...same day Poland's walrus-mustached de facto Dictator, Marshal Josef Pilsudski, benignly approved a treaty signed in Berlin by Polish Ambassador Josef Lipski and German Foreign Minister Baron Constantin von Neurath. If ratified and observed in good faith by both nations, this new ten-year non-aggression pact ends for that period the possibility of war over the "Polish Corridor Question." It pledges Germany and Poland for the next decade "under no circumstances" to "proceed to the application of force," to settle mutual disputes...

For more than two years the Pilsudski Colonels have been drafting Poland's new Constitution, recognizing that Marshal Pilsudski cannot live forever, that Poland cannot always be ruled by an eccentric Dictator who insists on being...
...prize role was given to a pretty round-faced 17-year-old girl from Brooklyn, N. Y. named Charlotte Henry. The direction of the picture was assigned to Norman McLeod (Horsefeathers, If I Had a Million) and real actors were engaged for all parts except those of the Walrus, the Carpenter and the Oysters. Two days after Miss Henry got her contract, the picture started in the Victorian drawing room where Alice is lolling in an embroidered armchair and chatting to her cat about the enchanted room which she is sure exists on the other side of the fireplace mirror...
