...other hand, Marguerite Zorach spent three years embroidering in Brueghelian detail and enormous panorama of the whole John D. Rockefeller Family at summer play. And Kokoschka gave us a whole multicolored symbolic tradition behind the central figure of Thomas Masaryk...
...account of the international brigades and the hallucinatory propaganda that surrounded them. Sixty thousand young Europeans (mostly French, but 2,800 Americans and 2,000 British were among them) fought in the international brigades or otherwise served the Republican cause.

They also find themselves in a wobbly situation, performing publicly in Communist Prague the day Jan Masaryk dies, and snappishly ordered to perform privately. But perhaps it should first be said that the Sebastians are played, in gay holiday style, by the Lunts. Otherwise, their being ordered by a Communist general to read the minds of his supper guests and their getting nastily involved in political intrigue might create an impression of something grim and arouse hopes of something gripping...
