...stage. Reinhold Faust left his seat in Row K, four off the aisle. A woman saw flame, and screamed. Chicago Fireman (now Fire Commissioner) Michael J. Corrigan grabbed a bomb, yanked out its phosphorescent fuse, rushed outside before it could spray buckshot among the 2,200 people present. The perpetrator was not discovered...
...high that Japan will have to strain hard not to lose ground. In fiscal 1939 Great Britain is spending $302,500,000 on new construction, the U. S. $211,113,000, Japan $16,420,950.

Humphrey Bogart does a fine job as a leering and scheming villain. But Rosemary Lane has been badly miscast. Although she may present a luscious bit of femininity crooning dulcet lyrics in a Dick Powell musical, Miss Lane has not the force necessary to carry this heavy dramatic part. However, the film itself suffers from too much of this serious emotionalism. Its lack of an occasional touch of levity keeps it from being...
