Though the book was accepted, Bob's title, "Who Owns You?", was not. As yet, Bob writes, the book is untitled by Rinehart and Co. The publishers thought his title failed to imply mystery; "I guess they never read Unknown Worlds"" Bob says. ----- Suspense... Doors were unbarred, in Hollywood last week, for a certain fanne to see the man responsible for the recent fantasy anthologies 'Bar the Doors' and 'Suspense' -- Alfred Hitchcock. He also directed the adaptation of Francis Beeding's 'House of Dr. Edwardes', known on the screen as 'Spellbound'. Fanne reported herself spellbound in the presence of the mighty maestro of mystery. 'Physically', she reported, 'he gives Sydney Greenstreet a run for his avordupois.' The lucky fanne? We won't keep you in suspense any longer; it was, of course, TIGRINA, who won a trip to the Selznick Studios on the radio program, 'Hollywood Tour'. -- Forrest J Ackerman. ----- Arkham House Report from Derleth: 'Lost Worlds' out-of-print; 'Marginalia' is down to 60 copies; 'Sleep No More' only 125 copies left between AH and Rinehart. very close to o-p are 'Opener of the Way' and 'Something Near'. Plans: best works of Arthur J. burks are being collected. 'World of A' will be published in 1948; 'This Mortal Coil' to be distributed late in March, the first 1947 delivery; 'Dark of the Moon' will follow closely. Foreign reprints: England (Museum Press) to print 'Lurker at the Threshold' and 'Hounds of Tindalos'; 'West India Lights' is coming out in Spain. Spiked rumor: AH is not reprinting Lovecraft's 'The Outsider'. But AH will ultimately bring out 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward' and 'At the Mts of madness' under one cover, but just when even AH doesn't know. ----- A Hare Raising Film by Tigrina: Following the example of the 'Popeye' film cartoon of some weeks ago, a 'Bugs Bunny' film similar in caliber has been issued, with a Dracula-Frankenstein motif. Our hare-brained hero is lured, by means of a winsome mechanical girl bunny, into the lair of an evil scientist. The scientist's abode is a medieval castle, complete with a neon sign, flashing the words: 'Evil Scientist'. Once in the castle, Bugs Bunny soon perceives that the curvaceous decoy is mechanical. Bus is introduced to a huge hairy creature resembling a headless owl, and the chase ensues. Finally vanquishing the monster, Bugs winks, 'Aw right, so she's mechanical', and emulating her robot gait, he pursues the feminine decoy across the fading screen.
