He's just finished disposing of four guys, but nobody minds much because they weren't any good anyway. The law never bothers him, because he confines his shootings, hangings, knifings, dynamiting and the like to pictures. Which gives him freedom to just go along thinking up new and better homicides. Florey is big- soft-spoken, mild-mannered and easy going. He is hardly the type you would associate with "Frankenstein." Yet he wrote and directed that murderous masterpiece.

He has directed 20 other horror films, too. since he came here ALENCIA GARDEN C1 811 GR. CENTRAL Fine Spanish Food iy rri 1 "VI Liquor Cocktails Ph.

The quartet he eliminates in his risked the retirement necessary to motherhood. Deaths, as usual, outranked births. Heaviest loss was among male character actors and writers.

Notable was the absence of any of the bitter divorce suits which in years past have provided juicy conversation across the cocktail tables. Even the finale of John Barrymore's famous and hectic "Ariel, and Calaban" romance with Elaine Barrie brought no sensations. Many were the prominents whose names went on divorce court records. Several brought years of separation to an end such as Ginger Rogers' from Lew Ayres, Alice Faye's from Tony "Martin, Constance Bennett's from the Marquis de La Falaise de la Coudraye, Luise Rainer's from Clifford Odets. British Couples Divorced Laurence Olivier's divorce by Jill Esmond and Vivien Leigh's by Herbert Leigh Holman paved the way for their long-expected wedding.
