"*Horse In The Nfoon," "Adriana Takes a Trip," and "The Scboolmis- tress' Romance* are among the. best.

Fascist theater. A BALANCED RATI1ON FOR A. WEEK'S REAkDING has taken tke industrial conlict in the textile irdustry in North Caro- lina a few years ago as material for a novel. He is the first wbo has given that conflict interpretation, not in the form of drab economic propaganda written in swift journalese, but in a powerful* story of men and -women, dimensi6nal and vital because Mr. Burke bas a true.undeestanding of the, people involved, in that conflict, a nd the rural life bebind tbem., Un- less we are facing a very- happy year iniiliterature there will be few books, wÉitten in 1932 in so ricb a spirit or about, so m.oving, a theme as bis first novel, "Cali Homne Thée.Heart." This picture of a North 'Carolina, miii town is so unhappily veracious that many wili see in it,.only a part of Mr, Burke's anti-capitalistic propa- gkan.da. Yet the picture, isý scarcely, if at aIl, overdrawn'. The towns are heartrending in ugliness;, the people are beartrending in their sodden belp- lessness. Very definiteiy Mr. Burke flîes un- satisfied f rom b is own p ropaganda jnist as does bis heroine who fought, and then fled back to ber mountains. That flight probably marks for Mr. 1B3urke the beginning 'of escape f rom forthrigbit indignation into the truer perspective of the artist. In this book, despite the sentimentality and bard indignation with wbich be draws bis opposing characters, tbey are alive, and the world ini which. tiiey live, l>otb in mountain and town, is vivid, true, and important, Here is ricb promise. Here is better than promise, for with allits faults "Call Home The Hleart" is perhaps the best novel yet %vritten of industrial conflict i con- temporary Anierica. And how long wve bave needed it!
