Orator Hitler has compared himself to a somnambulist and last week he advanced like a woman in her sleep unerringly to the wallet in which Czechoslovakia's President Eduard Benes may be said metaphorically to keep his treaty with Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin...

Unfortunately, the speeches and posturings which the cast must affect are not of the sort which result in success in the theatre. Roadside must be recorded as one of the few missteps of Producer Arthur Hopkins...
...berth. She climbed up on the roof of the car. There she slept. When the train reached Hamburg a brakeman brought her down, chilly, but well-rested, returned her to her mother. The older woman apologized. Unfortunate, most unfortunate-not surprising. Her daughter was a somnambulist...
