...world Press dithered because all in one morning last week chunky, pipe-sucking Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin conferred with frail old U. S. Ambassador Robert W. Bingham and immediately afterward with hale old Banker J. P. Morgan. Supercilious comment in The City, London's Wall Street, was that most of President Roosevelt's fiscal emissaries to Europe, such as Professor Raymond Moley, have been "neither known nor trusted here" and that if the President now has any proposals to make to His Majesty's Government he could not have done better than to entrust them...
...Wralter J. Bauer, 38, able, grave-faced professor of chemistry at Kirksville College of Osteopathy & Surgery at Kirksville, Mo., was neurotic. While police were still looking for Evelyn Smith, Dr. Bauer married Miss Louise Schaffer, the frail, pretty night superintendent of nurses in Kirksville College's hospital.

Last week there was definitely...
...Raven (Universal). Bela ("Dracula") Lugosi and Boris ("Frankenstein") Karloff, foremost U. S. cinemonsters, first played together in The Black Cat, "suggested" by Edgar Allan Poe's story (TIME, May 28, 1934). The Raven "suggested" by that frail, pathetic poet's best-known poem, suffers chiefly from the obligation its producers felt to give it more bloodcurdling situations and paraphernalia than The Black Cat. Consequently the picture is stuffed with horrors to the point of absurdity. One imposing piece of equipment is a bedroom which descends to the basement like an elevator when its owner wishes to harass...
