Intellectuals of a Socialist or Communist stamp meanwhile in Paris made life miserable for Premier Lêon Blum who continued his harassed attempts to remain neutral. In French Communist circles it was said that Communist Deputies supporting the Socialist Premier's coalition or "Popular Front" had received orders from the Moscow Comintern that Barcelona, the great stronghold of Spanish Radicalism, "must be saved at any cost, even if it means French intervention in a form which would provoke war with Germany, and irrespective of the fate of Madrid?'

...Star for a Night" is an inconsequential bit about exaggerated filial devotion. Claire Trevor and Evelyn Venable, both rather neutral young women, pretend to be riding high so that their mother back in Austria will accept money to be spent to her blind eyes. When mamma comes to America the deception is a little harder, and then when she regains her sight there is the utmost consternation as to how to pull the wool over the freshly-cured-eyes.

...married Adolphe. Menjou, but then he was always drinking and reciting Shakespeare. Miss Faye is meant to be a personality girl in this picture, but she impresses us as being as pudgy and insipid as ever. The asininities of Ted Healy are a definite detraction; those of Gregory Ratoff, neutral. But Adolphe Menjou in his decay is proving himself more than a tailor's dummy: a genuine comic artist. His rendition of the simple, high-minded inebriate is perfect...
