Last week he popped up again with a novel, Mars in the House of Death, and an account of where he has been all this time. He quit Hollywood because: 1) doctors told him the pace would kill him shortly, 2) he felt he was getting in a rut. Well-heeled (he got about $125,000 a picture, plus 25% of profits), he bought Ciné studios in Nice, decided to travel. Until two years ago, when he settled in Mexico, he had lived in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, Spain, Egypt, learned Arabic, got 20 pieces of his own sculpture...
This year's senior received last week a unique phenomenon, an album which had replaced the usually ghastly attempts at facetious reminiscence with a serious interpretation of the past four years. The senior is glad to see this, glad the editors have escaped the rut of ordinary albums, or alba...

Last week, however, the No. 1 U. S. industry appeared ready to resume its leadership. With automobile production for the week jumping from 45,000 to 62,000 units (88,000 year ago), President Alfred P. Sloan Jr. of General Motors made front-page news across the nation and inspired a clever cartoon by announcing that G. M. was rehiring...
