...diary Stanislaw tells of the story he is about to write based on his experiences as a war-prisoner in Turkestan. Page by page, as he writes it, it is sandwiched in between his journal entries. The same people appear in the diary as in the novel: Stanislaw, his wife Zosia, his friend Felix, Marusia, his Turkestan inamorata. In the diary you see Stanislaw's life as a government clerk, his evenings devoted to writing, his wife's attempts to make him a social celebrity, her flirtations to arouse his jealousy. The novel tells of two Austro-Polish...
Iron Man (Universal). Lewis ("Lew") Ayres, recently voted "King of the Movies" in a poll conducted by the newspaper with the largest circulation in the U. S.,? is hopelessly miscast as a light-heavyweight fighter in a fumbled version of W. R. Burnett's novel.

It is written in the first person by the murderer. Of "dangerous" Ruth Snyder (Grace Haxall in the book) Author Matthews makes the most: sends her eyes through the salesman (Todd Lorimer) at their first meeting, undresses her slowly, describes almost nothing except her effect on the salesman, brings up her fiercely female triumph in nakedness before the furnace where they are burning the evidence of their guilt...
...after persuasion away from The New Republic where he was a hardworking factotum. He lives in Princeton, N. J. with his wife Julie Cuyler Matthews and sons T. S. Jr. and John. Tennis is his game, A. E. Housman his poet, honesty in letters his main ambition. His first novel (145 pp.) is dedicated to Alfred Richard Orage, prophet in the U. S. of "The Harmonious Development...
