     PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHING

   "Fox Woman," the A Merritt tale completed by Hannes Bok, should appear during Dec. Bok says that Merritt's other unfinished story, "Black Wheel" was turned down by Mary Gnaedinger of FFM because of racy dialogue, not situation.
   The Nov issue of OPEN ROAD FOR BOYS contains "Sydney the Scientist," a humorous stf story.
   WESTERN FAMILY, with a circulation of over 400,000, has devoted most of a column to Charles McNutt and his visit to Fritz Lang to present a petition asking him to arrange a special showing of "Metropolis." It mentions fandom and states that Lang was unable to arrange the showing because he had no print of the picture. The article appeared in the issue for 21 Nov. Before its publication, Forry Ackerman had arranged for a private showing in LA which was mentioned in STEFNEWS #68.
