...Baroness and the Butler (Twentieth Century-Fox) whips up a froth of excitement out of the eggy idea that a butler may have political theories as well as a desire for the boss's daughter. Based on Ladislaus Bus-Fekete's wishy-washy comedy of Flungarian manners. The Lady Has a Heart (TIME, Oct. 4), it is Hollywood's first attempt to stereotype blonde, personably gamine French Actress Annabella. Annabella (real name: Suzanne Charpentier) was first noticed by U. S. cinemaudiences in 1931 in French Director Rene CLair's Le Million. Her first English-speaking picture...

As his collection grew he filled the bedroom of his handsome old colonial house in Charleston, S.C. with them, then redecorated his entire apartment in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel in robin's-egg blue, cork walls and homespun tapestries to hang the rest. Over his marble fireplace hangs...
...Prague Castle's gothic, spidery Ladislaus Hall last week the 420 Deputies and Senators of Czechoslovakia's parliament met to elect a President by secret ballot. The secrecy was unnecessary because all the world knew what the result would be. For the fourth successive time gentle white-chinned Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, first and only President of Czechoslovakia, was overwhelmingly elected. Today President Masaryk is 84; if he lives out his fourth term he will...
