Earl G. Curtis
Here Is a big, pulsinp first novel
straijrht from the heart of a man
who has been in the thick of life's
battle. He knows the emotions
and passions of tiie teilinp masses.
"Saturday N'ijjhts" is. n real story.
Its swiftly moving pictures of raw
life in a large tnhncce town flash
with plot and color.
Grim, nlmest brutal at times in it
stark renlism, it is also touched
with the magic of romance, the
wonder of n great love.

mini in rcncvtvtl, It may dawn ou ins ,
censcliuincHs that n novel Is something ,
mere than a story, even though the uev-1
cum nail no ether Intention than te
urlte. an entertaining narrative.
Kvcry novelist is u chameleon, tak
liiif en the color of hln environment. He
I cannot help It. for he cannot detach
himself from the social and moral influ.
ences at work around him. All his
thinking Is colored by them, whether he!
is In revolt against them or Is co-'
operating te make them mere effective. ,
There Is nothing new In this. T hove ,
restated It simply that the habitual j
novel reader may remind himself that
he Is constantly acquainting himself j
with the data from which, If he wills,
he can discover whut Is going oil in
the minds of men about him.
'Vhec three French north indi
cate in Ihiee diffetent iniy that
there i in France n lively apprecia
tion e An basic human virtues.
LKV us consider first "Maria ('hup
delaine" iThu Macmlllau Com
pany). Seme one nwarc thet It Is a
novel about the Trench Cnnudlans in i
the Lake St. Jehn country In IJuebee '
, I may arjue t lint It Is net a French novel,
The mere statement of the objection re
i fines It. A novel does net have te be
written about France te ln a 1'iencli
' novel. The only requirement I" that
it he written by a Frenchman. Wheth
er he write about Canada, or Uusa,
or the Seuth Seas, every Idea that he
expresses and every phrase that he uses
Is tinctured with the color of the France j
that he knows. l.euls Hcmeti. who
wrote "Maria Chapdelnlne." Is a
Frenchman who went te Canada from'
France te seek his fortune and spent
a year and a half In the part of Que '
'he.' In which he has laid the scene of i
his story, lie took with him his French
mind, ids French prepossessions and
, his French point of view, and by the ,
' intelligent use of thc-e he has pre- ,
duced n novel which would be an erna- I
ment te anv literature. It Is great In '
I its simplicity and in its perception of
'the powerful forces which held Heclety
. together and lead men and women te
bear courageously the burden that life
puts upon them.
I The people In the novel are the him-
hermen and the trappers and the pie- ,
neers who are clearing the Canadian '
wilderness and making it lit for human
habitation. Thev are simple folk with
,,Hmitiv -motion, who live without
...- -. -. , -
the conveniences of thickly settled com
munities. There is much berdidne.ss
I among them and much beastly pussleu.
A novelist whose eyes never r'se above
the waistline would have made of this
story a repulsive thing because he could
net perceive the beauty that there Is In
simple loyalty. He would have de-
' scribed the surface of things where Mr.
llemen has gene te the heart of them.
It Is the btery of the romance of
Maria, which blossoms and warms her
heart for months only te die when her
lever Is lest In a Christmas snowstorm.
' She says nothing of it, but her father
and mother, witn a mil appreciation ei i
her traged), are as de ieutely consider-
ate of her as If they had been trained
' in the refinements of the best society.
I The novelist has shown that it Is net
necessary te live In the Faubourg St.
' Germain in order in be a gentleman or
nt gentlewoman, llien wneu Jiaria. who
knows thur she cannot nurbe her grief
forever and mourn ever the tomb of her

LABOR AND CAPITAL
An Attempt in a Nevel te Shew
Hew te Harmonize Them
Pest-war relation of- capital nnd
labor nnd the psychological relies of
the men and women who served overseas
after their return te the humdrum of
everjda.v life arc the motifs of William
Uaiia (trend's 'The Ilalance" (Stokes).
Mr. Orcutt Is net n novice in the lit
erary field, though this contribution te
It lees net contain anything startling.
However, a leadnble story works In n
painstaking effort te analjzc conditions
us they undoubtedly exist.
Itlchard Norten, son of n wenlihv
manufacturer of the steadfastly ceii-1
servntlve tjpe, returns from France te.
Mini iiiiiiseii at onus with the economic
life lie is asked te take up again. His
tiancee, herself u veteran with a Itcd
Cress record, finds herself confronted
with similar difficulties.
Itirliiiid refuses te take ills place in
nn eusy pest in his father'a plant, but
Insists en joining the workers lu over
alls. Thcic. seen tecegniziug the
growing spirit of discontent, he en
deavors te preach a doctrine' of fair pluy
for worker and employer.
In this endeavor he runs counter te
radical labor agitator. He bewails the
apparent callousness of Government of
ficials te the needs of cx-Rcrviee men.
He finds his arguments with his father
futile and breaks with the elder man.
Cemes a .strike riot In which the elder
Norten Is murdered nnd the son ac
cused. Of course, tlic denouement clears
the here, wedding bells ring and young
Norten gels a chance te put his eco
nomic theories into practice.
It is tin Interesting tieatment of a
vital bubject. but net done with any
apparent depth of feeling. Seme of the
characterizations ar excellent, espe
cially these of two tieht-tisted old New
Englanders bitterly continuing a feud '
of years even bc.Mind the grave. , The,
ether characters, for the most part, are
melded true te form.

i
Auther of "Where the Trails Ge Down etc,
ASIA AT THE
CROSSROADS
MR. POWELL is one of these born writers who can
not help being interesting. His background of
travel and diplomatic experience is rivaled by
few American authors. In this new book, as important
in subject matter as it is fascinating in style, Mr. Powell
presents Japan, Korea, China and the Philippines of
today. He lets the reader ,see and feel what sort of
people live in these countries, what is most worrying
them, what is most helping them, hew and why Amer
icans should be intensely interested in them, etc. He
writes, of course, from first-hand material after an ex
tended trip through the Far East.
