...Dawes Plan (TIME, Feb. 18, et seq.). Last week a news leak from the secret Committee sessions revealed that of all the Allied delegates only M. Francqui has roughly baited and tried out cross-examination methods on Germany's correct and stiff-necked "Iron Man." famed Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Chief German Delegate and Governor of the Reichsbank. Typical was the reply of Belgian Croesus Francqui, last week, when correspondents impertinently asked whether the Belgian Government is paying his expenses in Paris...
...second major step of the Committee, last week, was taken by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht when he reappeared in Paris after dashing over to Berlin "so as to attend my daughter's wedding."

Blanche Yurka is tall, almost burly. As the placid wife of improvidential Hjalmar Ekdal in The Wild Duck she filled an ample role to which her body, her accomplishments and her God better suit her than the tense thing to which she has tried to suit herself in Hedda Gabler. She gives a certain effect of languor, but it is the languor, not of a bitter neurotic, but of a temporarily awakened marble slowly reverting to stone...
