...Dream Too Much (RKO) is an operatic formula picture, cut to fit the coloratura voice, the small, neat form, the pretty face and the sharp French accent of Lily Pons. The operatic basis for its plot is the one which enables Miss Pons to carol Caro Nome from Rigoletto to her provincial music teacher, to make a big splash in Paris, to exhibit her navel in Hindu undress as she negotiates the spectacular Bell Song from Lakmé.

Last week the King's police swooped down on 20,000 Rumanian peasant Nazis at Kishineff looking for their paymaster. Several men seized at the Nazi rally proved to be Germans. Searched to the skin, one turned out to be a walking bundle of banknotes. When he was identified as Herr Friedrich Weber, correspondent in Rumania of Realmleader Hitler's personal newsorgan, Volkischer Beobachter ("People's Observer"), the King's police clapped...
