MAX BEERBOHM DRAWS MASEFIELD
Tho nbovc is an excellent example, so far as newspnper reproduction

Booth Tarkington at
His Best in "The Turmoil"
There ought to be a law protecting nov
elists from their publishers' advertise
ments. Day by day U Is becoming harder
to llnd a book which has not been ex
travagantly and superlatively all-liallea
by some one or other Dny by da the
reader's distaste for "the best novel of
tho generation" grows deeper. Thero
ought to be a law!
It would operate greatlv to the advan
tage of Booth Tarkington. whose latest
novel. "The Turmoil," Is being stupidly
overpraised by the advertisements of
Harper &. Brothers, publishers. Desplto
tho quotation on the Jacket, tho reviewer
Is freo to say that more beautiful stoileB
of young love have been conceived Tho
nttempt to pass this novel off as a vital
and stirring and really significant Ameri-
l.can work Is absurd.
The worst of It Is that Mr Tarkington
has written a splendidly interesting novel,
dealing openly, If a llttlo superficially,
with American life. The story of the
young man who has tho misfortune of
being a poet In a. family of business men.
and of his triumph In love and in life Is
told with a straightforward visor and
with a conversational reality which Is
truly remarkable. The characters nro not
profoundly studied, but they are plausibly
and entertainingly set forth. The book
goes! And filling the spare places, thero
are a few glimpses of tho harshness and
tho crudity and the downright ugliness of
urban existence which make one wonder
why Mr. Tarkington doesn't go on and
write a real novel. Technically he is ap
proaching the masterly equipment of nob
ert W, Chambers; he has deeper Insight,
an Ingratiating manner nml nt times he
hits upon Ideas sufficiently Impressive and
appealing to make his novels worth while.
Meanwhile he has written a good tale.
So It Is something of a mystery why he
shouldn't be given credit for that Instend
of being asked to carry the mantle and
the sword of greatness His shoulders
aren't quite broad enough for them.
The German With
a British Wife
In Rudolph Stratz's "His English Wife,"
translated Into English by A. C Curtis
(Longmans, Green & Co., New York), a
German writer employs a novel of rather
commonplace plot as the vehicle of ex
pression of his estimates of the English
and the German character. As might
be expected, the writer is disposed to
give the English somewhat the worst of
it, representing England with extreme
types of prigs and snobs and arrogant
money grabbers for the most part, thougn
he doea not spare Germany. Helmut
Merker, the principal male character, Is
far from a hero. "Every one all over
the world ought to conform with British
customs," tha author makes one char
acter say. Evidently It Is his view that
this Is representative of most Britons.
Helmut Merker marries a cousin, a
fourth of whose blood Is German. As

Chesterton on the Teuton
While the Germans dwell monotonously
on Kultur, Destiny an$ Necessity In
trlpte-llnked logic, the tinnllah character
istically bring forward a thousand de
fenses as morally salubrious and as na
tionally advantageous as the violated
neutrality of Uelgluni, And of all the di
versity, It Is Ir.Uurally O K Chesterton
who Is most diverse.
In Us varied vltupetatlon. "The Appetite
of Tyranny" (Dortd, Mead A Co.. N. T ),
runs all the way from calling the Prus
sian mad lo constructing tiulte a plaUslbto
historical case for wrath over the viola
tion of llelglum. Forgetting the Bource
of the gi cater part of nineteenth century
music and philosophy, he calls Germany
sccond-i ato. Never thinking of construct
ing a John Bull In his own Inelegant and
ample Imago as all the rest of the world
does he figures the Teuton ns an "en
ormous turnip-face." He writes: "We
do not bellow nlaht and day to call at
tention to our own stern silence," hut
he forgets to mention what he would call
I tne ternnie violence with which a Ger
man listens From a single rase of n
I historian who tries to prove Mlchnlan-
! gelo n Teuton, he constructs a wholo na
tion of historic baby-snatchers Hut hc
would surely be spiritually outraged If
nny German constructed a nation of sen
timental nrglasts out of his own account
of Michelangelo' "Tho tlnrk heait of
the Rtorm was Indeed more astral and
oleanle, a noise of thunderous wings
and the name of Michael the Archangel "

final word-Juggling lo discover Chester

But such are, after all, onlj the Ches

"The theme of the book is one that is vitally interest

for it teaches that the woman who has erred can come
back if she desires to, and build a new, clear life on
the wrecks of her old existence. It is a notable book,
and if it is a first book, I think a new star has risen in
