...slogan for California has resulted in a rebuff from Roosevelt which materially damages that picturesque purveyor of political panaceas' chances of election. An entertaining spectacle this, in all its ironic humor, but pertinent to this review only in hat it shows that the administration, sicklied o'er with the pale hue of approaching elections, is making a pathetic attempt to "Turn To the Right." Market students must always bear in mind that "inflation," now in a "potential" state, may at any time become "kinetic...
...again came the pale shadow of Alexander Stavisky, almost forgotten for a few days. France's Minister of War is Marshal Henri Pétain. Honest and ingenuous, he is serving his first trick in a Council of Ministers and hence has little understanding of the terrific pressure, the secret wire-pulling, under which equally honest Minister of Justice Henry Cheron has attempted to conduct the Stavisky investigation...
...school well. And after 13 days, when he was gone, the school realized that it never knew the new boy either. Sandroyd School, Surrey, so small that it is omitted from most British school directories, settled back to its usual existence last week, after the exciting thought that the pale little boy of 11, the one with the bangs and the bony knees, had suddenly become a King, and for a moment the most spotlighted person in the world.

Glory to Him!" at every mention of the dead King. Eyes kept turning from the pale Prince Regent to another figure behind him. grizzled, bristling General Pera Zivkovitch, by tradition the man who let the murderers of Alexander Obrenovitch into the royal palace, virtual dictator for three years under...
...months' U. S. tour. has four outstanding dancers : handsome David Lichine, spectacular for his leaps, his sensuous grace; pretty feathery Tatiana Riabouchinska, whom Colonel de Basil has insured against marriage; dark dynamic Tamara Tamounova and Irina Baronova. The greatest of these, says Critic Haskell, is Baronova, 15, ashy, pale-haired Russian emigrée who grew up in the Balkans, studied in Paris with the Imperial ballerina, Olga Preobrajenska. Baronova's technic is amazing. She can do 32 spins (fouettés) without stopping. But more, her dancing has the same subtle, unearthly quality which marked the early...
