Poil de Carotte (Pathè-Natan). From European studios have come by far the most searching film studies of childhood and adolescence. While Hollywood was planning some new caprice for Jackie Cooper, Berlin was turning out such cinematic masterpieces as Maedchen in Uniform and Emil und die Detektiv (not yet released in the U. S.). This French production (spoken in French with English subtitles) and the delicate performance of young Robert Lynen measure up to the high German standard...
...holding the balance of power. His wearing of the Jager uniform was romantic bait for the patriotic Heimwehr. More bait was dangled in the rumor that the Austrian Army will soon shuck its dull German field-grey, re-emerge in the gallant blue of the old K.u.K (Kaiserliche und Königliche) Armee, long vanished from the modern world except in Hollywood cinemas.

...economic scale it was announced that the powerful Federation of German Industries had been Nazified too. It was not necessary to send Storm Troopers to call on the tycoons.

He may even know the encyclopaedic facts concerning the French Romanticists of the gaslit era and the battlefields of the Sturm und Drang may be an open book to him. But it is questionable whether or not he is sufficiently prepared to keep his calm in a world of raucous dust cover blurbs, eclectic modern poetry, and rumbling Broadway controversies. Had he been able, for example, as a senior, to supplement...
...genuine Altdeutscher Rathskeller. In the old days, Wisconsin beer-drinkers frequented the Hausmann brewery in Madison. Its bar is now in the new Rathskeller, a strictly masculine sanctuary on whose walls are painted Heidelberg students brandishing steins, a fat monk on a wine cask, a bartender with Speise-und-Getränke Karten, a motto: Des Lebens Sonnenschein ist trinken, lieben, fröhlich sein ("Life's sunshine is to drink, to love, to be merry"). At first the Rathskeller had another bit of Munich realism - a six-inch layer of sawdust on the floor...
