WILMETTE LIFE .January 18, 1929 tailed description, told in the first person and evid~ntly an actua.l experience, of a tnp home to Wtsc~n-. sin one Christmas Eve. Everythmg· is there the frosty breath Qf the workmen co~ing into the_ train, the Christmas trees "squat and dazzling." Oddly enough, though one does not in the least care whether Mr. Wescott leaves Wisconsjn or not, one feels a ·sort of resentment at something which keeps him superior to even the Christmas trees, like an older brother home from college whose attitude seems to border on dhloyalty. After the three parts which make up the title essay of the book, there are a number of excellent stories told in that very detailed, very intellectua1c very dispassionate style which is "Mr. Wescott's own. Esther Gould's Book Corner RECORD BREAKER The motion picture made from Cosmo Hamilton's novel, "The Three Passions," has been unanimou.;ly pro-claimed a ·great success by the English pres·3. "Pickwick," a play which Cosmo Hamilton wrote in collaboration with Frank C. Reilly, is now being played at the Haymarket theatre. The advance booking broke the records of the theater (the oldest in London), not even exc<.:pting a Barrie play.

One wonder·3 if it is not the greatest sign of youth.; the desire to say good-bye to, and the courage to say good-bye to his native land, and, too, the conviction that by summing it up and saving the last word it can be left behin-d. Remembering Mr. \~l escott's other books, so entirely of · the Wi·:;consin soil, one doubts if without suffering amnesia and losing all of his past he can say good-bye to Wisconsin. Howeve r, that is beside the fact, which is that in this book he has said his goodbye.

"But from overhead, from all about, from farthest range of sound, came the ·5 inging of larks." It is from these Australian larks · which rose golden, singing, into the air, that Dorothy Cottrell took the title of her novel "The Singing Gold." It is a charming novel, filled with a joy at the beauty of living which would at timF.:<: verge on the sentimental if it were not so youthful and so sincere. Mrs. Cottrell has lived all her life in the sheep-rahing country of Australia and there is certainly something of the autobiographical in this, her first novel. The first and perhaps the most charming part of the book is that which describe-3 the chilrl.hood of Joan, the tomboyish, scrawnY little · girl who spent most of her time playing at being "Captain Dashway of the Light Dragoon . ," and being the despair of her housewifely mother. The de·:;cription of her friendship with Jerry, her father's helper and bookkeeper, is as touching as it is reaL Then it comes time for Joan to be sent away to school to the grantlrriother who has always imagined her as attired in dainty lacy frocks, and · who has a bad heart ·spell when she sees her. But Joan, cheerfully undaunted, goes on about her busines;; and wins her grandmother's heart as she won others'. Then during the War b~cause Jerry ha·5 only written her bright sensible letters, Joan marries a young boy "Clippings." Clippings because he doesn't know the exact size of... the wedding ring buys six and in his confusion drops them all over the chun;h floor. But the ceremony is just as valid in spite o~ that and Joan is caught in her half laughable, half tragic entanglement. Trouble comes to them and finallv death to Clippings and Joan goes back to the only life that has ever seemed real to her, that on the Australian 2lains. There at last she and Jerry find the happiness which has been symbolized for them by the larks' "singing gold." ··········· The Dutton M-,stery for January NORm SHORE TALKING MACHINE CO. 712 Church St. Evanston Convenient Term· Open Evening· THE SPECTACLES OF MR.
