...which the Governor, because of political cowardice, at first refuses. By the time the Governor changes his mind, there is nothing left of the jail but a smoking ruin in which, at the flaming window of a cell, Katharine Grant has a last glimpse of her fiance. But a newsreel unit arrives before the militia. Wilson, who has escaped, sees in a theatre the story of his own burning. He sees the faces of the lynchers and memorizes them. To his brothers (Frank Albertson, George Walcott) he confides his purpose. He will have every lyncher hanged for his own "death...
TRAVELS IN TWO DEMOCRACIES-Ed-mund Wilson-Harcourt, Brace ($2.50). Records like Mark Sullivan's Our Times are valuable, as any competently edited newsreel is valuable.

The bad taste which characterized the fracas at one of the "Bremen" sailings last year has recently been exhibited again in more intense form in the controversy over Heidelberg's invitations. If the hissing that accompanies newsreel shots of the "Hindenburg" is any criterion by which to judge a general attitude, than the visit of Germany's new airship will be a total loss so far as that nebulous international bluff, good-will, is concerned...
