Gilbert Cannan's Nineteenth Appearance

woman" On the contrary, ''her childish
detestation of her womanhood was gone, :"
and she accepted it and gloried In it
as her instrument" She was Ariel, "who
danced among men and played freakish
tricks upon them, and lured them on to
believe that all kinds of marvels would
come to pass and bring them back to their
senses to discover that she was after all
only woman, and that the marvels they
looked for from her we're really In them
selves"
But Clara is just the woman the play
writing genius is looking for, since in
his plays Adnor Rodd is trying to create
"the woman of the future" who "can
detach herself from her emotional ex-
perienee and accept failure, as a man
does" When Rodd meets Clara in the
anarchist bookshop he can hardly believe
his good fortune, since, as he says, II
never thought l should meet any one as
strong as myself" The account of their
first meeting and love at sight is more
romantic than is usually found in our
contemporary workaday fiction.

IS A UToMATIC" was once word
L n that boasted flavor of elias
steal erudition, but since the spread of au-
tomato fountain pens, elevators, tele
phones and lunch rooms, it has dete-
riorated into a most matter of fact prosy
expression. Hence The Hill of Vision, a
collection of automatic writings by Fred
erick Bligh Bond, F. R. l. B. A. (you
guessl, including automatic prophecy,
philosophy and metaphysics seem in no
way uncouth.
Mr. Bond has already given US The
Gate of Remembrance, another collection
of automatic writings which were con-
cerned with his. experiences III this sort
of revelation while he was engaged in
archaeological work at the ancient abbey
in Glastonbury, England. The Hill of
Vision, however, deals with a more inn
portant subject containing prophecies
of the beginning and ending of the war
with Germany and much other material
on the social, moral and political re-
generation of the world which is to fol
low and in which we are, presumably,
now somewhat painfully involved.
There is no attempt on the part of
Mr. Bond or of Ralph Adams Cram, who
contributes a preface and postscript, to
fasten the responsibility for the writ
ings on any particular sphere, plane or
other realm of incorporeal beings, though
Caesar Augustus, Imperator ct Pacifea-
tor, implicates himself by signing some
of the prophecies. As matter of pure
ly historical interest We mention that
Augustus proves himself bad tempered
ghost. But whoever, or whatever, the
shadowy guide of the subliminal pen
may have been, Mr.. Bonds book pre-
sents the attested fact that on March 13,
1918, eight days before the beginning
of the Kaiser's battle, the automatic
author declared that the war would end
by autumn of that year. Further proph-
eaes extending through July, 1918,
were justified by events.
These foretellings furnish excellent

women as about the war. However, what
the playwright particularly likes in Clara
is the way she says ''the Old instead, as
most people, ''the yOld." Having a
nice ear for English, it would be interest
ing to know how Rodd likes "give it you,'
and Everybody was gay and lively but
they two" and "again there was moth
ing but they two" or mo one mattered
but She" which are unlOvely to say the
least, even if some mental reservations on
the part of the reader could make them
endurable

The information is given that MGmmery
is Gilbert Cannan's nineteenth novel. And
yet novel readers could probably enumer-
ate the Fourteen Points sooner than Mr..
Cannans nineteen novels The truth IS
Gilbert Cannan is one of those fortunate,
or it may be unfortunate, individuals
whose personality seems TO count for more
than his books. Everybody knows that
he married Barrie's daughter and is a
conscientious objector and is a good look
ing young man who writes fiction that
perhaps looks, so to say, better than It
actually is. Canaan will always be named
among the more serious of the younger
English nOvelists, yet his stories are
seldom as interesting as they promise to
be, and look as if they ought to be, and
make no deep impression. The lack must
be more in his ideas and his imagination
than in his actual story telling, which
always has interesting features and Is
not commonplace. The description of
the Imperium Theatre in the present story,
with its actor manager who has a "Sir"
to his name, is excellent. But the geniuses
are largely conventions, and the heroine
is a thesis-the latter, however, clothed
with some charm.
Still another novel by Mr.. -Cannan is
announced for the early fall, the twentieth
by the present count, called -Rink Roses,
and emhodying the authors well adver-
tised views ON the war. As an advance
antidOte to, Pink Roses may be recon-
mended Anne Douglas Sedgwick,s story in
the August Atlantic, called AxfxssB
CrocLses, which seems directly addressed
to our young war satirists, particularly
the poets. In Mrs. de Selincourt's story,
the soldier poet who had fondly believed
his war poems to be soaring, seorching,
terrible and even wicked, if one would, is
shocked into speeehlessness when his lady
critic, who has been through, some war
on her own account, gently calls them
