Some months ago in a Hollywood café, a prospector let Cinemactor Errol Flynn fondle a gold nugget, sold Flynn on the idea of spending $17,000 to send him in a specially purchased plane to Alaska to work the claim. Last week Hollywood heard what happened: 1) the gold mine was a fake; 2) the prospector had flown the coop; 3) the smashed plane had to be abandoned; 4) Alaska had a newly christened peak. Name: "Flynn's Folly...

Scoop, his latest, is Caldwell in character, Wodehouse in plot. Mrs. Algernon Stitch, to help her novelist friend.

...beloved Eskimo wife who died in 1920. An Eskimo to the marrow, he could not, like his sister Pipaluk, now 19, adapt himself to life in Denmark. When, on one of his visits to Enehoje, Mequsaq set fire to the estate just to see it burn, Freuchen decided to send him to Greenland for good. But although Mequsaq could not learn white men's ways, neither could he learn to be happy away from his father, who knew, each time they parted, that Mequsaq, for all his poker-faced Eskimo reticence, suffered the special heartbreak of an orphan...
