"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

In Milan the contents of Gabriele d'Annunzio's new book entitled One Hundred and a Hundred and a Hundred and a Hundred Pages of the Secret of Gabriele d'Annunzio, Who Is Now Tempted to Die, were revealed: 1) introduction by

"Angelo Codes" (d'Annunzio); 2) autobiographic sketches, each ending with an episode in which he has contemplated suicide; 3) his "Secret Book," a philosophical listing of numerous nocturnal notes in which he reveals himself with frankness.

Introduced for the first time to Mickey Mouse at a private showing of Walt Disney's The Band Concert in London, Arturo Toscanini exclaimed, "Surely it is impossible! It is magnificent!", had the film run over again. Hearing that Cine-man Disney planned a European tour, Conductor Toscanini announced: "I shall invite him to my Italian home at Lake Maggiore. Si, si, I shall insist!"

As a receiver, Editor Raymond Moley was presented with a bust of himself by the management for having operated Manhattan's Hotel St. Regis for a year at a profit. Asked if the cocktail lounge were responsible for having turned the St. Regis' ledgers from red to black, the one-time Brain Truster replied: "Lincoln once sold liquor in his general store, but I think my establishment is much classier." With a $5,000,000 mortgage on the property, Mr. Moley's good friend Vincent Astor year ago threw the St. Regis into receivership (TIME, June 18, 1934), last week bought it at auction for $5,090,000.

Mrs. James Roosevelt, 80, mother of the President, resigned her honorary vice-presidency of the Motion Picture Re-search Council. Her reason: "I'm much too busy and too old to do anything."
