Died. Ruth Hale, 48, writer, onetime wife of Columnist Heywood Broun, president of the Lucy Stone League; of acidosis; in Manhattan. A vigorous feminist, she managed to have her U. S. passport read "Miss Ruth Hale" instead of "Mrs. Heywood Broun," although she was married to the columnist at the time. Friends considered her subsequent amicable divorce from Mr. Broun (TIME, Jan. 29) simply a romantic gesture to establish their individualities...
Thus last week wrote Columnist Heywood Broun of Raymond Mathewson Hood who at 40 was penniless and obscure and who, when he died of arthritis last week at 53, was as famed as any architect in the U.

It was loosely assembled from Ben Hecht and Gene Fowler's loose play, The Great Magoo, and named after "a revue produced by Heywood Broun two years ago. Retold is the familiar narrative about a young actress who makes good and her overconfident lover, a sidewalk concessionaire named Nicky Nelson (Jack Oakie), who absents himself during" the middle of the story to facilitate her career. Best song: "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming." Best joke: the reply of Nicky...
Race feeling ran sufficiently high in one judicial district to defeat Judge James E. Horton for renomination. Last year Judge Horton gained nation-wide fame by setting aside on grounds of insufficient evidence the death verdict rendered in his court against Negro Heywood Patterson, one of the "Scottsboro Boys...
