"The White Flame"

BY Luke North Published at the Golden
press. 22O North Hancock street, Los An
geles Price 81.
The white Flame" is play in four
acts by new author. 1t is based upon
the idea of reincarnation and is IDEAL
istic throughout. The first act is laid
! in early Egypt, when the pyramids
were new and human motive was less
mercenary, when religion and philoso-
ply were one and did not claim to be
other than the explanation of life and
nature
In this time meet Alessandro, a neo-
phyte and pupil of a wise teacher. and
Judith, virgin of the temple. They
love, and the tie that binds them is so
strong that 1t lasts through many lives
and deaths. This first act is decidedly
the best of the four The author has
succeeded admirably in conveying the
mysticism and unreality of the distant
ages to his readers, and at the same
time the beauty OF the theory of re-
incarnation is made clear and inter-
esting.
The second act shows these two
lovers in a modern setting-today.
They meet IN an Egyptian room of a
Mrs. Merton Blake, a famous collector
OF Egyptian relics. She has reproduced
exactly the old temple where Judith
and Alessandro met centuries before,
not with any intent, but because she
is Interested In matters Egyptian, and
through this Interest has taken UP the
study of ancient mystic religions.
Everything in this modern life con-
spifes to separate the lovers. judith
is married--unhappily tied by
sense of duty. Soon, however. Judith
and Alessandro are able to reiinquish
the physical expression of their attach
ment and communicate each with the
other through their souls. Their under
standing is perfect and. though Ales-
sandro may be in Egypt or India and
Judith on the other side of the world,
they seem to be in constant and beauti-
full communion.
Z The. last act is almost too mystical
for the reader not UP in theospphical
expressions and teachings. Many-too
many--technical expressions are used.
quite unfamiliar to the layman. and
make the reading and understanding
Of 1t somewhat difficult.
AS whole, however. the play is an
artistic piece of work and deserves
much praise.

different from the authors previous

"The Writing on the Wall"
BY Edward Marshall. Published by G
Dillingham; company, New York.
81 so

BY Edward Marshall Published by g. W.
DilIingham company, New York. Price
The novelized drama is with us again.
This time the story in founded on Miss
Olga Nethersole's great play, The
Writing on the Wall" by William j.
Hurlbut, and has been done into a
book by Edward Marshall There are
many arguments against the novelized
play. but none of them appears to be
reasonable Many people even in the
large cities where the play was pro-
duced did not have an opportunity to
see 1t, and now that the tale is told
in book form it is within the reach
of everybody
In the opening chapter of the book
we see the picture of New York life
from the highest to the lowest strata.
Irving Lawrence is a tenement house
landlord on a large scale and people
who know New York can discover his
prototype easily. Lawrence is a fair
sample of the world in which he lives
He is in love with Barbara Barcalow,
beautiful society girl, but he has a
quiet little apartment somewhere in
=.
Delatour. who threatens to make
trouble If her allowance is cut off, An
unsuccessful suitor for Barbara's love
is Lincoln Schuyler, and ii is not diffi-
cult to guess at the identity of the
ardent reforTher from whom his char
acter is drawn.
Schuyler interests Barbara in tene-
ment house reform, but his sense of
honor keeps his lips sealed as to the
ownership of the worst ones In the city
When, in the course of events. Barbara
discovers her husbands unfaithfulness
and her own unhappiness she almost
turns to Schuyler, who loves her un-
selfshly, but is deferred by the thought
of her little boy, who is the one bright
spot in her life.
The great climax OF the story is in
the description OF the tenement house
FIRE. during which husband and wife
are sitting at home in great unhap-
piness and quarreling bitterly, not
knowing that the little son whom
they both so love is being burned TO
death in this same FIRE; and, tragedy OF
tragedies made worse by rotten and
condemned fire escapes, which Law
renee had had painted to deceive his
wife.
The book reveals the dreadful state of
things existing In the tenement districts
OF New York and calls attention again
to the notorious Trinity church scandal.
which amazed all the United States a
few years ago. The author calls a
spade a spade without hesitation and
has made his story nelodramatic in
it's sensational intensity. 1t bears the
mark of having been written very hur-
riedly, as there are number of care
less spots In IL. On the whole how
ever, Ii has strength and will be en-
joyed by many.

The opening paragraph of this book
Is an earnest of what the reader may
expect in the succeeding chapters:
The story of the United States is
that OF q series of frontiers which the
hand of man has reclaimed from ma
ture and the savage, and which cour-
age and foresight have gradually trans
formed from desert waste to- viriie
commonwealth. 1t is the story of one
long struggle, fought over different
lands and by different generations, yet
ever repeating the conditions and epi-
sodes of the last period in the next.
