In a recent interview, Mrs. Frank Les
lie thus discussed ''the Quick or the
Dead'' cit was an unpleasant book to
me. While 1 would not call it an i'm
mortal novel, the heroine was the sort of
woman I could never admire. She was
too fleshey. The analysis of her charac-
ter was to me most painful and pitiful.
1t is not that 1 am squeamish, but I do
not like woman to admit even to her
self that she has such unpleasing emo
tions. Let US leave that sort of thing to
the men. Now Amelie Rives' 'Herod
and Marianne struck me as a most mar
velous piece of worS-quite another
thing from that unhealthful, morbid,
gruesome novel. -
