Bull's-eye No. 1 was Stanley and Livingstone (Twentieth Century-Fox), a $2,200,000 version of what the New York Herald's James Gordon Bennett Jr. regarded as the greatest news story of all time: the search for vanished British Missionary David Livingstone by the Floyd Gibbons of his age, Mr. Bennett's Henry Morton Stanley. To make the film, Producer Darryl Zanuck sent Mrs. Osa Johnson and a crew of technicians and extras to Africa for six months, had them assemble an authentic, awe-inspiring record of a savage country and people that would...
...British bull's-eye is Four Feathers (United Artists-Alexander Korda), memorializing one of the most bullish turns British imperialism ever took: the gaudy slaughter at Omdurman with which Horatio Herbert Kitchener in 1898 avenged the massacre of General Gordon and the British garrison at Khartum, 13 years before. For Four Feathers Hungarian Alexander Korda, the Union Jack's most industrious cinematic flagwaver, sent his director-brother, Zoltan, and practically his entire cast to the Sudan, where they stumbled over some of the actual shells Kitchener had left behind, tottered in temperatures of 120° in the breeze...

Last year, he published the first patient's-eye-view account of a brain operation in medical history. This week the English translation of Karinthy's remarkable book appeared...
...Mexico there has long been, if not a persecution, a very cramping restriction of Roman Catholics. Priests are forbidden by law to wear clerical garb outside their houses and their churches, and the cassock has not been seen in the streets of most Mexican states for many years. An eye opener for U. S. adepts of "selective indignation"* was a photograph circulated last week. It showed a group of Mexican and U. S. prelates, gathered in the patio of the home of Mexico's Archbishop Luis M. Martinez. He and the Archbishop of Morelia wore their soutanes because, presumably...
