This was heresy to practical, pro-Munich Paul Faure. Colorless, competent, cautious, he has been political organizer of the party as Blum has been its intellectual head. Heir of the pre-War traditions of French Socialism, he plumped for peace above all, insisted that "the day the Fascist nations believe themselves encircled they will certainly go to war." Support for rearmament came hard for him because he made a reputation exposing armament makers, earned the enmity of powerful Armorer Charles Schneider. He was thus squarely opposed to his friend Léon Blum when their party's annual Congress...
...economist, politician, agitator; Trotsky, an editor, strategist, orator; Radek, a journalist; Chicherin, son of an aristocratic family; Kamanev, a student of law; Rykov, Lenin's secretary; Zinoviev, a master of intrigue, a practical politician, "Lenin's greatest mistake"; Stalin, then 38, an editor; Bukharin, a dry, colorless theoretician; Lunacharsky, a dramatist; Dzerzhinsky, a politician-no group seemed so ill-equipped for the tasks before it as Russia's new leaders.

...Bach process, the steel is first "pickled" (cleaned with acid), then coated with colorless chemicals (formula undisclosed) and heated. The coated steel turns black, gold, bronze, purple, blue, red or green, and the color becomes an integral part of the surface. The treatment increases the corrosion resistance of 6% chrome steel (16¾? per Ib.) almost to that of high-grade chrome-nickel stainless steel (34? per lb.). Said Iron Age: "The increase in corrosion resistance, in part verified by at least several disinterested laboratories, is astonishing." Last week Mr. Bach declared that use of cheap steel, thus colored...
...character of the dancing school atmosphere, and the well-chosen background music. Janine Charrat, as the child ballerina, has been carefully directed with a view to psychological complications by Jean Benoit-Levy, and as a result her performance in more convincing than that of her adult co-stars. Particularly colorless is Yvette Chauvire, for whose love the child arranges the crippling of Mia Slovenska in the midst of her performance of "The Dying Swan." As entertainment, the film has novelty, but lacks vigor and humor; as a work of abstract art, there is little to be desired...
