...Poland, when Hitler carved Czecho-Slovakia, stood watchful guard over those Carpathian peaks which frown down on the Dniester Valley. When Hungarians rushed in and seized the Carpatho-Ukraine (eastern tip of Czecho-Slovakia), Poles embraced them at their new common border, for Hungary is traditionally Poland's friend. Much depends for Poland on Hungary's continued neutrality, for only by marching around through Hungary, unless he fights through from Cracow to Lwów, can Hitler sever the artery (river, railroad, broad highway) by which France and Britain may give Poland blood transfusions via the Mediterranean...
...organizations of war collided last week, as the spokesmen of belligerents and neutrals said what they had to say, one fact stood out: Germany had lost the war of nerves that had raged through the pre-War summer. No Polish ally backed down. Isolated Germany began the fighting. No friend moved to aid her in the 26 countries of Europe, and although a swift Polish victory could draw them in, none moved as the talking stopped, the shooting started. More completely alone than any great power at the start of any great war, Germany plunged into conflict so vast that...
...Women (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) contains no less than 135 of them, of all ages, shapes, sizes and stages of neurotic disintegration, and the shadow of one man. The man is Stephen Haines. The most important women are his wife Mary (Norma Shearer), her cattish friend Sylvia Fowler (Rosalind Russell), who makes sure that Mary knows about Stephen's carrying on with a perfume salesgirl, and the girl, Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford). Mary's consequent trip to Reno introduces her to many another specimen of her sex, notably a fat U. S. countess (Mary Boland) with a crush...
...Chamberlainish understatement, to become one of the most devastating and effective propaganda pictures ever made. Actress Neagle's Nurse Cavell is much as history made her, a lonely Englishwoman running a nursing home in Brussels when the German war machine spreads over Belgium. When the grandson of her friend Mme Rappard (May Robson) escapes from the Germans and with her help gets away to The Netherlands, she thinks her duty lies with others like him. With the help of Mme Rappard, the resourceful Countess Mavon (Edna May Oliver) and a bargeman's wife (Zasu Pitts), she organizes...
...husband, pulled out of the Selznick partnership. Last year Hollywood gasped when 20th Century-Fox's President Joseph M. Schenck, exasperated with Selznick's demands for Loretta Young, ordered him off the Fox lot. So far, the only person who has caught Myron Selznick napping is his friend and client, Carole Lombard. Renewing her contract with him recently, Cinemactress Lombard had printed a duplicate contract under which Selznick agreed to pay her 10% of his earnings, tricked him into signing it, jokingly demanded an accounting...
