the direction of beauteous Leni Riefenstahl, good friend of the Führer. Over 2,000,000 ft. of film were exposed by German cameramen, no foreign cameras being permitted. When cut and assembled, this footage is to make one full-length German film of Nazi triumphs at the games, and 20 separate short films, with dialog in the languages of countries that sent teams to Berlin. Berlin film men said last week that...
Seventy-four years ago Frederik's beauteous great-aunt Alexandra traveled from Copenhagen to London to marry robustious Edward of Wales, who became King Edward VII, who begat George V, who begat Edward VIII, who abdicated in favor of George VI (Danish Frederik's second cousin), whose Coronation was at once the most splendid and the most pumped-up party that Europe has seen this century.

Engagement Broken. Between Melvin Horace Purvis Jr., 34, famed onetime G-Man who now practices law in San Francisco; and beauteous Janice ("Toots") Jarratt, cinemactress, onetime Lucky Strike model, "Sweetheart of the Texas Centennial"; in San Antonio, Tex., three days before the wedding date.

When he approached a beauteous socialite and blurted a red-faced request that she sit for him, she consented, and thereafter Healy had smooth if not spectacular sailing during his long career. A facile workman, he did probably 1,000 portraits. He satisfied his customers with good likenesses-sometimes vigorous, sometimes podgy, never subtle. He enjoyed his work, left a batch of gossipy memoranda. Of Lincoln he wrote: "During one of the sittings, as he was glancing at his letters, he burst into...
...only was divorced but actually abdicated as Crown Prince prior to his triumphal restoration as King (TIME, June 16, 1930). This behavior by King Carol led his brother Prince Nicholas to suppose he would find His Majesty sympathetic when Nicholas too made a morganatic marriage, running off with a beauteous divorcee, Mme Jana Lucia Deletj, who today is Rumania's Mrs. Simpson No. 2. Instead of proving sympathetic, scapegrace King Carol flew into towering rages about scapegrace Prince Nicholas, and soon the Rumanian Supreme Court decided that the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Nicholas is "non-existent...
