Vfi is Ethel Dell?
Why is "Mirrors of Downing Street"
the most reviewed book on both
sides of the Atlantic?
Why are we sure Ben Hecht's "Erik

,of the year ?
jWhy should no auto-owner be with

Tiy should detectives read "The

What The Queen Reads
"The Queen's library list,"

"Clair de Lune," a Drama Based on "L'Hommc Qui Rif" Is a

Ily KKL1X E.
rrofeaMr nf KntllKli Literature In
T FEEL that the author of 'Clair ne
Lune' him ritatwt ,l,ot mlolif hi,
jnuea n new idiom in dramatic writing.
Its .curiously and brilliantly imagined
harmony of plot, characters and back
ground has a strange and disturbing
flavor which, once tasted, cannot be
forgotten. Over It all, like the moon
light of its title, shines the quality of
fantasy Jt is 'such stuff as dreams
are made on ' " Thus writes Mr. Ed
ward Sheldon, the well-known dramat
ist; and on reading "Clair de Lune"
we wonder at these words. But Edward
Sheldon ns n dramntlc critic Is not our
topic today.
TITIIEN I look up this play I said.
'' HI J reader of nlil flctlnn--nr must

have spared myself this recognition of
the obvious, as a note on the false title
declares that "suggestions" as well as
the names nf some of the personages
arc "taken from" Victor Hugo's well
known novel, I then looked for some
unpublished chapters In this touching
and pathetic storj Sir Harry Johnson
has of late carried on the story of the
Dcmbeyg nnd of Mr. Shaw's Mrs.
Warren's eccentric daughter, much to
Ihc delectation of readers. But this
play Is not of that agreeable tjpe. In
fact, it seems less to expand than to
contract figures, incidents and situa
tions from Hugo's ample pages, chang
ing bis wide historic atmosphere to the
stifling artificialities of n corrupt and
heartless court in n fantastic no-man's
land and losing In the process. I should
say, most of the human appeal.
miIE MAN WHO LAUGHS."
-L which Is a better translation than
"The Laughing Man," It will be re
mcraborcd, ls the terrible story of a
child of noble English parentage, stolen
out of malice nnd for revenge, nnd sub
mitted to a horrible surgical operation
by which his facial expression Is per
manently fixed In a hideous harlequin
grin. He grows up in the company
of mountebanks, fathered by an old
man, absurdly called somewhere in this
play "a doctor of philosophy," and n
blind maiden, Boa, who lores him for
di-formed Gwymplane Buffers, in the circle
or the nobility, the untold ajtony wnicn
his deformity has brought upon him;
and In the end he returns to Dea, who
alone understands him, only to see her
die. aboard n. boat in which they are
seeking c.cape, he following her to hts
death In the sea. There is poetry aid
pathos in Hugo's tale, and the tempta
tion of Gwymplane by a noble lady who
is unnaturally attracted to him by his
deformity is only an episodo in the wide
and varied scene.
"CLAM DE LUN'E," by Michael
J- S
Strange, who it is whispered audibly
iuimeuuunru mciueui u?:uuich n muiu
feature of the plot. Relieved of its
moonlight, the story tells of a queen,
"a sharp-featured, neurotic-loosing
woman," we may add of middle years.
Sho Is attended, among others, by
Prince Charles, "a slender, exotic-looking
gentleman," who is her "cousin"
and her heir: and also by the Duchess
of Beaumont, a younger, illegitimate
sister of hers, betrothed to Prince
Charles. Boredom ls h common char
acteristic of these titled people, and
who can wonder? The betrothed cou
ple, who loathe each other, are repre
sented as trying to beguile the tedious
hours with croquet. Parenthetically,
mark how this beatH out Shakespearf's
Cleopatra at billiards. A troupe of
mountebanks intervene, performing by
night in the royal pnrk The jaded no
bility wake up miraculously to the
remarkable novelty of n pantomime.
Charles, out of sheer ennui. Is attracted
by Dea's beauty and arranges to have
her brought to his apartments; while
his precious betrothed as, suddenly con
ceives an unholy passion for (Jwym
p!ane and his hideous grin, and nNo
arranges an assiguutlon. Mrs. Barry -moro's
or shall we say this Strangc's
Gwymplane is further defoimcd with
"distorted legs," though exactly how he
contrives to perform his feats of agility
in the pantomime with this handicap Is
not quite clear. The upshot of this
double intrigue of this precious couple,
who are to be married tomorrow, is the
discovery of each to th other nnd to the
Queen, who in the end turns out not
the rival of the Duchess for the lore
of Charles, but the mother of that now
illegitimate Prince, Gwymplane being
the true heir. There Is a shadowy vil
lain, Phedro, who wanders about
through the play, but just what ho n
about it would be difficult, to say. In
some respects he fceems to have been
rather respectable compared to Charles
and his Queen and bis Duchess. So
much for Mr. Sheldon's "brilliantly
Imagined harmony of plot" and of
"character" and of "background."
"TOV for "the new idiom In dramatic
iV writing."
"Tho Duchess appears to me exnetly
like a bent hairpiu." nays the Queen,
"adjusting her lorgnette."
"Go along. Charles. At any rnte,
you have n nort of bleight-of-hand man
lier of lookiug nt your watch that makes
l me rattier nervous. Rays tne snme
"ncnrotic-loouing lady.
"What in llie world is one tired j
from'' WIiHt does one rest for'"
niuundprs the weary Duchess, "in a
Hither lobt manner.
"A servant is something to absorb
the spittlo of their irritability "
We may agree with Mr. Sheldon that
this is "a new idiom in dramutie writ
ing " But Mimetiinos the dialogue
btrains at even n further newness.
"I'll make you feel," says the
wicked Phedro. "ss if you were falling
down an abyss of knives" . here nt least
is a threatened new sensation. No
marvel thnt Gwjnplane rails l'hedro "a
squinting rodent," antl that l'hedro re
torts "acidly." "His eloquence would
steal the pollen from n flower" sounds
somewhat like what some people some
rimes call poetry. No such nonsenne.

wing of meter; tmt sob stuff." thus'
' I feel as if ve were in u black barge

it would dip over the horizon line nnd
we nhould be lost forever together " Or,
"I see u million pale ribbons Muttering
through gray vapor. They ure widening
into rivers of color. Into vast dazzling
spaces and some divine form is shining
through now and sweeping nil the dark
ness away off the world, with his golden
wings." There is nothing like this in
Victor Hugo. Is this possibly what
Mr. Sheldon rails "the quality of fan
tasj"? T1;
HAT a blind girl should be sent down

Gorky on Tolstoy
When Tolstoy lived in Gaspra, In
tho Crimea. Maxim Gorky lived not far
away and saw the great Russian fre
quently. He made notes of his con
versations that he might not forget sig
nificant and characteristic remarks.
These notes have now been gathered into
a book Rlong with an unfinished letter
written by Gorky at the timo of Tol
stoy's flight from home. Tho letter
contains much Interesting comment on
affairs by the great man.
The book will givo to the reader a
more Intimate picture than can be
found elsewhere. Tolstoy appears in It
as n very human man, with vanities and
foibles, sometimes posing and some
times sincere. Gorky tells us that he
talked most of God, peasants and
women. His remarks about women
were not particularly complimentary.
Gorky conjectures that he had once
been betrayed by one of them and could
not get over it. Much that the book
contains would probably havp been ob
jected to by 'lolstoy, as uniair to him,
for It describes him when he is making
impulsive and unconsidered remarks.
But it is for just that reason that It
will be intensely interesting to the
student of Russian forces.

nized as one of tlm greatest of living

of that scieiuf. at the I'niversity of

a humanist as well ns n savaut, an edu
cator u well ns u scientist. Hence his'
hook has n broiid scope nnd should en
joy a wide public.
Evolution is uccented as a reeoL-nieed 1
premise in his diwussion and tho book
is not designed to argue about what is
an established principle of contemporary
principle of ecience. The evolution of
man it, considered only briefly from the
evidential standpoint and merely to set
the general discussion nnd to show the
bearing on the present. The main sub- I
stance of Dr. Conklin's book is the
skillful application of the accepted '
principles of evolution, ns governing
ami influencing the development of man
In th past to thp problems of the j
ptesent, while the significance of these'
principles to the future of tho race is
also indicated, though without nny
parlous prophesying. Dr. Conklin 1
writes in a clear anil distinguished style,
and with the ability to popularize, I
without t-acrificlng, the authoritarian I
prestige of science. I
In conclusion he wiiteg: "The in-1

Air Service Ably Discussed by
American and British
Experts
Brigadier General William Mitchell,
United States Army, commanding offi
cer of tho American air service, has
written of its origin, its record and
its potentialities In "Our Air Korea."
He calls nvlatlon the keystone of na
tional defense nnd on .this axiom predi
cates a moat interesting nnrl Infnrmlnr
P'ea for Its development. The object
or his book Is to bring beforo tho Amer
ican people such highly important
points as what the efficient organlzs,1
tlon of the national air resources mean,
how It can be completely and economi
cally brought about, and what the nrmy
has already done toward standardlna
tlon, improvement and systcmatizatlon.
Control of tho air, General Mitchell
believes, will be the first thing fought
for In the event of another great war.
Expansion and conservation of nvla
tlon resources, therefore, nre two Vital
policies in the nationnl defense.
General Mitchell was tho first Amer
ican officer under German fire In tho
war. and tho first American officer lo
fly across the enemy lines. He was
awarded both the Distinguished Serv
ice Cross for personal bravery, and the
Distinguished Service Medal for ex
ceptional administrative nnd executive
work.
