...Baldish, button-chinned Arthur Brisbane leads a quiet life consisting mostly of reading, writing and real estate. But lately he had an experience which moved him deeply. In the pantry of his house he came upon a mouse caught in a trap. Next day he made eight paragraphs out of the incident, some of the best he ever wrote, for his Hearst colyum. Arthur Brisbane's mouse story...
...this kind of humor. Wodehouse fans regard his lyrics for the Oh!-musicomedies (Oh, Boy, Oh, Lady, Lady! Oh, My Dear!) as best of their kind since the late Sir William Schwenk Gilbert's. Wodehouse once wrote five librettos at the same time, for shows that appeared simultaneously. Baldish, florid-faced, 49, he lives in London, but last spring visited the U. S., went to Holly-wood on a new departure: to write for the cinema.

...readers without some fellow-feeling. Hecht's dialog is nearer real life than most authors dare go. Ben Hecht was a small, dark, demoniac member of the Chicago literary circle that gave the U.

He has a prejudice against cinematization, but his famed Old English (with Actor George Arliss) at last went Hollywood. Baldish, white-haired, with lined, long face, honest eyes, he looks his type: the mental and moral bulldog. He has written more than 50 novels, books of essays, plays. Some of them: The Man of Property, The Patrician, The Dark Flower, To Let, The White Monkey; (plays): Justice, The Fugitive...
...News-Globe's 27,000 readers, breezy, baldish Editor Howe is "the people's friend," perhaps the most influential man in Amarillo. He specializes in such homely services as helping youngsters find their lost dogs and cats. He has bought "yoyo" tops for hundreds of Panhandle children. During last month's tree-sitting epidemic he gave money rewards to small boys who would come down from their perches, to safeguard their health. He revels in the nickname "Old Tack," derived from his daily irascible column "The Tactless Texan...
