Another immediate result of the Reynaud-Simon performance was a bullish flurry on the Paris Bourse and the London Stock Exchange, where business-as-usual is the rule, and transactions now, though smaller than normal, are in larger volume than just before war broke...
While France's Paul Reynaud and Britain's Sir John Simon put their heads together to strengthen the external economy of the Allies (see above), one of Britain's leading economists advanced a notable plan to strengthen Britain's internal economy, to help pay for the war while it is being fought, to help smooth the economic bumps which must be felt when it is over.

He screams and slobbers through the plot with remarkable gusto. The contrast of these two of his latest parts is really astonishing. As a sop to the earthy aesthetics of the masses, there is also a quite delectable blonde named Maleleine Ozeray who plays a quite unorthodox feminine lead to an antiquated lecher of the stage played by Louis Jouvet. The cast, as a whole, really carries...
