Newsworthy are the facts that Lieut.-Colonel Franz von Papen's appointment drew condemnation from nearly every German party, including his own Catholic Party, which turned against him. Nevertheless TIME said: "In Washington, where von Papen was German Military Attache when the War opened, both [his wife] and he were popular. . . . Evidence against von Papen was supplied chiefly by British operatives, perhaps not above crediting falsehoods against a German in time of war" (TIME, July 4). As Chancellor, Lieut.-Colonel Franz von Papen has never yet dared to face the Reichstag, knowing that his "Cabinet of Monocles" would meet...
Strange Interlude (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Eugene O'Neill's cinematized nine-act play of soul-sucking Nina Leeds drew a record crowd at its Hollywood opening.

In Die Walkure there were not the usual nine but 17 Valkyries galloping over the mountain. Brünnehilde's eight new sisters were given made-up. Wagnerian-sounding names like "Ritthelle." "Kampfsiege," "Trautschilde." There were real...
...Fontainebleau. He figured music buildings brought him luck. He figured further that the main problem of an opera house was to get the people in and out quickly. Concentrating on the cloak rooms and taxi driveway, he drank gallons of black coffee, slept on the floor of his cubicle, drew and erased with furious care. There is no telephone in the Bronx home where Finalist Granelli lives with his father, an Italian mosaicist. But last week he got a telegram. He thought the judges, including Architects Ely Jacques Kahn and Whitney Warren, had decided. Fran tically he jumped into...
