...Only well-known European language which even remotely resembles the difficult Magyar tongue is Finnish. Mainly for this reason, sentimental Hungarians consider the Finns "our northern cousins." Last week Hungarians were dismayed to hear of the Soviet invasion of Finland. At the same time fear of the Russians came nearer home with disturbing occurrences on their own Russian (recently Polish) frontier. Red Army soldiers, it was reported, fired on Hungarian sentries.

...Largo tells of King McCloud (well played by Muni), who deserts the Spanish Loyalists when he sees their cause "betrayed" and doomed, and his own patrol about to be annihilated. To him this is riot cowardice, but the common sense of disillusionment; to his companions it still seems better to die for an ideal than live without one. Afterwards, though still believing he was right, King is burdened with a sense of guilt. The play does not, however (after the fashion of Conrad's Lord Jim), trace out the psychological consequences of King's desertion; instead, it brings...
