King Carol flew into such a fury that the Cabinet of Premier George Tatarescu hastily offered His Majesty their resignations and burned up wires to Berlin and Rome demanding the recall of German Minister Dr. Wilhelm Fabricius and Italian Minister Ugo Sola. The Cabinet sent "warnings" to the Polish, Portuguese and Japanese legations against repeating the offense of attending in Bucharest an anti-Jewish funeral...
...MARIETTA-Johan Fabricius-Little, Brown ($3). Looking back on the earlier 1930's, what would some Mark Sullivan of the future pick as typical novels of that bygone day? He might well choose such a lean and lustful tale as John O'Hara's Butterfield 8. He might mention in passing such names as John Dos Passes, Sinclair Lewis, William Faulkner. But these would all be sideshows. Most phenomenally popular book of the quinquennium, he would report, was Hervey Allen's Anthony Adverse. By 1935 critics who had tried to blink it off as simply...

One other novel of Fabricius', Lions Starve in Naples, has been published...
Insult. The spectacle of British actors speaking British-translated lines from a Dutch drama on an American stage is likely to become confusing. So marked are the types in Jan Fabricius' play that one feels the mummers have mislaid the Sam Browne belts, pith helmets and khaki drill uniforms of England's tropical troops, adorning themselves by some unfortunate mistake in the wardrobe department with the pot caps and gaiters of the Dutch East Indies colonial army. This is rather a weighty matter since the costuming in such an absurd play as Insult is a necessary adjunct to the silly...
