Inscribing a copy of "Dead Lovers Are Faithful Lovers" for James Branch Cabell, Frances Newman wrote, "This is something else about Eve that you don't know." The production of Eugene O'Neill's drama, "Lazarus Laughed," by the Pasadena Community Playhouse in California has been so successful that after its run at the Playhouse it will be transferred to the Hollywood Mu- sic Box Theater. Eugene O'Neill, whose "Strange In- terlude" has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, writes from abroad that he is at work on a new play to be called "Dynamo." Mr. O'Neill has re- cently been in Italy and Prague, and may soon go to Russia, where "Lazarus Laughed" will be produced by the Mos- cow Art Theater. "Strange Interlude" is the third drama by Mr. O'Neill to be chosen as the Pulitzer Prize Play, the others being "Beyond the Horizon" and "Anna Christie."

It as well as the movie made from it has been highly praised by many. Bernard Shaw ends his praise with the answer to the criticism that it keeps alive war hatreds with the words, "The law that Edith Cavell set above a military code and died for is an infinitely higher law than the law of war and the conceit of patriotism. It rebukes us all impartially, and will edify us impartially." Actually Boston is waking out of its antediluvian trance and is formulating or at least talking of formulating a new censorship law for books. Out of the sixty that have been banned in the past two years the committee which has taken the matter in hand finds two of them obnoxious. But we ask you, if Boston stops censoring books, how are the publishers going to get their favorites started? "BUT GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES" By Anita Loos Boni & Liveright Again the oracle has spoken. And assisted as before by Mr. Ralph Bar- ton it looks as if "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" were all set to raise the hopes of as many of the duskier sisters as were blasted by its prede- cessor "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Humor is, with us at least, more a matter of mood than any other form of art. Now we sadly confess that during the reading of Miss Anita Loos' first masterpiece we were bored. We admit it sadly because so many bril- liant people praised the book that one began to believe that appreciation of it was in exact proportion to brains. At which rating we were rather low. However, we are improving, for we can say truthfully that we found enjoyment in "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes." Lorelei, from the safe vantage point of her Park avenue apartment and husband Henry, is writing the story of her friend Dorothy. She is doing it because of her conviction that women should have a career and having tried several she thinks that perhaps litera- ture must be hers. The story is full of that divine dumbness which Miss Loos ROMANCE! INTRIGUE! ADVENTURE! THE BLACK FAN By Mary Boyle O'Reilly "Romance is the warp, and in- trigue the woof, of this entrancing tale." --The New York Times. $1.25 at all Booksellers Chicago REILLY & LEE New York knows how to create and which is a pleasure. For instance Chapter Four opens "Well I always think that when a young girl of 16 is thoughtless about what is going to happen to her in a Carnaval Company, she is beginning to start toward the edge of a brink." Friend Dorothy not only begins to start but goes over it and the brink lands her in New York. Her experi- ences are of course ridiculous and told in that breathless halting style which is Lorelei's own. "IN THE BEGINNING" By Norman Douglas The John Day Co. No, he hasn't done it. In picking up this beautifully bound book, "In the Beginning" the question in everyone's mind was this, "Has Norman Douglas after ten years written a book as good as his now classic 'South Wind'?" Or perhaps better? A silent period of ten years in this era of two a year or so raises extraordinary hopes and fan- cies in the expectant reader. What has kept this writer silent, what fruitful meditation has he been indulging in, the result of which he is at last ready to give to the world? In the case of Norman Douglas we cannot say, for "In the Beginning" does not give the impression of long meditation. It is an urbane tale, sharply visual, gay and witty, of the earliest days upon this earth--the days when the gods mingled freely with men, making them the butt of their sometimes peculiar jokes and pleasures, when the race of Satyrs were just dying from the earth, before good and evil and the Garden of Eden were invented--but it has not the flavor of long meditation. "South Wind" had that, there was an immense amount of wisdom packed in those pages, as there was a clarity, a biting quality to the humour which this later book has not. This is not the good old days illusion, a comparison of two scenes which happened to be very similar in the two books and read one right after the other, gave the laurels all too emphatically to "South Wind." That book has a vitality which will make it live long after this later one is dead. Perhaps it is cruel to hang a master- piece like a mill-stone around an author's neck? A man's earliest works are indeed his sharpest critics. But what else can we do, it is only our disappointment speaking.
