Blonde, boyish Elizabeth (Nicole Stephane) and ailing, somnambulistic Paul (Edouard Dermithe) live like "two limbs of the same body," isolated from the outside world in an unreal, fabulously disordered "turtle's shell" of a room in a Montmartre apartment. In this chamber, "balanced on the brink of a myth," they play in utter unselfconsciousness a childish-grown-up sort of game: prancing and pluming themselves, idolizing and tormenting each other, cramming themselves gluttonously with a sticky hodgepodge of sensations...
...great, grappling close-up in which, as Agatha tells Elizabeth of her love for Paul, only Agatha's forehead is seen on the screen, with Elizabeth's strange, grey face hanging above it. As the Cocteau children, Nicole Stephane with her short, curly hair and Edouard Dermithe with his masklike pallor are as gravely handsome as young Greek deities, as cruel and capricious as little beasts. They are indeed terrible young ones, who resemble each other physically as well as in their temperaments of fire and ice. In the background, a swelling Vivaldi-Bach concerto score shores...
Back in New Delhi last week, after his Swiss climbing expedition gave up just 900 ft. short of Mt. Everest's summit (TIME, March 31), Mountaineer Edouard Wyss-Dunant described a new difficulty facing future Everest climbers.

With the advent of the horseless carriage, André Michelin figured that a reliable guidebook would give both tourism and the tire business a boost. He was right. Today the Michelin Tire Co., still family-owned, is one of the biggest in the world. Worth some $57 million, it has plants in France, Italy, Britain, Belgium, Spain and Argentina. Michelin loses about...
...weeks ago 79-year-old Speaker Edouard Herriot heaved himself up from his chair overlooking France's Assembly to announce that one of its members, Jacques Ducreux, 41, had been killed in an auto smashup. At once the other deputies stood up, according to custom, to wait for the expected eulogy. They knew this one would probably take time: after all, Monsieur Ducreux was a member of the executive committee of Herriot's own Radical Socialist Party. Herriot started off in style: he limned the pastoral beauties of the Vosges countryside where Ducreux came from, and recalled...
