...Garbo's statuesque soul-struggles "The Painted Vell" is effective, but as film drama it's rather slow about getting things done and rather naively melodramatic. The Cambridge sophisticates should get quite a bit of fun laughing at the serious sequences, of which there are one or two really priceless ones.

This smoke-smudged cockpit of coal and ore, priceless in wartime, is a prize worth cheating for. On Jan. 13, 1935 Saarlanders who are over 20 years old and were Saarlanders on June 28, 1919 will vote to decide whether the Saar shall remain under League of Nations rule, unite with France or reunite with Germany. Last week the League's long-suffering Commissioner for the Saar, His Excellency Geoffrey Knox, totaled up the number of Saarlanders...
