NEW YORK, July 4 —Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson returned yesterday aboard the S. S. Excalibur after eight months in the Belgian Congo, where they made sound pictures of animals and pygmies. They said thev were dis- satisfled with their roaring lions. Some of their jungle performers roared too close to the microphone. Others were standoffish. Two sound engineers spent many nights in the jungle ttying for the perfect roar without success. Accom- panying the explorer-authors was & small menagerie. Tremendous gorillas are destined for the Smithsonian In- stitution. Much of the Johnsons' time was spent making pictures of pygmies. They lived for several months in a native village of 500 liliputian blacks. “Two babies were born while we were there,” Mrs. Johnson related. “Until they are about 8 years old children of pygmies are nearly normal size.

LONDON (N.AN.A)—Two recently ublished novels have been proclaimed | y many of the critics as being great. One is “Hatter’s Castle” a grim and powertful Scottish story, 700 pages long, which has rapidly become a best seller. It was written by A. J. Cronin, a Scot doctor, 34 years old, who studied medi- | cine in Glasgow. and it is his first novel. | The second is the “Corn King and the Bpring Queen.” by Naomi Mitchison, faraway days ous kings and thelr female partners were bound up with the life of the seasons, and by whose ceremonial death and resurrection is typified and promoted the reaping and the springing of the corn. Mrs. Mitchizon is a sister of J. B. 8. Haldane, and one of the most ha: som= vivacious of our younger ‘women novelists. She has several chil- dren, is a convinced champion of her ®2x and hopes one day to write an “in- telligent woman's guide to feminism. (Copyright. 1931. by the North American Newspaper Alll-nu. Inc.)
