...FIRST W O R L D WAR proves again that the editorial pen of Laurence Stallings can boil down the horrors of a four-year holocaust into a brief but forceful message for world peace. With the narration h e l d down to a bare minimum, the film gives you the brutality and inconsistencies of the World War in behind-the-scenes shots, many of which came from the cinematographic archives of the nations participating. Proof of the ability of the picture to "speak for itself" is given by the many slashing, booming, gorey minutes during which...
STEFAN SWEIG'S pen is guided by a versatile hand and although it has shown particular ability at thrilling narrative such as "Marie Antoinette" it is more than capable in recording scholarly research and thought. Zweig's biography of Erasmus is not a conventional biography; it is rather a perceptive study of the great thinker as a representative of sixteenth century Humanism, a cold unimpassioned word picture of a mind rather than a man.

In 1893 German editors reported it as the authentic speech...
Johannes Steel (a pen name for a German exile who headed the German industrial espionage) tells us in his new book, "The Next World War," just published, that all this Aryan-anti-Jewish patter in Germany is a scheme to make the Germans forget their own class warfare--to weld them into one united family. Elsewhere we are informed that the Nordic-Teutonic stage business is to cover the plan to forge northern and central Europe into a self-contained economic confederation. See the Rosenberg plan in Ernst Henri's book "Hitler Over Europe...
