What with Venizelos in exile, and the rebels totally brought to bay, things were beginning to quiet down in Athens. Yet at high noon, yesterday, the men were aroused from their customary places in the cafes by a penetrating shriek, "Long live Venizelos, and the revolution." Fearing a new uprising, they rushed out en masse to locate the culprit, only to find that the object of their anxiety was no more than a trained parrot. Rebel sympathizers now fear for the life of the parrot...
...according to all critics in all advertisements ought to be together all the time, Warner Baxter and Janet Gaynor.

For all the shooting, the revolt ended with only 100 dead on both sides. The Government, however, promised to execute three times as many. Last week Venizelos, his second wife...
Last week the Greek Government sealed up seven Venizelos houses, including the great Athens mansion-fort with its $5,000,000 (reputed) library, preparatory to confiscating them. As Mussolini turned a cold shoulder to all Greek attempts to extradite the person of the rebel leader, old Venizelos prepared to end his days in exile with his second wife* and the two sons of his first wife, a beautiful Cretan girl dead these 40 years. He smiled sourly when he heard that his opponent. General Kondylis. who was once his ally and fellow-conspirator, had said, "When conditions become normal...
