Increasingly pot-bellied King Carol of Rumania was last week back in Bucharest, his capital, after an eventful visit to Prague where he had discussed future policy towards Russia with Czechoslovakia's pro-French President Eduard Benes. To Prague also went Carol's 15-year-old son, rolypoly Crown Prince Mihai, for King Carol, suspecting that his former wife Princess Helen might return to Rumania in his absence and make trouble, was not taking the risk of leaving Mihai behind. So strongly did he feel about what he considered to be Princess Helen's capacity for mischief...

It would surprise no Rumanian if King Carol should break off with Joseph Stalin the diplomatic relations established between Russia and Rumania by M. Titulescu. With Nazi influence mounting at Bucharest the Jewish mistress of the King, red-haired Magda Lupescu, found her position last week greatly altered for the worse. His Majesty still looks...
...spirit of Campbell Soup's "Hol-lywood Hotel." Beside this weekly program, the soup-makers present an annual Yuletide broadcast in which Actor Lionel Barrymore (fora reputed $1,250) wheezes, growls, grunts and snuffles his way through the part of Scrooge in a dramatization of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Last week's "Hollywood Hotel" offered an adaption of Dadsworth with Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton. Next week: Norma Shearer as Juliet, to a radio Romeo as yet unchosen...
