Another notion of Mark Twain's was that monarchies would do better if kings saw how their subjects lived. In medieval London's alleys, Edward fares not much better than his counterpart in the palace until he encounters a young soldier of fortune named Miles Hendon (Errol Flynn). Hendon feeds him, humors his apparently preposterous notion that he is the King of England, sets out, when the boy is kidnapped, to rescue him from John Canty's gang of thieves. When the rescue entails fighting off the palace guards, sent to kill the young King before...
...geisha girl, pert Daughter Kimiko Yamamoto goes to visit Shunsaku, get his consent to her marriage. Up to this point, the plot of Kimiko somewhat resembles that of Universal's Three Smart Girls (TIME, Dec. 21). The end of the picture not only differs from its U.

According to the Reich, this paper is not debt until it becomes due, a contention which would have a counterpart in the U. S. if WPA workers were paid in baby Government Bonds which were excluded from the national debt until they matured. SEC pointed out that by the middle of 1935 this odd accounting conception had swollen the total Reich debt by at least $2,000,000,000 above...
