DONOVAN'S BRAIN
(Allan Dowling) HIS little horror piece (grisly, but not the real MacAbre) is the rather revolting story of a medical research worker who unethically acquires a living human brain by removing it from a body legally dead. But Donovan, whose brain it is, was a ruthless tycoon, and his cortex — now com-. fortably sloshing round in a saline bath. and_ suitably stimulated by microvoltage -is even less inhibited. It establishés extra sensory control of the scientist, who takes to walking round glassy-eyed, like a fugitive from a Chas. Addams drawing. . + » But why labour the tale? The sixty-four dollar . question this crude quickie poses is why should one find Lew Ayres in it and the answer probably means a lot more to Mr, Ayres than that. .
