Holt.
Mysterious Marie's
Mawkish Melodrama
It laa customary for critics, for n
Ijood many cars let's see. It was
nbout30 that lfor first book, "A Honmnco
of Two Worlds " appeared to "elate,"
as she Is so fond of describing It, Marie
Corclll. In the dus of our childhood,
despite tho flippant contempt of levlow
era. wo remember bclntr thrilled by
"Ardath" and "Tho Sorrows of Satan,"
although. In rrmturer j earsr attempts to
read these popular works proved pain
fully tedious But then. In diyrKwhen
Anatolo Franco and Thomas Ilnrdy wcro
merely names, wo were thrilled also by
Irfiura Jean Llbbcv nnd Bertha SI Clay
Kow Miss Corclll has novcr, even by her
most unkind assailants, been classed with
Charles Garvlce, tho Laura Joan I.lbbe
of England, or with Miss I.lbbej, the Mr
Uarvlco of America.
In taking up Miss CorclU's latest novel,
"Innocent" (Doran, New York), there was
an expectant anticipation of Jcjuno Jojs
Despite the length of tho book I3S pages
wo ,bogan hopefully "Tho old by-road
went rambling down Into a dell of deep
Ercen shadow " Ah, moro bjgono mem
orlts of tho ernal opening of Miss
Clay's romance, "A Modest P.isslon " But
to go on "It was a roprobato of a road
a vagrant of tho Innd having long
ago wandered out of straight nnd oven
courses." Whereupon wo know having
learned symbolism of scenic oponings
from d'Annunzlo that "crooked things"
are Kolng to happen In this book
Innocent, the heroine, Has grown up
believing- herself old Farmer Joceljn's
daughter. Before he dies he tells Inno
cent tho truth. That, 18 jears before
"vVhcn thero camo on n sudden storm
Just a flash of lightning" a mjsteriotis
man appeared, leaving a baby at the
farm. Whereupon Oh, help mo, dad,"
Innocent said plteously; "It's not my
fault that I am what I am "
Desplto what she Is, Innocent goes to
London nnd writes a novel "Not an
ephemeral piece of fiction," says Miss
Corelll, "not a 'Wells' effort of Imagina
tion under hdraullc pressure, not an
hysterical outburst of sensual dcslro and
disappointment such us moves tho souls
of demlmondalues and dressmakers, not
