...Government made a martyr of Ramon Grau San Martin last January when "garage diplomacy," initiated by U. S. Ambassador Sumner Welles, forced him to end his four-month regime in resignation. The youngish (49) bachelor surgeon moped off to Mexico City and exile. His successor as Provisional President, Carlos Mendieta, has played a smart and liberal game but has not erased the memory of martyred Grau from the minds of Cuba's lower classes. Still practically ungovernable, they believe in Grau. Last week 100,000 of them, students, workmen, Negroes, sailors, swarmed around the docks in Havana Harbor...

Comedy by Charles Butterworth and a couple of good songs are the highlights in "Cat and the Fiddle," sweet little romance starring Ramon Novarro and the perennially young Jeanette McDonald.

Ramon, who had been promoted, was too ambitious to join, but Micky did. That put a stop to their affair. Mrs. Thayer thought Ramon...
...Fiddle (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). A Broadway success of two years ago, this musicomedy slides neatly into cinema. Set in Brussels and Paris, it is sleek, plausible, sentimental. An operetta composer (Ramon Novarro) meets, loves and teams up with a U. S. girl (Jeanette MacDonald) who also writes songs. A manager (Frank Morgan) likes Novarro's tunes but eyes the girl with more relish. He publishes her song, "The Night is Made for Love," the success of which enables MacDonald and Novarro to live in a glittering Paris flat. But Novarro, producing nothing himself, returns to Brussels in gloom. Miss...
