The Aristocrat of American Letters

Writing in the Pittsburg Gazette
Times, George Seibel discusses the an
nouncement that a new novel by James
Lane Allen is forthcoming. He says;
1.-THE most important literary an
nouncement for some time has just
been made-that new novel by James
Lane Allen is to be published next
month 1t is important not only be-
cause all of Mr.. Aliens work is of
quality commanding the highest re-
spect, but also because of Mr.. Aliens
personal qualities. He is not only one
of our artists of the first rank, but also
the true aristocrat of American letters
Mr.. Allen has no press agents. We
never hear what fountain pen he uses,
what breakfast food he eats, what color
he prefers in necktes nor how he came
to be a novelist instead of a truck
driVed. He is never interviewed upon
the subjects of race suicide, the boil
weevil or the duty on paper pulp. He
has never run for governor nor de-
nounced the Standard Oil company. He
buys no palazzos in italy and never
circumnavigated the globe in a tow
boat You do not hear that he is spend
ing the summer at Oshkosh, working on
a new masterpiece. James Lane Allen
was in Pittsburg for a week a year or
two ago, and no one knew 1t. His
name on the hotel register was signed
simply j. L. Allen and those who saw
it little suspected that a great novelist
perhaps the greatest of living novelists
in America, was in the city. He eX-
hibits the same dignified reserve every
where. He doesn't talk shop, doesn't
have his picture taken in seventeen diff
ferent poses, doesn't roar and shake his
name at conVocations of women's clubs
He is content to let his work speak for
him.

A Book of Real Poetry

The true lyric note is Gale Young
12ice's. whose "Nirvana Days" includes
a variety of verse forms and moods
dominated consistently, however, by an
impenetrating sadness. few of the
poems in this volume are retained from
two of the authors earlier collections,
but a majority of them will appeal to
the reader as new, or else charm him
with the haunting sense of some stray
moment of pleasure in which he read
them in the otherwise prosalc pages or
a magazine. The healthy, idealistic
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-01

And it speaks in no uncertain tones.
"A Kentucky Cardinal and After
math' are already classics; their rich
humor and pathos and poetry enshrine
them securely among the books that will
live. Flute and Violin contains some
of the best short stories ever written.
The Choir Invisible is one of the
noblest of books. The Mettle of the
Pasture is one of the most dramatic.
The Reign of Law and Summer in
Already are full of truth and tender
ness. And these, with the exception
of a volume on The Blue Grass Re-
gion of Kentucky, represent all the
writings of Mr.. Allen. He does not
produce a new novel or two every
year. 1t is, in fact, six years since
The Mettle of the Pasture was pub
lished. During that time, by way of
comparison, we have had nine books
from David Graham Phillips. eight from
Robert w. Chambers and twelve from
Jack London.
when Mr.. Aliens new book is pub
lished we will know that six years of
mature thought, of loving literary
labor, of lofty artistic purpose have
gone into its making. And we know
it will be worth while"

BY a California Author

The sea has always been dreaded as
an unmarked, unquiet and unremem-
bered grave whose dead were washed
far out of the ken of those who had
loved them. A California woman, how
ever, has added a touch of kindlier
poetry to the somber associations of
ocean burial. Until 1900 Decoration
day had been, outwardly at least, de-
voted particularly to those who fell
upon land, but upon May 80 of that
year, at Los Angeles and other Pacific
coast cities, flowers were first strewn
upon the waters in memory of the dead
who lay beneath and who died in their
cOuntry's service on the sea. The orig
inator of the custom, Mrs. Armitage 5.
G. Forbes, has been made an honorary
member of the National Association,
Ladies of Naval Veterans, and officially
commended by the navy department at
Washington. Admirals Evans, Dewey,
Sampson and Schley have approved her
inspiration and casting flowers upon
the water in memory of the sailor and
soldier dead is now part of the nations
ritual of gratitude. While the nation at
large is grateful to Mrs. Forbes for this
new expression Of it's patriotism, Cali
fornia is grateful to her for many other
patriotic labors including the revival of
the dances. music and legends of its
spanish days ana LOT lne pfeSeFNdllOH
of it's "El Canine Real" the old road
which connects the Franciscan mis-
sions. Mrs. Forbes latest service of
this nature is the publication through
A. C. McClurg & Co. of a series of stO-
ries, mission Tales in the Days of the
Dons," which deals with the life once
led along that old 'King's Highway"
by the Franciscans, their Indian con-
verts, and the Dons of Spain. These
tales are of course romantic, but are
founded on fact and well translate the
glamour of those early days

An Unusual First Novel
In 1.-THE Winning Chance" which
was issued in May by the Lippincotts,
the publishers claim to have found a
really "big" American story.
1t is the first novel of Elizabeth
Dejeans, a woman of Southern birth
and the daughter of an army officer.
She resided for years in Japan and
England, but is now making her home
in California, where she is at work
upon a new story.
Regarding '"The Winning Chance"
Mrs. Dejeans recently wrote: IT am
not prepared to discuss my book now.
l can only say of it that it was story
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-01

that took possession of me. I wrote
it in two and one-half months time in
the simplest language l knew. The
characters and situations may meet
with disapproval; there is much in life
simply that of an exact and truthful
portrayer, and by no means as an ad-
vocate."

Dejeans. New York; Lippincotts,

challenge of 1.-THE Young to the Old"
is typical of the poets philosophy-a
faith which is brave and torrent of
impulses to melancholy and despair
"SomnamSulism" is a wild, rhythmic
word picture of the night and the sea.
AS a Venetian impression, naturally
enshrining little of thought and much
of sensuous imagining, "Serenata Ma
gica" is a dainty fantasia. LAS of Old
is rather too suggestive of Charles
Kingsley's "Three Fishers" both in
theme and wording.
1.-THE Image Painters" finely sympa-
thetic and yet with that aloof and de-
tached quality of objective art, is the
best short poem in the collection. AN
tagonists" is a glorious exposition of
the eternal duality of life and art,
treated in a method of inclusive syn
thesis which suggests Tennyson, al
though the lines themselves are as far
as possible removed from the atmos
the late laureate might be imagined as
investing the theme. "World Sorrow"
shows the purely contemplative tri-
umphing over the lyric in the poets
style-to it's disadvantage, l believe.
"The lines, written in He'll" with Ju-
das Iscariot as the principal character
contemplated, bear the marks of over
strained construction and are some
what overweighted with epithets of ter
ror to be swiftly terrible. 1t is per-
haps the least pleasing poem in the
book.

Are the Dead Alive?

The illustrations in Fremont Riders S
Are the Dead Alive?" just published
by B. w. Dodge & Co., are so COM
plete and unusual as to be in them
selves worthy of special note. Photo
graphs of the phenomena of spiritual
ness having any claim at all to genu-
ineness are, as might be expected, a
pretty rare thing. Besides photographs
of all the more important investigators
of psychical phenomena and the most
noted mediums, Mr.. Rider has been
successful, however. in securing a re-
markable picture of the levitation of
the human body and several of table
levitation, several photographs of al
legged naturalization" and a number
of interesting examples of spirit
writing; while among the hitherto un-
published pictures, which necesitated
special trips to various parts of this
country and Europe, are series illus
trating the famous Bourne case of
dual personality, pictures of the "Wat-
seka Wonder" case of alleged angelic
possession" and the noted Bertha
Huse case of clairvoyance.

An American Novel

"A Certain Rich Man" the novel by
William Allen White which the Mac
milan company is to bring out in the
near future is, in atmosphere and plot,
purely American. There is no trace in
it of foreign influence or even of the
most cosmopolitan Atlantic seaboard.
Its scene is laid in the wheat fields of
Kansas; it's theme the busy, whole
some, aggressive life of the middle
west This material is as familiar to
Mr. White as his own name, and the
novel is the result of a lifetime of keen
observation. A kindly sympathetic
humor plays throughout the book and
softens the rugged outlines of the chief
characterize can hardly be called the
hero-a type of the self-made, dom
ineering captain of industry.
