Current Literature (December).
 The puzzling figure of Disraeli, the Sphinx of the Victorian Era, combined with the thrilling dramatic recital of 8 chapter in the history of the Suez Canal, largely accounts for the startling sue cess of Louis Nap6len Parker's latest play of international intrigue. The fact that so skillful an actor Arliss lends his peculiar temperament to the portray al of the titular hero. completes the play
 goer's fascination. MT. Parker, if success makes the playwright, walks certainly well at the head of the dramatic pro- fession. Maude Adams still plays in his adoption of "Chanticler;" "Pomander Walk after prolonged run in the East el1 metropolis continues to charm on the road, Viola Allen is rehearsing an- other play from his fertile pen, and his literary bag is by no means empty Of tricks. In spite of gross errors Of judg- Inent and technique, in spite moreover, of ludicrous contortions of circumstance to suit the playwrights needs faults IS evident in 'Disraei" as they were fin "Pomander Walk''-Mr. Parker possesses certain winning human qualities as an author which, in the minds of the public, balance his artistic transgressions. The present play, which we reprint by per mission of the publishers from advance sheets, bears on it's hy-eaf the endors- ment of the Drama League of America and is dedicated to Arliss The author insists in little Introductory note that "Disraelir is not an historical play, but only an attempt to show picture of the days-not so very long ago--in which Dis raeli lived, and some of the racial, social and political prejudiees he fought against and conquered. Having thus disarmed the historian, MT. Parker at once embarl,s upon the high seas Of imperial politics.

acle, wherein on December II, 1910 the
 last page of the evening papers in Paris contains no printed matter, there are
 blank spaces also on other pages. No-
 body knows the reason, least of all the Journalists themselves. A large reward is offered to anyone who will divulge the secret. Many wild conjectures are
 thrown out. They prove themselves
 groundless. Then a clue is found noth-
 ing but real facts are appearing in the daily press. Everything that is false. all
 praise that Is paid for, everything that l is not honorable, is omitted. This means that there is not single advertisement,
 no stock quotations, no politics, no notes l on social scandals. Things go from bad to worse, until almost the whole of every paper is blank. Commerce is at a stand- still There are already signs of incip- lent panic when, on December A. a small announcement appears in the early
 morning editions It explains everything and reads as follows: "The Son of God | has no need of advertisement He is staying at LHOTEL DIES TROIS ROIs
 on LA PLACE DE LEToILE. He will l receive, from midday to midnight all day
 long this 14th day of December, and to- morrowi"
 From here on the story is a reverent and realistic picture of how Christ would deal with our modern. icy culture, our preference for statistics to ideals, our
 mad rush for pleasure and money, our
 worship of Science instead of Deity. of
 the huddled horizons with which we herd in our lives. The actual underlying
 charge of the book is against the dis honesty of the shabby conventions by
 which so much of society is held to- gether. The sales, which are called mar
 riages, the theft which is termed business
 shrewdness, the crushing tyranny of cap tains of industry and the equally crush ing tyranny of socialism.
 Between December II and 24 Christ has so disrupted the machinery of modernity
 by his savings and doings that the French government is panic stricken. On Christmas Day. significantly enough the Prefect of Police and the President of the Republic find it necessary to request Him to leave their country. Ten days l of Christs actual presence in a Christian
 country have proved sufficient to produce
 the tragedy which required three years
 for it's accomplishment in Galilee.

ThEBO0K. SHELF
By THE BIBLI0PHILE

THE MAINTAINING QL EST RES
 SUSCITE0
 REVIEWED FOR THE BOOK
 SHELF BY. REV. J. T. PLUNKETT,
 OF THE HIGHLAND AVENUE
 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
 By Charles Morice. Translated by John
 \. Raphael. The George Doran Com
 pany, New York.
 THE REAPPEARIN0 is surprising first of all because of its author. Charles Morice has so far been known as a writ, CT on art subjects for the eclectic. He himself is a priest of the artificial, self centered culture which he condemns in his powerful satire. This Is not the kind of novel that we would have expected either from France or from Charles Mo- rice. His countrymep did not expect 1t.
 It is a book of different spirit and a different purposes from much of our modern fiction. It tells the story in serious and dramatic fashion of how Christ reappeared in Paris from Decem- Der IA to Christmas Day, 1910. A year or so since, it was a popular fad to question "If Christ should come to Bir- mingham?'' If Christ should come to our church?' Many such books were limited to some one ethical purpose. The .purposes of Charles Morice is more than that, it is to confront modern society not with Christ's teaching merely, but with Christ himself. It is Pilate being Judged by Jesus-the cold intellectuality and selfshness of the twentieth century on trial before faith and compassion. It is a daring indictment of the ethical and social standards of modern society. Paris is the place selected for Christs return, because culture Cat least pseudo culture) is the religion of the western world, much as religion was and still is the culture of f 7rient. When Christ came to the East. He came to Palestine, the center of religion; when he comes to the West, He appears in Paris, the center of culture. We shrink as much as anyone from any reference or use of the name or personality of Jesus Christ, in any connection or spirit. that smirlSs of irrev- terence or familiarity. but such is not the temper or intention of this book. Its spirit is reverent, it's tone is serious its object to awaken the conscience. Tn eight well written chapters the story tells itself naturally, in a mixture of drama and journalism. It is the journal istic touch that gives 1t extreme vfvid- 1ty. It is recorded as though it were the record of recent and well snowr events The leading characters are news paper men; it is through their eyes thai we watch the unfolding of the strange and startling recitation. Eight chapters comprise the Table of Contents. In tho First Chapter we have The Modern Mir

 After this had been going on for several Seasons he happened to get hold of Powerful Work, written by a Popular Novelist (unmarried), who made a psychological Dissection of a Woman's Soul and then preached a Funeral Sermon over the Dead Love that once blossomed in the Heart of the Heroine.

 "Chauffeurs'' are very convenient arti- cles of furniture in these days of motor ing, but when they are converted in to
 "confdantes.' why that's another story, .
 as Kipling would say.
 Anyway that is what MT. Craig Schuy- Ter does when he suffers the indignity to
 Miss Ellen Sutphen by retailing his troubles to his chauffeur, which at the same time prompts us to ask ourselves the question as to why she tamely sub Inits to such outrageous treatment espe- cially when she is so high spirited. But that is precisely what happens early in the story, T Fasten Bracelet and 1t is the mans side of the story. of course, and he is perfectly honest in believing 1t is Just that way"
 Not until the very end, when the reader is fathoms deep in sympathetic thrills over the trials of the captivating heroine,
 does that young woman make any state ment whatever as to ''her side" of the story, whereupon everything is changed.
 MT. Potter has put to gether T Fasten A Bracelet" in a fairly clever manner, and it is decidedly well invented but he cannot possibly expect any of his readers
 to agree with him that his hero is man of strong character or even chivalrous, but rather a cad and bullyAin fact, de- cidedly so.
 The story is certainly unusual, and one of the attractive features about 1t is that tnearly everything takes place out of doors. AMONG THE BEAUTIFUL CHRIST MAS BOOKS AND OTHERWISE. THE SPEED OF HOLLAND" With | many illustrations from photographs by
