Edwina Booth who thrilled cinemaddicts of 1931 as the blonde goddess of Trader Horn reemerged in last week's news in strange contrast to the vigorous, vibrant creature the public remembered on the screen. She has been bedridden and confined to a dark room for two years, the result, she claims, of some tropical disease which she contracted while producing the picture in Africa. Would the courts, she pleaded, compel Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Trader Horn's producers, to give her $1,000,000 in a hurry so that she could get treatment in the School of Hygiene...
...serve as an all too fitting conclusion. Here is Miss Sears' eulogy of the slain Indian Metacom (King Philip): "Metacom--mighty warrior!--mighty patriot!--they could speak sneeringly of him now that he was lying dead in the mud, lie at whose name they had quailed when life was vibrant in him. They drag that kingly form through the mire and buffet it as nothing now but an old piece of clay! . . . . Where was that 'Great Cause' now?

S. sugar refiners broke out at a hearing of the commission on U. S. sugar marketing and accused vibrant Mr. Berle, acting as the Farm Adjustment Administration's counsel, of being "prejudiced in favor of refining interests in Cuba." Two days later President Roosevelt appointed Mr. Berle financial adviser to the U. S. Embassy in Cuba. He expected to spend a fortnight sizing up the Cuban Treasury and Cuban...
...what Indian public life was like before Ghandi appeared on the scene would rapidly see the shallowness of this epithet. Then the masses accepted their wretched fate in fatalistic apathy. Ghandi has infused into this "corpse" a new life, a now hope. It no longer "stinks," it is vibrant with a fresh vigor. Tagore ascribes the present now life in India largely to the dynamic influence of Ghandi. Nor can Ghandism be justly accused for the neglect of the genuine interests of the "proletariat." True, his following is drawn from all ranks of people, and there lies the strength...
