When the four semifinalists teed off last week in the Professional Golfers' Association championship in Dayton, Ohio, the gallery fastened on two businesslike young-timers: lean Dow Finsterwald, 27, playing his first P.G.A., and chunky Lionel ("Frenchy") Hebert,* 29, who had never won a major tournament...

...ticketed as an American P. G. Wodehouse. His Mame-brained characters with their vestigial memories of wealth and lineage are certainly kin to those of the great master of total piffle. Tanner's trade is boom-escapism; the preferred temperature for hatching one of his books is a Dow-Jones average of 500 or better. Satisfied holders of Auntie Mame can look forward to a fat stock dividend, which Tanner expects to declare on next spring's publishing list. Auntie Mame is going to Europe, though she will scarcely be an innocent abroad. Tentative title: Around the World...
