ENTERTAINING
MELODRAMA
"The Purple Heights," a Ro
mance for Those Who Like
1 Sentimdnt and Thrill
Mnric Conway Oemler knows how to
write nn entertaining ntory. She proved
this In "Slippery McGcc," nnd again In
"A Woman Named Smith." She lias
done It once more In "The Purple
Heights."
If there is nny situation in conven
tional melodrama which she has not
used In this new book then it was be
cause she did not need it. She begins
with n poor boy in the South, left nn
orphan by tho death of his widowed
mother. He Is the last of IiIh family, a
family of which he is proud with the
pride of his race. He fails to satisfy
his employers who hove given him n
chance to earn a living because of their
interest in his family, nnd on the very
day on which he Is discharged the god
in n machine appears. The machine is
a high-powered automobile and the god
is nn uncle whom every one supposed
had died long ago. He has made a for
tune out of a gold mine nnd n patent
medicine formula and he agrees to
make the boy heir to half his fortune
and pay his expenses while lie is study
ing art provided the boy would marry
the girl he picked out for him. Then
wc have the marringc and the separa
tion of the bride nnd groom within an
hour nnd their inutunl'hate. The book
ends yv'lth the mclndrnmntic meeting of
the two people after they have been
divorced. Each is uiinwnre of the iden
tity of the other. What happens is
what every writer of entertaining fic
tion would mnke happen to the delight
of those who are convinced that journeys
end in lovers' meeting.
Hctwccu the opening nnd the close
many exciting things hnppen. The war
is used and the hero, of course, is
wounded. Wc arc told of his experience
in England nnd of his nrtiHt's life in
Paris, but the local color is not verv
convincing. Mrs. Oemler, however, is
not to be too severely blamed for tlint.
She makes up for the lack of color in
her foreign scenes by the abundance of
it in the scenes in the South. Her de
scription of n night in a negro's cabin
on the edge of a swamp and what hap
pened when n negro bought protection
there from a posse of white men could
never hnve been written by one un
familiar with the life of the South. It
is not n great book, but it is just the
kind of n story which thousands of peo
ple like to rend.

ERNEST POOLE'S
SOCIAL STUDY
An American Novel of Modem
Life Done in the Broad
' Manner of H.G. Wells
Fortunately for tho pence of tli; read
ing public, there nro novel for nil
tastes and for nil moods. But unfor
tunately it BomctlmcB happens that when
one to in particular mood one chnncM
on a novel ndnptcu 10 a moon cnurny
different. Although It may be n per
fectly Rood novel of Its kind, no areti
ment could convlnco the render of it
who runs neross it nt the wrong time.
Wc make these platitudinous remarks ns
a preface to the statement that Ernest
l'ooles latest novel, "Jiunu, is not
for the reader when In the mood to be
relaxed by a story of the antics of
flappers or to be enmeshed In the tangles
of n mystery story. It Is n book to be
read only when one Is serious-mlndcd.
Mr. I'oolc's story Is autobiographical
In form and is told by a successful
dramatist who was blinded in the war.
It is n sort of n survey of the social
problems of America for the Inst quarter
of a century, culminating In the up
heaval not only in Americn uiu in
Europe, caused by the war. Mr. Poole
freely uses his own experiences in ew
York nnd in Europe ns the foundntlon
for whnt he has written, embroidering
it In such n way as to transform it Into
materials for fiction. His method re
minds one somewhat of that of II. O,
WclN, who delights In using a novel for
setting fortli ins social mens. im
tvnriilwlrin flnlil rnrprcil bv the book nec
essarily makes the narrative episodic
rnthen than continuous. It is n scries
of pictures, connected only because the
hero saw tnem nil or was in mem uu.
The title Is not Intended to be narrowly
descriptive of the stato of the hero.
There Is n suggestion in the book that
tho great mast of people Is blind to the
significance of whnt lias been nnd Is
going on. Wc nre in the process of
evolution, nccording to Mr. Inolc. V, lint
tho outcoino will be is hidden in the
future, but so long ns we move forwnru
slowly we shnll progress sure y to the
destined goal nnd the world will be bet
ter when wc rench It than It Is now.
There nre comedy nnd tragedy In the
book. The characters are real in spite
of the intention of the author to use
them ns puppets in n dramn of social
evolution. Although there nre two or
three love stories developed ns me iut
unwinds, It is not a book for tho -sJx-tccn-year-old
girl. Thoughtful men
nnd women will find it very much worth
rending.
FITZGERALD
One of the Most Promising
American Writers of Fiction .
of the Present Day
One of the most promising fiction
writers In America today is F. Scott
Fitzgerald, the young Princeton gradu
ate whose first novel. "This Side of
Pnrndlsc," wns welcomed by thousands
of readers, young nnd old. ns nn In
teresting nnd entertaining book. It wns
n book of youth written by n youth.
Its crudities nnd its immaturity were
part of its merits. Without them it
..n.ilil Imvn hpnn less real. Mr. Flt7.-
cerald s second book, n volume of short
BlOriCH CIMlltWU uuui-l ure win; , '"'.
pcrs nnd Philosophers," proves tlint lie.
enn do more than write about youth. He
writes of adults ami their problems ns
well ns he writes of the buoyancy and
bustle of the love-making of boys and
Mrls In their Inte teens nnd early twen-
tl..a Tho structure of his novel was
bad, but no one can teach him nn thing
about how to build n short story. "The
Offshore Pirnte," which Introduces the
volume, is u gem of romantic fooling. It
Ib told so well tlint even tho experienced
fiction reader will fall to foresee the
denouement. And the romnnce of it
will set every sentimental girl and youth
to drenmlng. In nn entirely different vein
is "The Cut Glass Howl," a tnle that
might hnve been written by Dc Mau
passant or Poo.
Mr. Fitzgerald, when be lenrns the
art of the novel as well as he has mas
tered the art of the short story, will
produce something worth while provided
he does not permit himself to be driven
into forcing himself to write faster than
he thinks.

Tales of Horror
Mnurice Level, a French physician,
amused himself in bis youth bv writing
weird nnd gruesome tales. They have
been fnmous in France for some years.
A group of them have lately been
translated Into English for the benefit of
those who like to harrow up their
feelings.
The first in the volume, well called
"Tales of Mystery nnd Horrors." is
tjplcal. It is about a bill collector in
Paris who had a reputation for honesty
and trustwoithlncss. When he was
asked why he did not run away some day
with the large sums which parsed
through his hands, he said thnt money
was no temptation to him. Hut one dnv
when he had several hundred thousand
frnncs he wrnnncd the money in a heavy '
J envelope nnd took It to a lawyer where,
lie explained inni uc woum line uie
pnekag') kvit until he called for it. He ,
gave an nssumed name nnd said thnt j
when he wished it he would come again.
Then lie went to his emplojers nnd le-
pnited that he had been robbed. His
htor was not believed nnd he wns tiled
and convicted. When ho had completed I
his sentenco ho had forgotten the name
lie had ghen to tho lawyer with whom
lie hnd left the money, so lie could not
carry out Ills plans to go into the coun
try nnd live a life of quiet generosity.
He sank lower nnd lower In his poverty
nnd finally threw himself Into the Heine. I
When he struck the water he remem- I
bercd tho nnmo nnd cnlled for help, but '
in vnin. Mr. Level writes with skill i
nnd develops his brief plots in a way
to biiug out nil their horror.
