...attempt to control their laughter. Dignified gentlemen sat with handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths and tears of mirth streaming down their cheeks. But Mrs. Jenkins went bravely on. For a Spanish group she wore a mantilla, carried a big feather fan, undertook a few little dancing steps to convey more spirit. While she was getting her breath, the Pascarella chamber group played Dvorak's Quintet and cameramen photographed the happy laughing faces in the audience...

The stark, one-sentence radio announcement was seemingly intended to convey to Austria that a Nazi Putsch headed by "King Anton" had succeeded. When a radio actor found a revolver and started shooting, a cool Nazi hurled a hand grenade, blew him to blazes. Meanwhile back at the Ballhaus ten pistol-brandishing Nazis had burst down the last white door...
