It is the mountain people of North Caroâ€" lina of whom he writes in "Angel." Angel, when the story opens, is a child,, delighting in the beautiful pageantry of the world she sees opâ€" ening out around her, knowing nothâ€" ing of that world in any aspect but the lonely mystic one which is her own, pitting, unconsciously, her pan« theism against the narrow religious fanaticism of her father. Last year DuBose Heyward wrote "Porgy," a fine and sympathetic and entirely new type of study of the southern negro. This year he has man, almost old, craving the romance he missed in his youth. Both of these characters are exâ€" cellently drawn but they are not the one character nearest the author‘s heart. Nor is Judge Honeywell, tho he is the most carefully and attractâ€" ively drawn character in the book. Judge Honeywell with his spasmodic return of youth, and his humorous incredulity at his twin sister‘s perâ€" sistence in speaking of him ‘as of the same age as herself when he feels at least twenty years younger. "The Romantic Comedians" is a clever book, interesting from first to last, the psychological study of a _ This probably shows that Ellen Glasgow is a very good novelist, a skilled artist. In any case we are not likely to make the mistake of beâ€" lieving that she is Annabel, the atâ€" tractive, ‘ unstable, child of twentyâ€" three, who, restless and dissatisfied, decides to stake everything on money and marry old Judge Honeywell, only to find that she had made a bad barâ€" gain; nor are we likely to picture her as the beautiful, remote, lanâ€" guishing â€" Amanda â€" Lightfoot, who broke her engagement to the Judge thirtyâ€"five years ago, then found to her surprise that instead of a pasâ€" sionate plea for forgiveness there reached her the announcement of his marriage to another girl. ‘ Last year in reading Ellien Glasâ€" gow‘s "Barren Ground," so authentic and moving was that story of a woâ€" man‘s struggle with the exhausted soil of the south for a meagre living, that 1 was convinced that the author had lived thru this very struggle, that this was the story nesrest her heart. It was quite a shock, thereâ€" fore, to learn that the nearest Miss Glasgow ever comes to the country is to drive thru it, that she is a woman noted for her achievements in society, rather than with the plow. Her next novel, then, "The Romantic Comedians" is in that other manner, urbane, sophisticated, subtle, yet strangely enough it lacks the very quality of entirely convincing auâ€" thenticity, which was the most outâ€" standing feature of the first. "The Romantic Comedian" by Elâ€" len Glasgow. Doubleday Page & Co. Speaking of biographies, for the comfort ‘of those who, like: myself, find themselves speechless every now and then, before the highbrow who is looking down his otx;nlnr nose at ficâ€" tion, let me, quote satisfying and truthful words of Virginia Woolf, in her article on feading in the Yale Review; "Moreover, however interâ€" esting facts may be, they are an inâ€" ferior form of iction, and gradually we become impatient of their weakâ€" ness and diffuseness, of their comproâ€" mises and evasions, of the slovenly sentences which they make for themâ€" selves, and are eager to revive ourâ€" selves with the greater intensity and truth of fiction." Tbfl: wilk l?. one hundred u: eight biographies and autobiograp ies published during g?fgn season. But never mind, it isn‘t as bad as it might be, for in 1925 five hundred and sixtyâ€"one were published. Of these, twentyâ€"four appeared: on the lists of best sellers, seeming to show that biographies have an increasingâ€" ly large place in the heart of the public.
