...Shop Around the Corner (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) picturizes one of those completely unimportant, highly entertaining, expertly carpentered Hungarian plays which Ferenc Molnar used to turn out by the dozen, which Hollywood does better than it does almost anything else and which Ernst Lubitsch does better than anybody else in Hollywood. Producer-Director Lubitsch, riding high again as a result of his success with Ninotchka, calls this one "a miniature Grand Hotel."

Premier Imredy, while obliged to jail Hungarian Nazi Leader Major Ferenc Szalasi for seditious activities, nevertheless had proved amenable to Nazi ideas. The Premier last month announced plans to bring Hungary into the German-Italian-Japanese Anti-Comintern Pact. His racial laws were in some respects even sterner than the Nazis' own Nürnberg decrees.
