A Boston movie critic at 17, .she was twice married, twice divorced. In the early '30s she moved into a flossy, Joseph Urban-designed Manhattan duplex apartment and settled down at a 15-ft. semicircular desk. But the Depression had left its mark on facile Writer Brush. She began to analyze her own brittle-youth-of-the-'20s stories, and her once glib pen slowed down and stalled. "When you start saying 'Why?' she explained, "it throws you."

Died. Rabbi Henry Cohen, 89, for 64 years spiritual leader of Galveston's Temple B'nai Israel, whom Woodrow Wilson called "the First Citizen of Texas"; in Houston. British-born Henry Cohen came to Galveston in 1888, soon became famous for scurrying through the streets and stopping to jot down on his long, white cuff ("my notebook") the names of those he must help, regardless of creed ("There is no such thing as Methodist mumps, Baptist domestic troubles, Presbyterian poverty or Catholic broken legs"). His interest in parole work was sparked by Author O. Henry, a onetime convict, and he became a leader in Texas prison reform. With a shotgun over his shoulder and a bottle of whiskey in his pocket, he led Galveston citizens in keeping order after the 1900 hurricane. Said a longtime friend and Texas judge: "If ever saber rattling passes from the earth, it will be because of the Henry Cohens."
