LAURENCE HOUSMAN'S
FOUR VICTORIAN PLAYS
It Is rather an Incomprehensible book
that Laurence Hetisnian has written in
"Angels nnd Ministers" (Harcourt,
Ilrnec & Ce.), net at all ltke the au
thor's previous work and quite varied
in Its own merits.
"Angels and Ministers" Is a collec
tion of four plays, none of which has
the semblance of stage possibility, but
several of which make interesting read
ing. A sub-title calls them "l'lnys of
n Victorian Shade," and In the Intro
duction the nuther admits belonging
te that particular Rhade and mnkes a
dclirate and delightful plea for them.
The plays themselves, however, have
net in common the appearance of belne
seen under n "rose-blinded lnmp of
history, nnd tlie old characters, gen
erally speaking, nrc net made te "leek
young again," ns the author wishc.
The first, "The Queen: Ged Illcss
Her," introduces Queen Victeria, Lord
Ilcacensfield and Jehn lirewn. The
plcture of the Queen Is particularly
personal, innklng her nothing mere than
u gossipy, rather dull old lady. It's
net se much a question of the truth of
this picture of the Queen as It Is
whether or net the play ns a whole has
any reality or dramatic force. It would
seem te be lacking In both. Nice phras
ing cannot cover that defect.
"His Favorite Flower." which names
no historic personages, but suggests one,
is mere compact niul n little mere
Imaginative, but nlse a little mere ob
scure.
'Who Comforter, Introducing Uie
Gladstenes and Jehn Merlcy, Is quite
the best of the set. Its lecnlc is "Down-
Ing Street, March, 1801."
The tlnal play, "A Tecp-Shew In
Paradise," gets entirely nwny from pol
itics and finds much atmosphere and a
little Interesting comedy In a Victorian
parlor. It Is the most direct Hnd by
far the mebt human of the four, net
definitely n literary feat In which his
torical puppets are made te dance with
stlflf Inaccuracy.

Menacing Inside Story of
Ku Kluxism
In "The Modern Ku Klux Klan"
(Small, Maynard & Ce.) Henry P. Fry
has written comprehensively nbeut the.
revival of the pest-bellum terrorist bund
nnd just what It means In modern life,
with Its advance beyond prejudices and
toward the telerance without which de
mocracy is null and void. Mr. Fry
poses the questiens: "Is the modern Ku
Klux Klan anti-Semite, anti-Catholic
nnd anti-Negro"? nnd "Is It n skill
fully contrived organization for making
money?" Instend of a genuine, sincere
fraternal order, emphasizing the true
principles of authentic Americanism,
Mr. Fry finds it quite the reverse.
The result of his researches and In
vestigations into the Klenglcs nnd Grand
Goblins and Klenklaves and all the rest
of the tavstlc mummery and cryptic cam
ouflage is that the modern recrudescence
of the Ku Klux Klan is a distinct men
nee te the American people and their
rights of opinion, choice nnd action. It
Is Mr. Fryp contention that the elab
ornle system nnd its spectacular para
phernalia Is t-ct up in defiance of all
legal nnd constitutional previsions.
Mr. Fry, once a member of the Klan
In the belief that It wus an order pro pre pro
eotive of Americanism, retired rem It
when he discovered what he contends
were Its money-making proclivities nnd
its violations of the rights of American
citizens. He furnished the material en
which were based the articles In the
Kvknike Pt'in.ie IiED(ii:u's exposure
of the Klan wime time nge. This book
Is a cempnet summary of what he found
in the Klan anil hew he made the "In
visible F.mplre" visible te nil Ameri
cans In its true light.
Rostand the Younger
A book which fits into no conven
tional literary category is Maurice Ros
tand's first published book. "The Crys
tnl Coffin," which Mcllride is publish
ing in America. The nuther, who Is
the son of Kdinend Rostand, hai long
been regarded as a young man of bril
liant premise. When, two years age,
Ms first novel was published in Paris,
under the title "Le Ccrccuil de Crys
tal," It Immediately aroused a tempest
of crltirlm, both favorable and other
wise. Neurotic, decadent, filled with
readily recognizable portraits of men
and women well known in French so
ciety, it wns regarded as mero than
semi-autobiographical and was lnvNhly
praiscu ana ns mtcmpcrateiy ridiculed

PATTEN'S QUEER BOOK
"Mud Hellew" Is Half Nevel
and Half Sociological
Discussion
If Dr. Simen N. Patten were a great
literary artist he could hnvc done what
he set out te de In "Mml Hellew"
(Dorrance Company). But he Is a po
litical economist and net a literary
artist and, therefore, he linn fulled te
de what would have, exhausted the fa
dlitlcH of n Htcrnry genius.
He has sought te tell the story of the
Intellectual, social and emotional de
velopment of the West In n novel. If
he hnd left the story out nnd had inndc
his book historical Instend of fictional
he could have done something that
would have commanded attention.
As a novel the book is net worthy of
serious discussion. It is awkward in
plot. Its characters arc net real, its
action 'is slew nnd it ends in the air.
Nevel writing was se difficult te Dr.
Patten Hint he attempted it for only
half of his book. The second half is
discussion pure nnd simple, with oc
casional allusions te the story of the
first part.
He says that the West; is Scotch in
thought, Irish in action nnd Methodist
in emotion, nntl he develops this theory
In the second part of the book. In the
course of it he dcclnrcs that New Eng
land has been en the wrong side of all
grcut issues since the Revolution and
that the New EnglandeM who migrated
westward changed their point of view
with the change of their environment.
Hut, unfortunately, persons interested
In such matters will net buy his book,
for they are net novel readers, nnd
novel readers Hre net likely te buy It
bccniifie the book Is net really n novel.
In his concluding chapter Dr. Pat
ten confesses thnt the book hiia been
rejected by publishers who insist that
there Is only ene kind of a novel and his
book is net that kind, just as critics
condemned his book of hymns because
there nre only six kinds of poetry and
the hymns did net belong te any of the
kinds. However clear his vision may be
en matters of economies, Dr. Patten
evidently is blind te literary distinc
tions. Otherwise he would net hnve
written his book in the way he has nor
would he.have damned these who tell
him that lie has net written a novel.
Hut, nfter all, the book will repay
reading by these interested in sociology,
if they can have patience with the cruds
fictional form of the first part.
