The book up for discussion last week was THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL. In talk ing ov^ the charming and declassee Mada^ie Vervier, I found myself a minority of one to seven in my contention that the moral lesson to hie learned from her apparently un scathed life was completely beside the point In discussing the book as a work of art. The majority urged that she should have come to a bad and remorseful end-, thus pointing out to all readers the evil of her ways. As a culminating shot under the belt they asked me with awful emphasis, “Would you want your boy or girl to read this book?” And my feeble protest that such a meas uring rod was not a fair criterion for judging adult literature, was lost in a chorus of, "Just wait 10 or 12 years and see how you feel about It then.” “What this coun try needs is for the young people to be brought back to God and the Bible.” “Every book should point the moral that the wages of sin Is death.” I couldn’t make myself heard there but what I feel strongly is that the sole moral question in volved is one of sincerity. If the author panders to cheap unnatural emotionalism, as for Instance, Con lngsby Dawson in his novels which have been appearing serially in Good Housekeeping; if he deliber ately creates a false world to make a best seller, his work is Immoral and degrading. If however, as in that very splendid book, A STORY TELLER’S STORY by Sherwood Anderson, he writes of life as he sees it, with its vulgarity, its illicit love, Its panorama of odd uncata logued characters, its baffled but persistent mystic yearning, then the book is beautiful and good. Am I right? Tell me what you think, Professor Hayes, Eva Kelly, C. H. p„ Mr. Black and all you others? The fundamental question of ethics and art ie up for debatel Honest Youth Henry James Forman's latest book, SUDDEN WEALTH (Bonl and Liverlght), Is a book that grows on one. Had I written this review some time ago, I would have called the book interesting but un defined. Now, with it having lain in my thought for a little while, I find Stephen and Very quite un forgettable. It Is they who stay In mind, rather than George Pollock slowly rotting away under the ma lignant curse of sudden and extreme wealth. My analytic eense tells me that in giving ue Laura, George’s wife, with her loud voice, her lust for possession, her frustrated moth erhood, the author has done his keenest character analysis. Minna, her sister, odd, half erased, w ho finally dwells In an aura of Buddh ism, elded by her charlatan young husband, is convincing, too. But nevertheless, Stephen and Vera, both so nearly wrecked by the chance touch of patronising wealth, are the ones that cling in memory. (I wish that somewhere Mr. Forman could have found potential tragedy for Vera other than the 11,000 loan from M. Duprey. He should be stalking as the grim villain on the Altruism. From the American Legion Weekly. It was the year 2024. The United States had just elected 1U first woman president.

She went to the aid of the dog and with one well-directed blow of a stick, killed the fox. boards of the ten, twenty, thlrt’ show of 25 years ago rather than between the leaves of this excellent book.) Stephen and Vera are allowed to think intelligently, and to be quite sincerely idealistic, a combination which many writers deny to the youth of today. To me, they ring rather truer than the legion hosts of inchoate flappers and their mas culine equivalents who pet, booze, and blaspheme their way through the sparkling pages of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his disciples. Why? THE CONFIDENCE MAN (D. Appleton and company), by Laurie Yorke Ersklne, who U a man, by the way, has one bright gleam. Thus is The Snake, a youth ot the underworld, described as he lets his chief, the Great Corvan, in on a smooth con game. "The Snake then spoke, assuming a remarkable grim ace, whereby It appeared that only that side of his face nearest Corvan was speaking; and ho further ex cluded the other side of his face by curving his hand across the middle of hts mouth and shutting it entirely from view.” Having seen that selfsame gesture so often in movies, vaudeville and detective dramas, I relished that graphic de scription. For the rest, the outcome of the plot, if such it rray be called, is apparent on the first page. After various adventures, besprin kled by slight missteps backward, Corvan, the slickest confidence man in this country, and The Snake “turn to the right” and, hand in hand with flawless and bright eyed Mar garet and ditto Jennie, respectively, seek the straight and narrow path of respectability, domesticity and love. The wonder always in my mind as I finish such an obvious dull affair as this book is not why the pub lisher accepted It, so much as how the author . could wade through the writing of it. We Highly Recommend Reviewed by C. H. P. If you were all alone in East Africa, trying to sleep on a flimsy woodshed, and suddenly heard a menacing roar of volume so great that the hollow night reverbrated with it, and presently the padded foot falls of a lion, and at last its heavy breathing—if this happened to you, how would you feel? Prob ably very much as Mr. Powys says he felt—"like a little nervous gray mouse!” This is the peculiar appeal which Llewellyn Powys’ BLACK LAUGHTER—gorgeous title—Har court.

Joins his brother in the Ugunda country in East Africa, and tells in a series of dis connected incidents of his dally life there.

William Fox comes In to breakfast, and to moralize about the rapid growth of anything that Americana take up In earnest. In 1904 he entered the moving pic ture world, in a small way—the only way, for It was then a very small world. Twenty one years ago, the biggest moving picture ever made contained about 825 feet of film. It took three complete stories to eat up 1,000 feel of film. The “show” lasted 13 or 14 minutes. A little earlier, in New York's Eden musee, where works of famous murderers, presidents, et<* delighted the crowd, the management amazed the publlo with a moving picture film 60 feet long. It Bhowed a tree with the leaves actually blow ing in the wind. The public decided, however, that It was a “fake" like “AJeeh tho Chess Automaton” and that they rattled the screen to make tihe leaves move. Next came a mag. niflcent, astounding film 100 fee$ long, showing ocean waves rolling In on the beach. The public was over whelmed with amazement. In those days the regular price paid the author of a moving picture story was $50. The producers felt that was enough, the industry could not stand more. Nerw you couldn’t buy a pic ture like “Ben Hur” for $1,000,000,. And to pay $150,000 or $200,000 for the rlgfat story is considered nothing. Twenty one years ago, about 250, 000 people went once a week to the moving pictures. The price of ad mission was usually five cents. Now between 17,000,000 and 22,000,000 go to see the moving pictures regularly, and the prices run up to $3 a seat. Enterprises grow rapidly In the United States when people become really Interested. Have you noticed the persistent propaganda about Japan’s aircraft situation? One gentleman a foreign er, assures you that. Japan Is realty not Interested In flying machines. She hasn’t 17 factories building them, only five factories. Another Individual, also foreign, announces that Japan Is not good at flying. In fact for every airplane she builds, another airplane "crashes,” destroying its crew. That seems Just like Japan, quite In keeping with her traditional Ineffi ciency, to build machines and break them as fast as built. A third Individual, Inspired and "well Informed” tells you that while Japan immediately after the war hired the best French and English filers to teach young Japan to fly, that was all theoretical work. Tho Japanese really don't mean to taka up flying In any big, practical way. Nobody accuses Japan of planning an attack on this, or any other parti cular country. An attack on the United Slates in Its present defense less condition might gratify the at tackers for a little while. Many American individuals and cities could easily be wiped out by a small flying fleet. But in the long run such an attack wouldn’t pay. All Gone. From the Pitt Panther.
