...play. Next week TIME will be occupied with discussions of Nerves by John Farrar and Stephen Vincent Benét and of Glory by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson. Hard on their heels will come Havoc, fresh from a London success, and The Conquering Hero, by Allan Monkhouse, an Englishman, under the beneficent auspices of the Theatre Guild. At least two others are now in preparation. The swagger and tinsel of war in the theatre of eight years ago has been discarded. The majority of these new productions are bitter, ironic dissections of sorrow. Probably none of them will possess...
...Spectator (London), independent Conservative weekly, contained this statement: "This is a new reading of English history, under which Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights become simply the public expression of the Englishman's dislike of discomfort and inconvenience- not by any means an unattractive reading!" priest, Don Sturzo, the Party professed undying hostility to Benito; but, because the Premier was trying to conciliate the Catholics, many members of the Party sympathized with him, seceded, became political nonentities...

Yet when I had seen two reels of his dreams, there seemed nothing to say. He went out of the room, and none...
...well, what I saw the other morning was, after all, only a shy little Englishman trying to put across an invention, just as scared, doubtless, as the youngest ingénue trying out her first speaking line on Broadway. The human comedy is just as amusing, just as pathetic, just as worth playing and writing as ever; and Death, whether by death-ray or automobile accident, just as cruel, kind and inevitable as ever-just as inevitable as bad novels and good novels coming in a steady stream across my desk...
