Observers in Rome easily understood this as retaliation for the way the British press gloated over Italy's disastrous defeat at Brihuega in Spain two months ago (TIME, March 29 et seq.) and her even more ignominious rout at the hands of the Basque fishwives of Bermeo last fortnight. Deeper than this, Mussolini has burned for months over British insistence on having a representative of Haile Selassie's Ethiopian Government at the Coronation...
Five years ago potent Publisher Alfred Hugenberg, at that time head of an ardent Nationalist Party, was picked by many a wiseacre as the likeliest man to stop the march to power of Adolf Hitler. Publisher Hugenberg was wiser. Even before Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, Alfred Hugenberg prudently dissolved his own party, loudly and publicly joined the Nazis. Herr Hitler was grateful, for a while, but last week Alfred Hugenberg was forced to resign from his last important job: director of UFA, Germany's largest motion picture company...
...already been completely Nazified with paunchy Emil Jannings as one of its actor-directors. The gobbling of UFA not only gave the Goebbels office a hold on Germany's cinema industry as strong as that it already has over the press; it gave Goebbels virtual ownership. In March, even before the switch in directors, an anonymous group bought control of UFA from the Hugenberg group.

...grandfather, Christian IX, who died in 1906. In 1898, the year in which he became Captain of the Royal Guards, the young giant married Alexandrine, Duchess of Mecklenburg. Christian has always been touchy about his height (6 ft. 6 in.), remarks petulantly "I know. I am too long." Last March when he passed through Berlin he stopped to visit Dictator Hitler- whose proximity makes it expedient for Denmark to be chummy-the German Government shrewdly put at Christian's disposal the specially built car of the late President von Hindenburg, another giant. The Danish King was thus able...
...about the last possible refinement. Not only does nothing actually happen in the story but the fact that at its end the Hiltons are exactly where they were at its beginning constitutes its denouement. This is because, in the interim, each has been touched, lightly as by the warm March wind, by currents in life that invite or threaten change. Seventeen-year-old Catherine (Olivia de Havilland) has fallen in first love with the artist who is painting her portrait. Her brother Martin (Peter Willes) is interrupted in planning to run away from home by an invitation to dinner from...
