...When sad-eyed President Albert Lebrun appealed to gay and popular former President Gaston ("Gastounet") Doumergue to emerge from retirement and come forward as a "nonpolitical" Premier, he declined, pleading his age (70). Chunky, canny Edouard Herriot was next best choice, but though untouched by the Stavisky scandal himself, he is president of the Radical Socialist Party which has been accused of accepting campaign contributions from Swindler Stavisky.

Last week Greek Catholic Archpriest Nicholas Kedroff, Dean of St. Nicholas Russian Cathedral in Manhattan, led his congregations in a prayer that Anna Sten's first U. S. production would be successful. His piety and Producer Goldwyn's extravagance were misplaced. Nana is sad but spurious and stodgy.

Fear has two main plot themes: 1) Ivan Borodin's efforts to deal with his political superiors, who appoint incompetents to assist him and interfere with his scientific researches; 2) the sad case of Amalya, a withered female aristocrat. Borodin makes Amalya his housekeeper while officials appoint her ignorant daughter-in-law his assistant. This coincidence brings together Amalya and her Communist son.

...their stride without being tripped. The story of a runaway boy's adventures among the tramps of the English countryside, the down-&-outers of London, Jack Robinson really has two narrators: the unthinking but observant boy, the almost too reflective man he afterwards becomes.
