...conference in Budapest, symbolic of the other Fascist moves last week, went Premier Mussolini's son-in-law, Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano; keen, Jesuit-trained Chancellor Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria; and, as host, Hungarian Foreign Minister Kalman de Kanya. Unfortunately for them, Austria and Hungary are no longer so important to Italy as they seemed when they were the only sizable satellites II Duce could get to revolve around Rome. In recent months Yugoslavia has come under strong Italian influence (TiME, Dec. 20 et ante) and Germany, the planet at the other end of the self...
...Teddy Wilson's rippling piano. But the event of the evening was the "jam session," effacingly noted as "no doubt the greatest contradiction a swing program could offer," but in effect a blaring success. Amiable Mr. Goodman seated himself in his reed section, his professional spectacles gleaming, and Count Basic began thumping a blues on the piano. For two or three choruses it looked as though the boys were not going to get off. Then the afflatus descended, Goodman took a chorus, Trumpeter Harry James cut one and the whole group swung out. The audience of 3,000, infected...

Nevertheless, the treatment is light and humorous, and Mischa Aue as a phoney count provides many a ridiculous sequence...
...years ago Germany's Count Hermann Keyserling made a triumphal tour of the U. S., buoyed up by his best-selling Travel Diary of a Philosopher, fees reaching as high as $1,000 a lecture, and praise such as Glenn Frank's: "Keyserling may turn out to be a John the Baptist of a new Western civilization." On that trip hostesses received printed instructions on how to entertain the worldly prophet: 1) rooms should be cool; 2) a supper should be served after each lecture; 3) champagne should be provided; 4) oysters should be served, but no vegetables...
Midway through the second frame, Captain Bob Burke of Princeton slapped a penalty shot into the net at 12.44 to tie the count after Freedley had climaxed three spectacular saves by sitting on the puck. Late in the period Ralph Pope took Harding's pass and broke the deadlock at 18.07. In the final frame Harding sank Roberts' pass at 5.20. The Crimson held the Tiger at bay until just before the final bell, when Barnicle beat Freedley for the last score...
