...stage is "La Fiesta", with Spain in its name, its scenery, a singer, and some voluptuous Dancing Senoritas. Somehow Regis Toomy fits into this, and he is entertaining for a while. But Eddie Cantor's Mad Russian is as maddening as his boss, and makes one forget how agreeably short the vaudeville really...
Matter for Indifference. Meanwhile at the Foreign Office last week Anthony Eden faced the startling fact that Benito Mussolini had somehow obtained and made public in Rome a confidential report to the British Government on the Ethiopian situation made last June by six expert British civil servants: two from the Foreign Office and one each from the Admiralty, Air Ministry, War and Dominions Offices.

Together they frolic about in "All My Eggs in One Basket" and "Let's Face the Music". Another disconcerting fact...
...tree. When the hurricane had made its first passover everything but one of the boats had been swept away. Because the survivors knew the torrent of wind and water would soon be back, from the opposite direction, they abandoned the boat, clung to a heap of coral crags. Somehow they lived through the second onslaught. In even more miraculous manner so did Terangi and the more important part of his tree's crew. The grateful Administrator's wife helped him on to his interrupted escape, then fished untiringly until she pulled up a pardon...
