...Eamon de Valera caught only snatches of troubled sleep last week. Although his home, ''Springville," is but ten motor minutes from Government House in Dublin, President de Valera had a bed lugged into his office. Toiling and arguing with his Cabinet Ministers, Ireland's "Messiah of Freedom'' faced with haggard mien an invisible and potent foe: the collective opposition of very polite British statesmen throughout the Empire. London hurled at Dublin last week a terrifying silence, a lack of further protest against the two major platform promises on which President de Valera was elected: abolition of the Free State Deputies...

Soon he would go to Wahnfried ("Dream-Peace"), the villa Richard Wagner built at Bayreuth. There, as guest of Frau Winifred Wagner (widow of the late Siegfried and director of Bayreuth affairs), he was to begin rehearsals for the opening concert of the summer festival. Because his art demanded tranquillity, he wished no further discussion of the incident. But Italy was behind him; at last the world could view his case whole...
...nice old-fashioned love triangle consisting of two scientists and the girl for whose favor they are rivals. There is also one of the backers of the flight and the inventor of the rocket, an old professor who takes along his faithful companion, a caged mouse. Among the haggard caverns of the moon the backer of the party goes crazy and has to be shot. The professor discovers gold and is lost in a crevasse. The lovers stay behind to die on the wastes where nothing has ever died or been born before. Director Fritz Lang and his scientific colleagues...
