...Juárez (Warner Bros.). When Juárez (pronounced "Hwa'-race") had its world premiere in Manhattan's Hollywood Theatre last week, C. I. O.'s John Llewellyn Lewis showed up in a starched shirt. Before the picture started, everyone stood for The Star-Spangled Banner.* Both tributes were fitting, for Juárez is the most political and patriotic canto in the whole Warner cycle of epic biography. Produced at a cost of $2,000,000, over a period of two years, with the services of six Academy Award winners and a cast...
...hero of Juárez, who does not appear in it, is James Monroe, fifth President of the U. S. and promulgator of the doctrine that the U. S. wants no foreigners in its back yard. Juárez begins when that doctrine is challenged by cocky little Napoleon III (Claude Rains), who thinks he can set up a Mexican Empire while the U. S. has its hands full with the Civil War.

Toothy Mr. Yin, who looks most of the time like a startled rabbit, is a Chinese with a potent Japanese in-law who became a "general" overnight by so styling himself, and by the grace of Japanese bayonets. He was ruling uneventfully last...
...Major General Kenji Doihara who intrigued and bribed for the five North China provinces of Hopei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shansi and Shantung to set themselves up as "autonomous" and independent of the rest of China (TIME, Nov. 25, 1935 et seq.). At about this time a Mr. Yin Ju-keng, a toothy and unappetizing Chinese with potent Japanese in-laws, was set up by Japanese soldiers as the satrap of a tiny strategic area adjoining Peiping and Tientsin which he still holds. General Doihara failed miserably so far as Suiyuan, Shansi and Shantung were concerned and returned to Japan in semi...
