By O. 0. M’iNTYRE. Since I have had a book of mine reviewed from coast to coast, I have the urge to review a few myself. The Job of book reviewer has always ap pealed to me. Most New York re viewers never go near the newspaper shops. They remain at home. The books are sent to them, they may read leisurely and mall their copy to the office. Most book reviewers I have found are kind and fair. In all the reviews I have received from dipping bureaus only two were un I suggest Elmer Davis's “I'll Show Tou the Town." Here la an author who knows how to Intermingle mystery and humor in a way that has never been done before. If any novelist has struck a new note in the past few years it is Davis. Hr is a newspaperman, by the way, and for several years was one of the young est editorial writers the New York Times ever had. Varying just a little from bonk reviewing, the recent passing of A. "What good does It do for a worm to turn* He's the same at both ends and on both sidds.” kind. One was hy a lady In Brook lyn, who said my book was “tin can material for morons." Another was written by a young fop of the Algon quin group, who used his column to vent personal animus for me. I had before in a magazine exposed the log rolling proclivities of tills group. It has been their custom to ballyhoo hooks and plays written hy their own circle. And not one has written anything that has caused a cosmic quiver. I think Isabel Paterson, who has Just completed the beautiful romance of war-tom Spain during the 14th > “ntury, has a great tome in "The . inging Season." It is colorful and a genuine recreation of a long past and fascinating era. It is becoming a best seller. Mrs. Paterson is a for mer newspaper! woman. She is bright, witty and cle\|er. It is told of her being invited to a smart tea. Among lhose present was one of those in sufferable bores who purrs platitudes. He said: "The worm will turn." "What good will it do a worm to turn?” asked Mrs. Paterson. "A worm is the same at either end and on both sides." How many people know that Zane flrey is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania dental department and prior to becoming a novelist was a painless dentist? About the only great writer who i. Trapped by Air Girls Lured to Tights and Such by Means of Air and Radio Startle Gotham v_ d By PERCY HAMMOND. Sew York, August 2. MR. EARL. CARROLL, the "Van ities" man, Is being denounced for having employed the radio to summon American girlhood to join his naughty ballets. It Is said that he has polluted the atmosphere with honeyed inducements, persuading the | foolish ingenues to leave home and mother for the precipices and mael stroms of the stage. Soft voices wafted from the micro phone have whispered to the. wean lings that they are fair and sought after. Inveigling was carried to the point, of offering them ffiS a week for the lease of their charms. Here, sang Mr. Carroll to the sophomore grads, here Is opportunity to exalt the drama lovers at a large remuneration. One hundred and sixteen fledgelings are reported to have, succumbed. The draco-la of the venture was one of Mr. Carorll's minions, a jtress agent. The innocents were exhorted to pre sent themselves at the stage door of Mr. Carroll's theater to be assayed by the referees of pulchritude. Within they were gauged according to the prevalent taste in symmetries, and it is noteworthy that the ankle was regarded as the most Important test. Manhattan beauty Is fixed, by this authority, as residing in the lower leg, just above the instep. Bibows, no matter how delicately pointed, and kneecaps, though bulging with bony seductiveness, were Ignored In the examination. . . . All of this, and more, I learn in a letter from Mr. Morris Gilbert, the Journalist, who keeps me aware of urban problems while 1 drowse unheeding upon "the odorous, amorous isle'-mf Nantucket. Mass. Mr. Gilbert commends Mr. Carroll's enterprise as beneficent, and com plains that those who devote their hours to sniffing the indecencies are dervish like in their exacerbation nbw’ that the ether Itself has suffused for them a prurient odor." He fears that measures are framing among the statesmen to put padlocks on the air whose billows have been murmuring the notes of the Lorelei. Overprud ent fathers of families discern fear fully that inimical voices issue from the loud speaker, and that the mega phone Is a maw inhaling the unwary maidenhood. There can be no burg lar alarms or bolted doors against the predatory sound waves, now more ef flclent titan licorice sth-Us or lollipops to wheedle the young ones into the kidnapers’ buggies. Better the dull flatulence of the ordinary radio pro gram, the homesteaders think, than the baleful, dulcet tinting of the dev il's lascivious pipes'. But, It Is predicted, there will be burglar alarms when the mercenaries of sanctity have their way. There will be cobwebs on the air Just as there are at the doors of many grot toes which used to dispense the boot leg nectars. There will be Yellowleya to penalize the ambient. And»rsons to barricade the skies. The censor ious will direct their unique sense for a time away from between the pages of the books that they fear mav not he clean and will close their nostrils to the debasing toxemlcs of cigarettes. A new mustiness In the winds will prevail. Now that the air has been revealed a.* a tempter, and until the angry pttrgers close It up, there are several dastardly uses to which It may yet he put. Where the net of the hunter snares maidens by Its breezy practices, young men also may soon be cap tured. The obvious progression is to Invite our Adolescent male youth lo dally In the theatrical trails. There are primroses there for them. no doubt, as well as for their sister. Other careers of reputed impropriety may beckon them. They r.dght In come journalists instead of clerk*, hodiernal critics in-dead of aodc jerkeri. The possibilities of spaces campaign of vice ao limitless, once legislatures sometimes act without precipitation. At tins moment Mr Carroll's en voys decry with sound .in 1 fury the accusation thaf the hullabaloo is mere presa agentry. They seined the traits miners, they aver, merely for the purpose of art and as ministers to the public betterment^ Broadway, they indicate, needs new e'fs to dis tract the visitors to '.he theatrical caverns. Thus improved, they think, Broadway would be even more per fect. It would be no presumption to urge the virtuous hilt mortified censors to attend of an afternoon at this season the fetes upon the more populous bathing strands. It would reveal to them tlie fact that prohibitions are not as strong as tile sun, and that modesty and the flesh have no in herent antagonism. The lusty school children as well as th»ir elders pre sent » picture compact of decency if not of allure. They broil and disport without prejudice, and the upshot Is not what the doubters descry. Sheltered, protected beauties, by the nay, are not the prevalent tidbit. Girlish hues are now most popular in two shades, a dusky un and a rosy crimson, from Nantucket's puritan littoral to the pagan sands of Dean vllle and Coney Island. Eor instance, there Is no longer a mandat* posted backstage against exposure to solar tattooing, and the fashion hat been set in Its favor by the young Eng lish ladies in the "Chariot Revue.” The languor* ot the shaded paths and tearoom* are not for the** distin guished chorus girl* so long a* the burning seas ere available at the end of a motor trip. Mothers whose trepidation Is ex treme Ijerause their daughters have been subjected to dreams of the stage through the aerial transmitter might do well to contrast the tonic pigment* of the extravaganza girls with the possibly mole fashionable pallor of the sewing room and the brokerage of fire. -,--■ : — ; The Advanced Six ^ Five-Passenger Touring | THE NEW ADVANCED SIX SERIES ^ b and b b THE NEW SPECIAL SIX SERIES § b 8 0 Striking New Body Designs ^ b New-type 4-Wheel Brakes, Nash Design b a Full Balloon Tires Standard Equipment
