...that "policy" and "action"' are two different things. Action by British Labor spent itself last week in a sudden burst of strongly suppressed riots. But the policy of British Labor turned historically toward revolution in Leicester, a rusty old red brick English city on the Soar (into which upright Leicesterians hurled the corpse of detested King Richard III). In 1841 Leicester gave birth to Thomas Cook's first "Cook's Tour"-from Leicester to Loughborough (some 10 mi.) and back. Today Leicester busies herself chiefly in making women's stockings. Last week her proletarians welcomed with...
...toast civilizations to a crisp. He tortures the scientist and his family to learn the secret of its operation. Chandu monotonously rescues them from his clutches to which they monotonously return. Using his knack of turning rifles into snakes, turning gold pieces into toads, stiffening ropes upright in air, passing through solid walls, getting out of coffins at the bottom of the Nile, and abrogating strict Yoga discipline long enough to fall in love with an Egyptian princess, Chandu should reasonably have solved the situation and ended the picture in three minutes.

"Light comes from the East! Japan and Manchukuo have become the centre of the world with Japan standing as the Guide to Civilization. . . . What care we for the jealousy and oppression of the Western Powers? Whatever the persecution to be suffered and the sacrifices demanded...
...cinema that to expect them to control the lubricity of anything else would seem too much. Yet the Hays organization sometimes attempts it. Last year, regulations against salacious cinemadvertising were added to the industry's code. Last week came another incident to heat and bother the upright Presbyterian soul of Tsar Hays. In Motion Picture Magazine appeared an interview with decadent-looking Tallulah Bankhead (daughter of Alabama's onetime Representative William Brockman Bankhead). written by one Gladys Hall. Reported Miss Hall: "I am told that Tallul' is never decently hypocritical. . . . She reveals All- and more than...
