There were plenty of prizes, but, as suspected, the very carnal Czechoslovakian film Exstase, even though it so far surpassed every other film in popularity that the Vatican's Osservatore Romano was forced to publish biting editorials (TIME, Aug. 27), won none of them. Prize for the most entertaining film went to Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. Douglas Fairbanks' British-made Private Life of Don Juan was voted the best world première. For giving the largest presentation of films, the Motion Picture Producers & Distributors of America got a loving cup. Acclaimed...
...huge Czechoslovakian and a slight South African were the foreigners the galleries watched most at Forest Hills. Annoyed at being made to play his second-round match in an intermittent shower, Roderick Menzel amused himself by uttering Czechoslovakian epithets, tottering about at snail's pace between points. He was put out in the fourth round. Vernon Gordon Kirby, whose father fought in the Boer War, first gained world recognition when he defeated Baron von Cramm to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon this year. At Forest Hills last week he put Frank Shields out in the quarterfinals, only...
More impressive if not more efficient than any of his confrères was a 200-lb., 6-ft. 3-in.

Unable to find out from their own throttled Press what is going on in their homeland. German citizens have turned more and more to foreign papers. Austrian and Czechoslovakian papers that delighted in the most outlandish anti-Nazi stories were forbidden entry but there was little that could be done about the Swiss Press. Fourteen years of international conferences at Geneva and Lausanne and a national temperament that makes the Swiss the world's finest head waiters, have...
...never sets upon Vickers. It has its factories in Rumania where, for greater convenience, Sir Herbert Lawrence is a director of the Bank of Rumania (and Vickers to some degree allies itself with the Czechoslovakian armament firm of Skoda). In Italy it Latinizes its name to Societa Vickers-Terni; in Japan it has as a subsidiary the Japan Steel Works, and thus allies itself with the Japanese armament and industrial firm of Mitsui. There are Vickers factories or subsidiary companies in Spain, Canada, Ireland, Holland (The Hague offers an appropriate site for some of the Vickers operations), and New Zealand...
