Turning of the Tyrol. At the end of April there were municipal elections in Innsbruck, capital of the Tyrol. Austrian Nazis polled twelve times their strength in 1931. Observers admitted that the Tyrol was probably 75% pro-Nazi. Since then has come Chancellor Dollfuss' personal success at the London Economic Conference, the patriotism campaign, the winning of the right to increase Austria's army, Germany's virtual embargo on tourists to Austria, her unbelievably stupid border skirmishing in which she alienated thousands by killing several Austrian frontier guards, and the active fortification of the Austrian frontier (TIME...
Considerably less evanescent than the play by Samuel N. Behrman in which, performing as Sigrift, Critic Alexander Woollcott scored a sedentary success, Brief Moment emerges in the cinema as a bright investigation of small problems, slick, chipper and reasonably entertaining.

...happy combination of sentiment, metaphysical poetry and A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court, Berkeley Square has all the qualifications of a succes d'estime and most qualifications for success at the box office.

Surgeon Rienhoff found...
First white man to penetrate the Barren Lands, he counted his expedition a success when he came back alive with a single trophy: a musk-ox head. Grimly faithful diarist, no matter how frost-bitten or near-delirious with tropical fever, he seldom missed recording his daily tale. Fond of good living when he could get it, he learned to thrive on savage fare. Few things turned his stomach. Once in Africa, stooping to drink from a shallow well, he saw in the water beneath his own reflection "the ragged black face of a man, newly murdered...
