Greatest single Polish worry is the fear that some day the Reichswehr and the Red Army will choose Poland as a battlefield (see map, p. 17). For Poland a Russo-German war would be an unmitigated tragedy, but almost as ominous would be a real Russo-German friendship. Not easily forgotten by Poles is the fact that a friendly Prussia, Russia and Austria helped themselves to generous slices of Poland in 1772 and 1793, swallowed the country completely in 1795-96. Although Napoleon briefly resuscitated the Duchy of Warsaw in 1807, the country did not regain real independence until after...
...play this style . . . To find why many musicians like Red Norvo's band, listen to "I Get Along Without You Very. Well" (Vocation) . . . Teddy Wilson's "More Than You Know" (Brunswick) with Billie Holiday vocal and Benny Carter alto sax has that proper feeling that goes into a real swing record . . . Made three days before she started to sing regularly with the band, Helen O'Connell's first record with Jimmy Dorsey (Decca) "Romance Runs In The Family," is an excellent job, though not nearly up to what she can do . . . The record of "Fate" and "Deep Purple" is well...
...Trust still had over a million in cash on hand, but it did not open for business again. With $21,500,000 in deposits still on its books, it was the biggest bank failure in five years. Reason: under Boss Frank Hague, Jersey City's tax rate on real estate is the highest in the U.

...Oregon Trailer, centres his story on a family of Illinois farmers who made the trip in 1852. His characters are plain folk, not fancy Indian-fighters and adventurers. His Indians are mostly beggars and hangers-on, a menace only to horses, cows and the pioneers' imaginations. The real enemies are cholera, diarrhea, dust, heat, rivers, white bandits, traders, quarreling among themselves. Out of jealousy, the caravan captain ruthlessly abandons a middleaged, kindly schoolteacher in the desert. But he is efficient, and he does not, like many another captain, abandon women and the sick because they cannot keep...
...often that Hollywood can put as many as five interesting people together in a single movie. This is the accomplishment of "The Shining Hour," now at the University, and even better, these interesting characters rise above the limitations of a trite triangle plot and become real, credible characters. They are Joan Crawford, nightclub dancer, who marries Melvyn Douglas, a member of the rich, aristocratic family of Lindens. Robert Young, in the process of trying to prevent the marriage, falls in love with Miss Crawford himself, much to the distress of his wife, Margaret Sullavan, and his sister, Fay Bainter. Outstanding...
