Browder entered the hall by a back entrance because 3,000 persons jammed the two front entrances. As he spoke the crowd outside raised a bedlam, shouting "Viva Hitler" and "Go back to Moscow." The Communist leader several times had to raise his voice to make himself heard inside...
...Viva Il Re! If Italy loses her fight to remain neutral, what side will she join in war? The Fascist regime's prestige was staked on the German alliance, and every doubt about that alliance indicates that the regime is slipping. Those with ears to the ground in Italy (and Signor Mussolini is one of them) know that the Italian people have always disliked the German alliance. There are more than 1,000,000 Italian World War veterans who fought against Germany. Throughout Italy there are monuments to the Italian dead of World War I. After more than...

Not a rich pageant of Central American guerrillas and gaiety like Viva Villa!, nor as searching a personal portrait as The Life of Emile Zola, it has moments as gay and as revealing as either. Actor Muni has never been so impressive as he is in outfacing an armed camp of rebels; Actress Davis' mad scene is real cinematic excitement. And for Warners' star...
