certainly succrsnfitl married life. Their
recorder lias finished and liuhllshed the
last of his trlloKy on those Flvo Town

rest, It Is published by George It. Dornii,
of New York N'eedles to n.iy. It miikes
excellent reading for the Hennettlte. the
lovers of hard, firm observation and satire
And It Is Just as Interesting to those wliei
caro for one more Mine at the eternal
inuile of prosale married life Those two
'angles make the north of "These Twain."
Its story Is an uneventful finishing off
of tho careers of Auntie llnmps and
Georgo Cnnnon, ono more addition to the
, amusing nnccdotago that surrounds the
minor figures of "C'layhanger" and "Hilda
I tesaways." nnd finally the lemrdlng of u

, rebellions, compromises and rcroni'llii

1 Hilda, Wife.
The Manchester quality of observation
nnd satire, which Is so little appreciated
ns typically Ungtlsh, mukes the book a
delight to tho leisurely American reader.
, But behind It he finds his chief pleasure
ln the picturing of that ctTiuil conlllct
I of enrly married life which comes to
couples llko ClayliuliKcr and Hilda, In
I whom understanding Is born very slowly
After disillusion.
The woman takes marriage as a safe
retiring from the dangers of the woild,
land Insists on guiding her husband's
career awnv fioni any risks that may
'throw her Into tragic "Independence"
ngaln, tho husband wants to find In his
' wife tho "comforting, straightforward
characteristics" of the male, but expects
I her to bo the silent partner. The bus
' band writhes In rebellion ut living with
, nil "opportunist": the wife lenllsies her
economic mibjectlun and bitterly resents
her Indisposition to revolt. And the
, reconciliation, for so many jcars, Is the
eternal reconciliation of this eternal con
lllct her kiss, "u high, bold gesture,"
drawing his life out of him and pouring
hcrg In, proving that theio Is no difference,
between love and hale, containing every
thing, surrender, defiance, anger and ten
derness. And yet It Is a reconciliation each
time sundered anew. Only at the last
comes a hint of some sollder foundation
than tho high passion of love which has
endured so long It Is the realization on
Clayhangor's part that he must yield tho
things ha has withheld dictation, for In
stance, over such common affairs as tho
building of country houses and that he
must yield them In spile of the "Injustice"
of her asserting her own Individuality.
Indeed, he can see that without this in
justice there would be no merit In his sur
render. It makes a curious and thought
giving close to a curious and thought-giv
ing book.
The Dramatic Museum of Columbia
University has published u moio scholarly
net of books In four little monographs on
the actor's art. Their titles speak for
them: "The Art of tho Actor," by Con
stant CoqueI!n, with an Introduction by
Henry James; "The Illusion of the First
Time In Acting," by William (illlette, with
as' Introduction by (Jeorgc Arllss; two
papers on Mrs. Slddons, by H. C. Deeming
Jenkins, nnd Talma's "Itellectlons on Act
ing," with an Introduction by Henry
Irving. No actor and no student of acting
should omit these from his library.
Little, Brown & Co., of Boston, have
done tho American playgoer a real serv
ice by bringing together 12 of Clile
Fitch's best plays In a memorial edition.
The four volumes should show many a
forgetful person the really fine virtues
of Fitch as Impressionist, critic and some
thing more. The plas plumb all his mnny
moods from "Captain Jinks" anil "Her
Own Way" lo "The Cltj" and "The
Truth."
The Drama League series, that excellent
proup of plays from Doubleday, I'ago
& Co., of Garden City, L. I., which
acknowledges In its tltlo the bourco of
much of tho current Interest In printed
drama, has had four adltlons to Its list
since the Evenino I.edueii first com
mented on Its excellence. Ono is Hem
stein's "The Thief." effective, gripping, by
reason of Its technical trickery, but un
deniably holding a. rightful placo In the
library of the student of dramaturgy. In
quite another gallery Is Hervleu'a trench
ant masterpiece "The Trail of the,
Torch," Englund contributes "My Lady's
Dress," by Edward Knoblauch, author of
"Marle-Odlle." It Is technical, very Inter
esting because of the manner In which It
compiles a drama 'on fashionable dress
making out of six one-act plays America's
share Is one of our few good light com
edies, Thompson Buchanan's "A Woman's
"Way," acted some toven years ago by
Grace George and Frank Worthing. Each
voluma carries an Introduction by some
critical hand.
The same firm has Just Issued a couple
or volumes aimed directly ut the student.
They are "The Masterpieces of Modern
Drama," edited by John A. I'ierce and
Drander Mathews, and they contain some
60 of the modern world's most noted
plays, presented by means of synopses
linking excerpts of varying lengths. They
are handled so satisfying as the printed
plays themselves; but they should be use
ful for the man who wants to get a wide
view as easily as may be. But why In
clude Do Mllle's "Strongheart" and leave
out "Salvation Nell"?
Virginia, out of whoso ken swam

philosophy are apparent to those who
have found pleasure In both Ills pre

bit of latitude not permitted to the formal
essayist, through tho device of having a
spokesman for Ids opinions: These will bo
of general Interest to the casual render,
but oven inoro so to the literary crafts

or better than accept the publisher's valua
tion of n book. It Is "The Alibi," by
tleorgn Allan tJnglnnd, hitherto known
chiefly as n Socialist writer, fjninll, Mny

It's a thriller a good old halr-rals-log

In "Keeping Physically Fit" (The Moc
millaii Company, New York) W. ,t. Oromle,
Instructor In physical education nt the tTnl
crslty of I'ennsylvnnln, offers prnctlrnl nd
vice to business and professional men. Tho
book contains a routine of common-sene

The writer who conceals her Identity
under the mini do plume of "Hlla" (.Mrs.
W. ticHiiioud Iluniphieys) lias written an
attinctlve love story, called "Tho Iron

This Is n romance of Dartmoor, but not

town. His friendship for a alet and his
laste for questing Into the unusual knot
him in a complex situation, In which he
finds himself facing a pui"ccution for a
serious cilmlnal offense. Tho valet Is a
well-diawn charactcilztitloii of a chap
who had "done his lilt." He Is un ac
complished forger In addition to other ac
complishment, such us caring for a gen

is the piesumptlve heir to n new peerdom.
He Is eager for new sensations He finds
one In a police court under the tutelage of
tils "fldus Achates." the delightful gentle
man's gentleman. Aubrey, the despair of
his proper brother, Is entangled likewise
in a Cupids bow. How both are uncom
plicated love nnd danger Is told In a
book that keeps tho reader agog fiom

sullen prison walls In the telling.
A girl of charm, an Innocent convict, si

quotations Is found In the chapter head
ings, which are made with distinct appiu
prlnteness from Wilde's "Ballad of Head
ing Gaol."
"Father Payne" (G. P. Putnam's Sons,
New York), despite the Implication In tho
title, is not ono of the now frequently ap
pearing Human Catholic novels. The title
character Is not a priest, but a lovable,
quaint layman, who Is the autocratic chief
of an English literary colony. In a de
lightful house In picturesque Norfolk this
brotherhood of writers fulfils the precept
of "Nulla die sine linen," under tho In
spiration of the director.
"Father Pnyno" is not a novel, though
there Is n slight framework of fiction on
which to append tho Impressions and theo
ries of literatuio and lifts of tho anony
mous author. From Internal evidence it
is obvious that he Is none other than

see the trial. The young actress has
spent her entire life In tho warm climate
of California nnd rcnlly never saw Ice

of walking on Ico was In Itself n thrilling
one to her nnd the additional opportunity
Of wearing skates nppenlcd to her. She
came to Chicago Just ns that city was
faintly responding to tho Ico craze sweep

mnny of tho best restaurants have skat

Now nil she needs Is practice, which she
Is getting at jjvery opportunity.
Constniico Collier, tho Morosco-Pnra-
mount star, met with an accident at the
studios when n three-Inch oak counter
fell on her hand. The only thing that
saved hop hnnrl from helmr smashed to B
pulp was tho nnrrow space between the
ledge nnd the falling top. Although her
hnnd was painfully hurt nnd became bad
ly discolored, Miss Collier retained com
plete self-possession and did not make
any display of feeling. Not so, however,
with the switchboard operator, who bo
camo grcntly excited and shouted wildly
for help.
Wilbur II. Uurborough, who took the

since Monday. In the first place, Mr.
Uurborough Is a native of Philadelphia,

member of tho staff of n Philadelphia
morning paper. Although every newspa
per In town has praised his pictures sluco
tho opening Monday, tho only one which
bus carefully uvoldcd mentioning tho

he was once n salaried employe!

took the German war pictures, nnd which
was shipped from Chicago last week, has
