FAMED EXILE, THOMAS MANN, TALKS TONIGHT

Thomas Mann. world-famous novelist and essayist, will give an informal lecture tonight in the Lowell House Tower room at a meeting of the German Club at 9 o'clock. The meeting will be open only to members of the club.

Perhaps the best known of the many eminent German scholars who have come to the United States as political exiles, Dr. Mann was forced to leave his native land, in the summer of 1933. shortly after Hitler's rise to power. His unpopularity with the Nazis was attributed both to his open dislike for political dictatorship and to the fact that he is married to a German Jewess.

His best known books are "Joseph in Egypt," a monumental work as yet only partially written, and "The Magic Mountain," the novel which was instrumental in winning for its author the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. Of his other writings "Tonio Kreeger" and "Buddenbrooks" are the best known in America.

Dr. Mann has taken out his first citizenship papers in the United States.
