After luncheon at Gore Hall on Monday, C. A. Coolidge '81, the architect, will explain the designs and plans of Lowell and Dunster House, after which the new houses will be inspected.

...Benson Murder Case (Paramount). This was the first mystery story S. S. Van Dine ever wrote. It is also the least interesting, an approach-none too assured-toward the method he developed in his later books. Paramount hack writers have made it better on the whole with the changes they introduce. Benson, who gets murdered, is a stockbroker. He has ruined several of his customers by selling them out in a market slump and each of the ruined traders has some other, private, reason for killing him. One evening they all meet at Benson's place in the country...
Live and Learn. Presented by Michael Kallesser-who wrote One Man's Woman, Trial Marriage, Marriage on Approval- Live and Learn is a thin little wisp of domestic dramaturgy.

...City of Dublin embroidered on the breast pocket; uses a large red pencil. Friends reread his manuscript to him, which he corrects many times. His proofs, too, surfer, even to the fifth or sixth revision. Domestic, shy, Joyce rarely leaves home except for the opera or to dine at the famed Trianon Restaurant. Poor most of his life, he is now subsidized by an anonymous Englishwoman. He dresses neatly, always wears green ties, sports heavy rings on his fingers, carries an ash-plant cane which he twirls and twirls. Timid, he fears dogs and thunderstorms, likes cats; a short "beard...
