Three weeks ago Ethiopia's deposed little Emperor Haile Selassie walked down the gangplank of the British cruiser Enterprise at Haifa. Behind him trotted his beloved white & tan papillon. Last week at Haifa the Conquered Lion of Judah walked up the gangplank of another British cruiser, the Capetown, which was to take him to Gibraltar. Thence he was expected to make his own way to London. Again the fuzzy little papillon pattered at his heels. Farther behind followed Crown Prince Asfa Wassan and his 12-year-old brother, the Duke of Harar, both tricked out in European sack suits...

Paramount and Fenway this week spend their evenings alternately donning buskin and sock in a felicitous double bill of "The Informer" and "Her Master's Voice". Victor McLaglen's astonishing ascent from his usual dead-pan broken-nose roles to his characterization of an informer in the Black and Tan uprisings in Dublin in 1922, giving away his pal to the police for the reward, attempting to drown his remorse in a night of mighty and generous carousal, and finally, confronted with the incontrovertible fact of his treachery, fleeing the vengeance of his pal's friends, only to be shot...

...Children. He has one class a day, at 8 a. m., after which he works in his office, which has a black steel desk, cream walls, tan curtains, grey rug, a cosmic-ray counter clicking away in a corner; or in the laboratories just outside where he has $50,000 worth of equipment for his own researches. He does much of his own experimental work, and his assistants admire his manual skill. He is reputed the best scientific glassblower in the Midwest...
