T the Readers of the Ltd girt
So strange and priceless a
commodity is a book that for
.,, tha shrewdest of adver
tising men who have waged
huge publicity campaigns on
"Shoes and Ships" or "Sealing
wax," even on "Kings," have
been at a loss to discover a way
to promote the habit of read
ing. We, too, are bewildered,
but of one thing we arc sure
the readers of tho Philadelphia
Ledger cannot care greatly for
the usual book notices, which
are often as monotonous and
informing as those cards in
country newspapers which give
the name and address and
hours of the local doctor and
dentist and lawyer. At least,
they have little moro of allure.
Our humble endeavor there
fore will be to give you each
week little intimate glimpses
or close-ups of our new books
in a chatty and not too serious
way, through the informal
rtinnnol of this column. We are
hoping that you will take to it,
that you will like this simplest
of methods, and also that you
will tell us whenever you think
we fail in our purpose We will
welcome complaints as quickly
and eagerly as commendations.
I..
It is fortunate that wo arc ablo
to launch this column with a new
and remarkable book,
The Mirror of Downing Street
($2.50)
To bo precise, it
lias been out a few
weeks and has had a
deservedly wide cir
culation in that
short period, tho
fourth edition being
now on tho presses.
This extraordinary
work has a brilliant
ly clear style and
gives Intimate, re
vealing pictures of
famous history
makers of our time.
Lloyd George, Asquith, Balfour,
Churchill, Northcliflfe and the famous
men it so strikingly portrays are
quite busy just now arranging
things in Europe for Europeans and
for us! They will not be always
flattered by tho portraits. They aro
loo revealing for comfort sometimes.
No wonder the author (himself from
Downinjr Street and a man of im
portance) preserves his anonymity
and simply signs himself "A Gentle
man With a Duster."
For tho leisurely, the lighter
hour, which must have occa
sional place oven in tho best
ordered schedules,
Rosa Mundi
by
Ethel M. Dell
is ready. From her first Way
of on Eagle up to The Top of
the World, through tho lino of

audience and increased it to
many hundreds of thousands.
She has never had a failure.

Flammarion on the Soul
Cnmlllp Flammarion has begun tho
publication of a series of books intended
to prove tho existence of the soul nnd
Its survival after the death. The 11m
to appear Is "Death nnd Its Mystery"
(The Century Co.). In which he devotes
himself to nn exposition of tlm nroofs
of tho existence of tho soul. He finds
them, among others. In telepathy nnu
c ntrnudience nnd clairvoyance Ho
cites numerous Instances of communica
tion between Individuals without tho
intervention of any known material me
dium nnd other instances of knowl
edge of things happening nt a distance
nt tho time they were happening. Me
Insists that these phenomena establish
the fact that man is something more
than a mere material organism; that
there Is In his body a something, call
It what you will, that Is superior to us
physical limitations. He announces at
the conclusion of the volume that "It
proves the existence of tho human sotit
Independently of the bodily orgnnism;"
and ho says that "in this, it seems to
me, wo have acquired a fact of tho very
highest Importance for the whole doe
trlno of philosophy." Many persons
who have faith In the existence of the
eoul and Its Immortnllty will not be
sntlsfied with the proofs adduced by
this French astronomer, nnd it is not,
likely that those who deny tho soul's
existence will be satisfied cltjicr. Tho
most that ho has dono is to summarize

High Romance
Canardln, tho daring, droll and deli
cious hero of Burton Kline's romnnco
of hazards, humors nnd sentiments,
"The Gallant ltogue," out today from
tho presses of Little-Brown, Is nn en
gaging complex of Itobln Hood nnd
Unfiles. Not that thin adventurous nnd
chivalrous philanthropist-brigand is Im
itated by cither or even suggested by
them; but he is of their comradeship of
bravado, fearlessness, astuteness and
capacity for altruism.
Ono feels that, all things being con
sidered, there Is no taint of criminality
in Canardln. Ha Is just robustious and
romantic an ndjustcr of difficulties nnd
misfits in an easily romantic age, after
his own fashion and code. "The first
thief of Franco" he Is called, but there
Is nothing reprehensible about him ns
Mr. Kline ban conceived him nnd pro
jected him. Xo wonder, then, ho is the
Idol of half tho land, which Is filled with
laughter and admiration, for he loei
what he docs so neatly nnd so fently,
and his motlvo Is so lnudnble and his
way so valiant, that either In adventuro
or in love the reader will follow Canar
dln with zestful interest nnd mnuy n
thrll with still others ahead on the
horizon of suspense.
Mr. Kline has written deftly nnd
convincingly high romance thnt is ro
mnnco with an air and manv graces.
However, "The Gallant ltogue," with Its
picaresque and plcturesquo hero, its In
triguing heroine. Its novel nnd exciting
situations, is not n historian novel.
But there Is authenticity in its han
dling of atmosphere and description,
without dccorntlvo or affected "pcrlpd"
historicity. It is n btory of plot and
action with incessant movement nnd tho
movement Is always forward. Written
to cntcrtnln, it completely achieves en
tertainment. What Interests Bennett
A lot of things besides writing fiction
Fccmlngly interest Arnold Bennett on
tho evidence of the varied contents of
his newest book. "Things Thnt navo
Interested Mo" (Down). Most of them,
qutto in line with tho principle that
Interests spread extensively loso in in
tensiveness nnd tend to the superficial
rather than the mastered, apparently
interest him in much a casual or tan
gential way. Mostly, the subjects In
this book interest Mr. Bennett ns just
thnt subjects; for It is obviously n
journnllstlc compilation of pieces pre
pared In the routine of n busy man of
letters nnd tho press. Somi-tlincs his
observations are nciite nnd hhrcwdly
projected; but often they nru simply tho
making of so much copy as part of n
routine. At nny rate the couple of score
of pnpers collected In this form mnke
"readable" reading, with nn occnsional
thought chucked In to boot. Among the
topicB nro opera, the thentro (including
what Is wrong with it), tailoring, pro
hibition pro nnd con; fibtlnna, Itussln,
housekeeping and sex equality.
The South Seas
Frederick O'Brien hns written a book
of distinction, charm and elusive color
In "Mystic Isles of tho South Seas"
(Century). With Gaguin, Conrnd,
Maugham nnd others writing about this
nppnrently enrthly pnrndlsp, Polynesia

years. As a matter of fnet, there hove
been few times In recent lltornry history

Two Women Have Written a Comedy of Situation and Char
acter That Deserves the Success It Has Won
By FELIX E.
IroffMor of Kf)llili l.lUrature
TJ1NTBH MADAME" is a lively
s'comedy of situation nnd character.
It lias been staged with the success
which Its suro stage technique, its log
ical working out of incident nnd Its
ready nnd natural dialogue deserve. In
a sprightly introduction, Mr. Woolcott
lets us in back of tho scenes sufficiently
to learn how tho chief personage was
drawn from life, whence assuredly all
chief and other persons should be drawn,
a draft, so to speak, on the experi
ences of one of tho authors and the
interpreter of tho title role. He tells
us more of this lady's training nnd suc
cess, nil ot which Is pleasant reading
and pertinent enough. We nro grateful
to him for not telling us thnt in "Enter
Madame" enters at last the long-expected
indigenous Atncrlcan comedy
triumphant, "Enter Madame" is con
spicuous in not being so heralded.
QUOTING somebody, who I suppose
really knew clso why quote him?
I once sold : "There nre eleven original
or prlmltlvo situations In comedy and
no more." I received the next day, In
consequence of this deliverance, a docu
ment which moro nearly resembled a
challeago to mortal combat than any
thing else outside of fiction. A list of
the eleven original situations was de
manded, and inslantcr. As I did not
pVoposfl then, nnd do not propose now,
to bo bullied, I refused to deliver the
goods. Mnybo I know and maybo I
don't; nt nny rate I shall never tell
tho other ten ; but If the eleventh nnd
perhaps ono or two others besides be
not tho trlnnglo. then I am very much
mistaken. Somebody equally clever, if
thero bo nny such, or else It was my
friend. Professor William Lyon Phelps,
of Yale, onco wroto that In tho con
certor was It tho orchestra? of llfo
all tho music or wns It all the Jan

And yet I doubt not that In that im

will go to South America the next duy
at noon. She Is prepared to accept.
Flora Is generously constrained to leave
tho sometime-husband nnd wlfo to talk
tho matter over. "Aro wo not wives-In-law?"
says madame. And the up
shot is that although Flora interrupts
them by phone from her flat below sev
eral times until the receiver Is left off,
madame easily wins back her husband.
Indeed, so complete Is their absorptloh
that they have forgotten completely tne
trifling circumstance that they nre no
longer man nnd wife. In the mornlnif,
with Flora and nn army of reporters
besieging tho flat, the reunited couple
are forced to nn elopement by the back

Tvhniin nntnrn In wnfl understood and de
plcted with nil their charm, love of the
nrts nnd irresponsibility. Nor, would I
inaimmfn thn innf oritlMsm nf tho re
currence of these familiar figures. It Is
as preposterous to demand original fig
urcs'on tho stage as In nn nccount boon ,
tho combination, the ordering, the nrt
of your nrlthmetle, that Is literally
what counts. In "Enter Madame" there
Is n sufficiently novel ordering to give
thnt plcnsuro of surprise in which com
edy of this species nt least largely sub
sists. Surprise in tho expected, the ex
pected wrought by navel meaiiB hero
is the recipe. It is ns easy ns nn omo
lct theoretically; and as tricky and
precarious In the doing. And It will
not attain to that realm of nrt in which
abide the perfect comedy arid the per
fect omelet check by jowl, unless it
has that last perfection nnd scnsoulng,
distinction of style. This, in common
with most ot our good plays, ns well
ns the bad nnd Indifferent. "Enter Ma
dame" has not. And I doubt not thnt
tho authors would scorn the idea that
this Is In any wise a want. "A picture
of life." their defender mlcht say.
"must be like life; nnd neither life nor
tho dialogue of llfo Is distinguished nor
maintained by this qunllty of which you
speak, style." But this Is just where
we miss it. A comedy, no matter how
realistic. Is really not life, but life
translated into the highly artificial and
conventional terms of the stage. Wo
ennnot Improve tho stngo by making it
unconventional. Wo can enhance nnd
perfect tho nrt of the stngo by realizing
and using to the best ndvnntnge the
ponycntlnnnlltlcs of which it consists.
One of theso Is distinction In dlnlogue,
qunllty In expression ; not n contradic
tion of what occurs In life, but a height
ening of It Into the terms of nrt. Until
we get this nnd the much more that this
essential principle involves nil tho In
dividualities and temperamentalltlcs
which nro ns unreal off the stage as
on nnd all the llttlo realities, such ns
telephones, for example, which nro as
wearisome on the stage as off will not
