S 49,


In a vivid, dramatic manner, Paul
Kester in His Own Country pic
lures the tragedy of mixed blood in
Virginia during the reconstruction
period after the war. 1t is the story
of DR.. Brent, the runaway slave, who,
wealthy and respected, returns to his
home in Virginia. He buys the finest
mansion in the county and with his
white wife and beautiful children he
strives to break down the barriers
which arise because of his mixed
blood.
Humiliated on all sides, he deter
mines to overcome the prejudices and
do away with the color line regard
less of everything. Drawing half of
the families of the peaceful Southern
town into the race question, he finally
allows his son to become engaged to
Polly Beckworth, the beautiful daugh-
ter of one of the artistocratic families.
When the truth is learned, the cri-
sis comes and with it the just fall of
DR.. Brent, who after all had only the
brains and courage of the negro. He
sacrifices not only himself, but his
son and daughter in the tragic ending.
The views OF the book, the great
race question. stand out clearly. AL
though the author has tried to give
both sides of the question impartially.
he has succeeded in imparting the
fact that blood will tell" that the
tragic mixture of white and black
blood is impossible.
