...that Joseph Stalin finally decides to cast his lot with Britain and France will be a particularly black one for Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. After that, the acquisition of "vital living spaces" should come hard for the Fiihrer and Il Duce. There may not even be room enough for them at home...
Swing Left. For nearly 18 months, Daladier laid low. Then in 1935, the French Popular Front of Leftist parties was formed. Herriot balked at the Radical Socialists going far enough Left to join with Communists; Leftist Daladier, swinging further Left, plunged in.

Last month within a few days more casts petitioned Actors' Equity Association to be allowed to take cuts than at any other time in Equity's history...
Swing. In small, low-ceiled, table-touching spots where there is hardly room enough to swing a cat, the "cats" swing the room late and loud. Headquarters for swing is Manhattan's sand Street with its solid block of night spots (during speakeasy days, an irate 5 2nd Street householder defensively posted a sign reading "Private House"). On 52nd Street is The Onyx Club, Swing's self-styled "cradle," where Crooner Maxine Sullivan hops things up; The Famous Door, where Trumpeter Louis Prima lays siege to the eardrums; Jack White's 18 Club, which goes...
