...Scarlet Dawn (Warner). Soviet Russia interests Hollywood profoundly. Most of the major producers feel sure that there is a good scenario somewhere in the Five-Year Plan and they are trying hard to find it. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has spent $200,000 trying to do so without success; whatever Warner Brothers spent on this picture can safely be listed on the wrong side of the ledger also. This is the fault, not of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. who acts in the picture and helped Niven Busch Jr. write an intelligent adaptation from Mary McCall's novel, but of a weakness...
...line of bobbies hold. A second mob, however, had rushed down Whitehall, 5,000 strong, heading for No. 10 Downing St., the residence of Prime Minister MacDonald. This mob was briefly checked, until police reserves could rush up and beat it back, by a thin line of ornate, scarlet-coated heroes, the Royal Horse Guards?erroneously supposed by tourists to be good for nothing but the ceremony of "changing the guard...
...became a Republic in 1919. King George, who hides his German light under a bushel and has changed his name to Windsor, was not there. Neither were any of his sons. But His Majesty's first cousin, Prince Arthur of Connaught, strode up the aisle in the tight scarlet of a British guardsman. Deposed Kaiser Wilhelm was represented by his grandson Prince Wilhelm, in field grey topped by a steel helmet. Two most exalted shadows came in person.

It is pressed among the bare hills of a French Catalan fishing village 30 mi. from the Spanish border. In Banyuls 71 years ago Aristide Maillol was born, there he still spends his winters. His grandfather was a huge peasant of tremendous physical strength who was actively engaged in Banyuls' third most important industry, smuggling. Smuggler Maillol was successful enough to indulge his grandson's taste for art, though young Aristide...
...stigmata. Dr. Stewart, overworked, lost resistance and last week went to bed with infantile paralysis. Probably his only ill effect will be a weak right leg. Puzzling is the apparent immunity of medical men to infectious or contagious diseases. All last year only one physician died of infantile paralysis, scarlet fever, anthrax, parrot fever, or undulant fever. Of 2,952 U. S. doctors who died during the year (average age: 63.8-) heart disease killed 1,065, cerebralhemorrhage 365, pneumonia 312, hardening of the arteries 252, kidney ailments 237, cancer 236, blood poisoning 45, influenza 36. Sixty-four committed suicide (most...
