...Marshal Italo Balbo. German Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, after a brief and none-too-cordial reception in Egypt, arrived at the Italian island of Rhodes, in the Eastern Mediterranean, where 45,000 Italian troops were reported as having landed. On the neighboring Dodecanese Islands, strongly fortified Ital ian naval base at the mouth of the Aegean Sea, 15,000 troops awaited orders. Albania was being made a strong Italian military base. In Italy more reservists were called to the colors until 950,000 were under arms. British warships making scheduled trips to Italian ports suddenly left...
...merry time of year in Moscow under the Soviet regime has always been when delegates come swarming up all the railways of Russia, traveling on free passes, supplied with bounteous food & drink, and are given the best hotel rooms in the cap-ital-used by tourists in the summer-while they meet as the Parliament of Bolshevism.

Lieutenant Tito Falconi, young Ital- ian stunter who last fortnight broke his own world's endurance record for upside-down flying with a 3 hr., 8 min. flight from St. Louis to Chicago, did a topsy-turvy climbing bank and "dead stick'' dive. Major Ernst Udet, famed German War ace, sent his Flamingo teetering crazily across the field, on the third try neatly snatched a handkerchief...
Obviously the action of the play is largely psychological. Without Ital- ian much of this drama must necessarily drown, like Ellida's sailor, among the waves of unfriendly verbs and consonants. But for the performance of the great tragedienne, the production would be worse than worthless...
