...weeks the big-eyed, wisp-snouted rodent that is the world's most celebrated film actor re-emerges on the screens of the world with shrill eagerness and a new set of adventures. He pokes into the unknown, pants, heaves and swells his chest at Minnie Mouse, meets grievous setbacks, shrilly gives fight and taps out marvels of dancing, bullfighting, footballing.* Like his predecessor in world popularity, Charlie Chaplin, he has "the wistfulness of ... a little fellow trying to do the best he can." In Germany he is Michael Maus, in France Michel Souris, in Japan Miki Kuchi...

The Maharajah himself has never gone to Europe or America, is a devout, god-fearing and good man. He visited the sacred spots on the Himalaya in 1931. A prompt retraction will, it is hoped, follow...
Ephesus, a city in Asia Minor which today lies ruined in a low, unhealthy marsh, was the traditional home of the Virgin Mary after she left Jerusalem. To Ephesus, in 431, went papal legates, Eastern patriarchs, bishops, to meet in judgment of a grievous heresy.
