TOMMY AND GRIZEL, by James M.
Barrie:--
1t is safe to say that there have been
few more interesting characters in fc-
tion than Mr.. r. Sandys of Thrums and
indefinite word. but more discriminat-
ing one would be sure 10 provoke an ar
gument among the followers OF the biog-
raphy of Sentimental Tommy" who
had the advantage OF being misunder-
stood on the favorable side by his con-
temporaries and whom perhaps nobody
can be quite sure of thoroughly under
standing anyway. We are not even sure
tnat his biographer and literary creator
fully understood him, although we fol-
lowed him with painstaking observation
and were not fooled in the direction that
Tommy's contemporaries were, regard
ing him with a mixture of curiosity,
irony and contempt with just "a dash
OF ympathy-although the dash some
times seems TO be paramount in the
mixture.
The first impulse of the faithful and
discriminating follower of the career Of
Tommy, now concluded in the sequel
to Sentimental Tommy" just from the
press, is to describe him as queer and
let II go at that. But plainly Tommy
had too many common human traits
TO be dismissed in sucn a cursory fash
A..
of the average man roo evidently to
be set down without qualification as
radically different or TO be condemned
as a creature of hopeless mendacity.
And here. by the way, this reviewer finds
himself being irresistibly led into dis
cussion OF Tommy. which is the very
thing he proposes to avoid. That field is
not to be entered without due prepara-
ton and a regard for the state of mind
of thousands OF his readers who will
inevitably combat any point OF view ex-
cept their own-and their own is likely
to be as various as their numbers,
And that is another story.
The story that Mr.. Barrie tells is a
collection OF rarely thorough character
studies. Tommy. Grizel, Elspeth-these
three are the authors pets that he
fondles and develops and pictures tire
lessly az to himself and his readers ms
well There are others, too, that are
worth while vigorous little sketches
that contribute TO the setting of the ex-
quisite portrayals in the foreground of
the canvas They are exceedingly hu-
man. And ~ Tommy himself Is voted n
little beast and a monstrous humbug.
nevertheless he is human, too, patheti-
caIly so. Therein lies the charm OF this
book and its predecessor. In any COM
pany these Barrie creations would he

with all the humor, the drollery, the
sympathy. the philosophy the literary
