...vaguely conservative and vaguely orthodox character under the Great Extemporizer, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, President of the Reichsbank and Minister of Economics. Last April, when the Nazi radicals had been working up for several months within the Party a campaign to force dismissal of Dr. Schacht, General Göring abruptly took Germany's fiscal wizard under his hulking personal protection, and last week Adolf Hitler erected this state of affairs into a German institution with imposing trappings.

Another blow was an intimation from the Minister-President that he will fix by decree on Nov. 9 the retail price in Germany of meat and meat products, including beef, pork, tallow, lard, bacon, ham and sausages...
...inspiration of Tennyson's famed ballad, will be considerably enhanced by this picture. The Charge of the Light Brigade explains the confusion in the Crimea as romantically as possible. If the result is untrustworthy as research, it is superlatively valid as entertainment, with an honest emotional ring that makes it one of the outstanding cinemas of the season...
