Behind flights, arrests, rumors, was the fight of the Falange and the Army, a conflict older than the peace. During the war, General Franco merged 3,000,000 Falangists-extreme Fascists-and 800,000 Carlists-conservative monarchists-into the Falange Espanola Tradicionalista de los Jons, a top-heavy Fascist party modeled on those of Italy and Germany. Reorganized, cleaned out, it had 1,700,000 rank & file members and 20,000 "militant members" made up of Generalissimo Franco's general staff, commissioned and non-commissioned officers in his Army, hand-picked pro-Franco members of the Falange...

...ballet mecanique, led by blond and birdlike Mr. Dunham. Premiere of The Tiger Smiles was held in Princeton at the handsome new McCarter Theatre. Not since the old casino burned has Princeton had a Triangle first night. Cantankerous graduates may not think the show so funny as Espanola (1922), so tuneful as Drake's Drum (1924), so beautiful as Samarkand (1927) but it affords a large quantity of near-professional entertainment. On tour during the next two weeks, The Tiger Smiles may be viewed in Columbus, Chicago, Milwaukee. St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore...
