...Soctalists in Austria are already powerless. The Nazis, who desire the annexation of Austria to Germany, are still organized and are becoming more and more aggressive. If the head of the Heimwehr, the Hapsburg Prince Starhemberg, who is against annexation, finds himself unable to control his men, then the Nazi element will gain the upper hand within the Heimwehr. And in this case, the movement towards immediate annexation of Austria by Germany will become unresisted, and official foreign intervention unavoidable...
...mists of reserve and whimsy felt rather than seen in "Rasputin and the Empress," and in "Grand Hotel." The slow tempo of these parts probably derives from that streak in Barrymore which made an unduly ruminative Hamlet in the old days, while these dashing airs, this hereditarial madness of Hapsburgs and Barrymores recalls Prince Hal of a past decade. In the role of a self-infoxteated.

It is not too much to say that to gaze at Lynn Fontanne, to follow her movements carefully is an experience only too rare in a world of harsh vulgarities. She does wonderfully in her part; her poise, her dress, her voice...
...revolution bravely and become the wife of a psychoanalyst, eminent in "Vienna's only remaining industry." This is not a marriage of love or understanding, just a practical marriage, and has been made miserable with specters and names from Elena's glamorous history. Then the relicts of the Hapsburg Court return, some from London millinery shops, others from managing positions in Swiss boarding houses, and as piece de resistance comes Prince Rudolph from his taxi business to revive memories in Vienna and to toy with champagne on a pauper's holiday. Elena is attacked by severe nostalgia and goes...
