Cooper. Into action on the U. S. front went Alfred Duff Cooper, the Conservative statesman who last year resigned as First Lord of the Admiralty in protest to Prime Minister Chamberlain's "surrender" at Munich. He arrived in Manhattan with his beauteous actress wife, the former Lady Diana Manners, to tour the land and deliver 40 lectures (for a "very substantial fee," his agent said...
...Duff Cooper's first contribution was a press interview in which he announced his belief that the War will be ended, soon or late, by a revolution in Germany of the Right, joined in by the German Army.

He was still the same Hitler, always being persecuted, first by those fearful bullies, the Jews, next by that ogre, Dr. Schuschnigg, third by that world power, Czecho-Slovakia...
...addition to its crackling screen play (by Norman Reilly Raine and Warren Duff from Jerome Odium's novel), its sharp camera eye (Warners' Director William Keighley), Each Dawn I Die is made memorable by the easy mastery of its two principals. Cinemactors Cagney and Raft, the screen's two deadliest Ruffie MacTuffies, have been friends ever since they began their careers as vaudeville hoofers in Manhattan in the 205. Cagney was responsible for one of Raft's earliest cinema parts, a dancing bit in Cagney's Taxi. Their appropriate reunion, also celebrating their return...
