...MARTIXO & OTHER STORIES-William Faulkner-Smith & Haas ($2.50). Successful authors rarely make the mistake of writing too much. Ernest Hemingway, whom unfriendly critics call a careerist, has yet to write an obvious potboiler. F. Scott Fitzgerald has schooled his readers to make a distinction between his sacred and profane work (TIME. April 16). After Sanctuary, the macabre literary sensation of 1931, William Faulkner's first editions became collectors' items. But last week, with the publication of his Dr. Martino & Other Stories, it began to look as though Author Faulkner's market might soon reach saturation point...
...Departmental Examination will begin at 9.15. The blue-books will be distributed at that hour. The papers, however, will be distributed at 9 o'clock to those present.

Whatever may be the attitude next year of the authorities toward revising probation and attendance at classes, it is to be hoped that restrictions of no obvious value around vacation and holiday times will be relegated to the scrap-heap...
...decision accords with the moral standards of the fifth century B.C. and of the twentieth century A.D. its nature is obvious: for the play is based upon ideas taken from several Greek myths, those concerning the Argonauts' adventures and the life of Persephone. Thus it is mainly a modern symbolic expression of age-firm Greek ideas analogous to those contained in the "Medea" of Euripides. President Comstock's objection passes over the expression and concerns the characters themselves, so that it must rest ultimately upon the Greek sources of the play...
...treatment of the movie differs from the play only in one important respect. Where on the stage it was a sparkling uncut gem, on the screen the edges have been nicely polished off, but the lustre has lost a little of its brilliance. This is most obvious in the difference between the interpretations of Alexander Kirkland and Clark Gable of the young interne, Dr. Ferguson. It was through the shoddy places in Kirkland's portrayal that the sincerity of his performance stood out. Gable brings to the movies a capable, even performance, but seems to lose a little of that...
