Like distant thunder but with the beat of a tune. Gargantuan sounds pealed across the western suburbs of Berlin last week. Twenty-five miles away at Siemens-stadt technicians of the German Siemens & Halske electric trust were testing the world's loudest loudspeaker. Its powerful diaphragm can make as much music as a 2,000-piece symphony orchestra, as much noise as 500 lusty German kitchen wenches pounding with wooden spoons on tin dishpans...
...terrific fight when attacked and every Englishman knows how much like a .sheep dog is the Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, M.P., P.C., whilom Prime Minister (1924-29), still Leader of the Conservative Party. Last week Mr. Baldwin began a political dogfight with two of the loudest snarlers in all Britain: the "Press Lords ' Viscount Rothermere and Baron Beaverbrook, famed "Hearsts of England" (TIME Feb. 10).

...best to attend the world premiere of a motion picture. Normally at a Hollywood opening only a handful of the really great attend. The rest cannot be bothered with the ghastly splendor of the ceremonies. But last week one and all turned out. They came in answer to the loudest, shrewdest ballyhoo ever raised in cinema's capital. Besides, they could ill afford to be absent. Admission, for the first time in Hollywood history, was $11 per ticket. They came, also, to see the picture, Hell's Angels. They went away only partly pleased. They had seen incomparably...
