...lump sum of $25,000. To whom it went the paper did not say, but many British fingers pointed privately to fuzzy-chinned Haj Amin el Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and president of the Arab Supreme Council.

Muscular William Dollar, a native of St. Louis, leaped into the picture as Amor (Love), wearing white tights and great white wings. Dancer Dollar's function was to lead Dancer Christensen to the entrance of Hades, a giant cage contraption which housed furies and scarlet demons who proved no more terrifying than Punch & Judy puppets...
...Alvin Johnson (TIME, April 20), another economist takes to fiction, offering a case study of a bright young lawyer who chooses political success at the cost of his ideals. Professor France holds his own in following the slimy trail of corruption, slips into a bog of cliches in his love scenes. DEATH IS A LITTLE MAN-Minnie Hite Moody-Julian Messner ($2.50). Depressing description of the private lives of some Georgia Negroes, written in an un-nerving combination of literate English and darky dialect. A CRIME-Georges Bernanos-Dutton ($2). Consisting largely of jerky conversation, liberally peppered with dots...
