Meanwhile gallant Premier-reject Edouard Herriot, who went down fighting for payment to the U. S. when the Chamber overthrew his Cabinet (TIME, Dec. 26), received last week the most flabbergasting surprise of his life. As M. Herriot said not long ago: "Half the skill of being Premier of France lies in knowing how to fall!" but last week he learned that he need not have fallen, need never have raised the debt issue in the Chamber, need not have worried about it all those months...

Since the obvious idea is one which cinema producers have overlooked, and since it is handled with skill and enthusiasm, If I Had a Million gives the impression of being a startlingly original picture as well as clever and interesting. John Glidden (Richard Bennett) is a crusty millionaire, infuriated by the avarice and incompetence of the persons who expect to inherit his money. Instead of making a will he decides to distribute his fortune, $1,000,000 at a time, to persons selected at random from the telephone directory...
