His first choice of subject was Candle Follows his Nose, short story by his one-time (New York World) colleague Columnist Heywood Broun. Last spring he announced that he had shelved Candle in favor of Street Scene (TIME, March 18), current Pulitzer-prizewinning play by Elmer Rice, about Manhattan tene- ment life. Last week he announced that he had again changed his mind, that he is now moulding a libretto from...
