...Dawson-Scott supplied the ghoulish plot in a novel named The Haunting. Scene is a village in Cornwall where Gale and his young sailor brother Pascoe quarrel over a hoard of gold hidden in an ancient chest. The beginning is gay with folk tunes. Villagers dance in the market place. Thereafter gloom prevails. Gale, for whom Leginska named her opera, murders his brother, hides the body in a cave near the sea, never succeeds in escaping its ghost...
...tongued Columnist Westbrook Pegler last week discovered the extraordinary French magazine named Crapouillot, devoted a cabled column to telling U. S. readers about one issue of it. Unique is Crapouillot in devoting each issue to a single subject. Because it reminded him of Humphrey Cobb's best-selling novel Paths of Glory (TIME, June 3), Columnist Pegler had been attracted by the August 1934 issue, which told the appalling stories of a few of the luckless French soldiers whose Wartime deaths by execution were aimed to teach their comrades proper respect for superior officers...
...Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and Mrs. Rockefeller on their way to view the Williamsburg Restoration's progress. Mr. and Mrs. Julian Street were in Williamsburg last week.

Covering the history of the Crockett family from 1830 to 1933, it is packed with data on U. S. shipping, describes in detail the fate of each of the many Crocketts...
...practically all Stevenson's works from "Virginibus Puerisque" to "An Apology for Idlers" are abundant. Particularly interesting is the complete manuscript of "David Balfour," written in the fine, legible hand of the author with his own corrections. The copy is remarkably clean. Stevenson, after changing the name of the novel to "Katriona" and then to "Catriona," finally sent it to the press with the latter title, though it is known today more by the original name than the other two. The first illustrated edition of "Treasure Island" is no less interesting than of "Kidnapped," which is dedicated to Stevenson...
