Famed for his ''introvert'' and "extravert" classifications, Switzerland's great Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung last week branched out into psychopolitical analysis, announced in London: "I have just come from America, where I saw Roosevelt. Make no mistake, he is a force-a man of superior and impenetrable mind, but perfectly ruthless, a highly versatile mind which you cannot foresee. He has the most amazing power complex, the Mussolini substance, the stuff of a dictator absolutely...
Bunker Bean (RKO). Admirers of Harry Leon Wilson's famed Merton of the Movies will find in Wilson's Bunker Bean another introvert so thoroughly frustrated that his past neglect by picturemakers seems inexplicable. Bean (Owen Davis Jr.) is a male secretary who spends evenings typing, gratis, a fellow-roomer's treatise on reincarnation. Gathering from this work that a man's success depends on knowing what he was in past incarnations, Bean consults a seeress who tells him he was Napoleon Bonaparte. To live up to his astral personality, Bean buys a loud checked costume...
...Jubilee Era, slightly oversold on its message, Love Will Find a Way. Benjie Herries (Robert Montgomery) is the black sheep of a huge English manor-house and bagpipe family. Other members of the family include a female centenarian (May Robson), lovely young Vanessa (Helen Hayes) and an anti-social introvert with a persecution complex (Otto Kruger). The trouble starts when Benjie goes to China instead of marrying Vanessa immediately. When he gets back, the manor house burns down and she suspects him of cowardice in not rescuing her father. Hurt, Benjie marries a barmaid. Dismayed, Vanessa marries the introvert...

His fellow dancers always . . thought Nijinsky unbalanced. Diaghilev kept him from the world because as a sheltered, brooding introvert he did his finest work. Without Diaghilev he deteriorated as a dancer and as a choreographer. As an impresario he was a pathetic failure. When Diaghilev died Haskell, like many another balletomaniac, despaired of the ballet's future. But the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe and the development of Choreographer Leonide Massine gave...
Last week, in Gary Ross's Manhattan studio, Zelda Fitzgerald showed her pictures, made her latest bid for fame. The work of a brilliant introvert, they were vividly painted, intensely rhythmic. A pinkish reminiscence of her ballet days showed figures with enlarged legs and feet-a trick she may have learned from Picasso. An impression of a Dartmouth football game made the stadium look like the portals of a theatre, the players like dancers. Chinese Theatre was a gnarled mass of acrobats with an indicated audience for background. There were two impressionistic portraits of her husband, a verdant Spring...
