...need for an American historian who understands the spirit of the country is defined by Bernard Fay in the current Scribners. He points out that "America. . .prey to a tremendous upheaval and laboring under the shock of events which make inoperative an exact sense of her mission and her national aims, needs a first rate instruction in history at once." Other countries have various forces which contribute to national unity, such as the language in France and the traditions of literature and art in Germany; but America lacks these. History has taken that position in this country, according to Professor...
Three schools of historians have grown up as the result of this call, Professor Fay states: the "Outline" history, the realistic or "debunking" history, and the history based on an economic and materialistic analysis. The first was unsatisfactory because of its superficiality, the second because its explanation is wholly destructive.

"Since the vote for his party has declined from 37 per cent to 33 per cent of the total, Hitler has suffered his first major setback since the fall...
With a pace and continuity unusual even among the most capable casts, Fay Bainter, Edith Barrett, George Gaul, and George Baxter keep the audience in an almost constant state of sympathetic suspense throughout the whole play. The characters are four temperamental artists plus a philosophical and Machiavellian old butler. We have always thought the lives of such people were an ideal subject for the playwright. To the conventional member of this work-a-day world, their careers and feelings possess a peculiar fascination. An atmosphere of fairy story illusion pervades all action and this atmosphere provides a desired relief both...
