...Impertinence, etc." To this "irresistibly attractive" spiel, the British Foreign Office did not respond like a German election crowd. It looked in vain for one "positive" amelioration of the fact that after all Hitler had violated two international treaties when his soldiers marched into the Rhineland. Foreign Secretary Eden read the document's 3,000 words through carefully, listened to Ambassador von Ribbentrop's further remarks and strode to No. 10 Downing Street where waited the British Cabinet...
James Cagney's latest tough boy spiel, now on the University sheet under the cognomen of "Lady Killer," is the fastest moving and most entertaining film released since "Bomb Shell." Like that Harlow epic, it is no esthete's reward, not yet a De Mille nogrom of the conventions; it is purely and simply a play-up to the inimitable James. Cagney twists his mat face into all sorts of hyena snarls; e bungs the ladies in the snout, and telescopes their jaws as the occasion requires; he enters the picture as a tough usher, graduates to the jewel thief...
There were 768 curlers in the Winnipeg bonspiel; one woman, a Mrs. Snell, got into the men's bonspiel somehow, but indignant curlers said this would never happen again. This time spectacled old Malcolm Cambell, who has been in every spiel since 1889, did not win anything.

...Benediktbeurer Weihmachts spiel," though of German origin, was written in Latin about 1200 A.D. and was discovered in a thirteenth century manuscript in the monastery of Benediktbeurer in southern Germany. In several respects it is unique. It has a long introduction, the Prophets' Play; Joseph has no lines to speak and Mary only one or two; the Devil appears to the shepherds in the field; and there is a long epilogue recounting events in Egypt...
