Kolbe, Barlach, Lehmbruck are names as familiar to exhibition-goers as Maillol or Rodin. Lehmbruck, that strange, intense artist who committed suicide in 1919, is the creator of monumental figures, some calm and passive, others struggling against a malignant fate. Lehmbruck is essentially a worker in clay, a modeler, but with a rare sense of plastic form...
...Blum, regarded as the "logical" Premier-designate, since his Socialist Party is at the centre of the existing Left majority in the Chamber, indulged in day after day of desultory bargaining with all parties. Juridical experts of the French Foreign Office contributed to Paris' somewhat fantastic calm by gravely declaring that juridically there was nothing wrong about the German Army's entering Austria at the "invitation" of the Austrian Government. This was, they said, no violation of international law and it was "not invasion"-an opinion which sounded like the Wilhelmstrasse but was actually that of the Quai...

...concert will open with a Bach cantata, "Christ Lag in Todesbanden." From beginning to end, the themes in this work are all based on the soprano part in the final calm and triumphant choral.

The work is essentially dramatic; and Mlle. Boulanger's interpretation, though perhaps a bit too a la francaise, brings out the drama to the full...
General José Fidel Davila, Defense Minister in the new Rightist Cabinet (see p. 17), ended a fortnight of cautious inaction on the Teruel front, launched an offensive 25 miles north of Teruel which this week swept forward at least 18 miles. In the ominous calm which preceded this fresh blast in Spain's storm, Britain's lanky No. 1 commentator on military affairs, famed Captain Basil Henry Liddell Hart, leaned back in a London armchair last week, pondered, then wrote his professional opinion-thoughtful if iffy-on the next six months of Spain's civil...
