...Lynne (Fox). Mrs. Henry Wood wrote East Lynne in 1861. For 20 years after that it was regarded as a supreme creation. Now someone in the Fox script department has detected that East Lynne is more than a dramatic critic's joke.

G., who once sat at his feet, has since penned some interesting observations of her former master. Wells's attitude to his profession is hardboiled, so sensible you wonder if he can really mean it. Says he: "I have never taken any great pains about writing. I am outside the hierarchy of conscious and deliberate writers altogether. . . . Sir J. C.
