All Things to All Men

"Jurgen', which marks James
Branch Cabell's return to fiction after
a brief and successful venture into es-
say writing, is story, according to the
author. of a cosmic Casanova and of
what he found to love and marvel over
in his tour of the universe. Jurgen
travels, in search of justice and ration
ality, and incidentally of recreation,
through his own past, to the Arthurian
age of chivalry, and thence to the gal
lant island kingdom of Cocaigne, then
to traditionary Leuke, whence he des
cends into the one truly democratic
country, and later ascends into strict
ly biblical heaven; and presently come:
to Koschei who made all things as they
are, Beyond Koschei there Is, oi
course, no travelling for human beings
And what does it all mean, some one
asks. "Well," replies Mr.. Cabell
"ths is a story with precisely as many
meanings as the reader has brain cells. y
| SO there you are.

Alfred Oliuut's "7'tUo Men, a
Keen Study in FraternaI
and Social Psychology

Even In a study OF psychology. where
one would look for paragraphs measur-
ablo with yardstick, and sentences
as lnbyrinthine az an African jungle,
Alfred Ollivant keeps his paragraphs
short and his sentences crisp, and this,
though IL may seem curious, contributes
somehow to the interest Of his newest
book, 1.-TWO Men"
Described as a study In psychology,
the novel may assume a formidable as
pect TO the person who does not care to
take his reading too seriously. But
there is nothing formidable about 1.-TWO
Men" 1t is simply an intensely in
teresting, straightforward narrative of
the clashing lives Of two brothers, all
written with Mr.. Ollivant's character e
istic use of sharp, clear cut sentences,
and short incisive words.
The brothers are Ernest and Alfred
Caspar. They are the sons of q
scholarly Englishman. who married
much beneath him and whose small in T.
come is insufficient to rear his sons as
he was reared. So, though not brought
up in London. they, nevertheless. dc
velop the habit Of mind and the habi
of speech of the Cockney. But to thi,
extent only are the boys alike.
! Ernie inherits. with his father,
amiablc weaknesses, his fathers higl
traits of character. All bodily mis-
shapcn, O physical defective since birth
is twisted also in mind and soul. Thu,
the story shapes, Ernest with his gooC
| intentions, Alfred with his abnorma
and evil mind. always plotting to triT
and thwart and crush his brother to thu
very last, even when Ernest. with 8
wonderful and unselish love. seeks t
make Ruth Boam his wife.

ESTIMATE OF DUNSANY
Biography and Analysis
Blended in Mr.. BierstddtS
Book

When a book combines biography and
critical ANALYSIS as we'll as "Dunsany
the Dramatist," it can get primarily
nothing but high and responsive praise.
Mr.. Bierstadt has, indeed, accomplished
that almost miracle--of making de-
tailed study Of living author interest
ing, informative. appreciative and not
overblown. Plainly confirmed Dun
sany enthusiast, he has not permitted
this passion to blunt his Judgment.
Ergo, his volume has value in its dis
eliminating qualities. and the reier
ence value of a catalogue.
In his division of the book into char.
ters on 1.-THE Mar" His Work.
"His Philosophy" and Letters. Mr..
Bierstadt has struck happy attitude.
Picturesque personalia inform the first
chapter. Lord Dunsany and his guest
Bernard Shaw. sailing paper boats IN
the pond" will bring a smile to the
most torpid lip. and when the author
intimates that Dunsany unconsclously
sat for the portrait Of the uproarlous
Innocent Smith in Mr.. Chesterton
inomortal "Manalive," one feels that
Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett
must be. in addition to the gorgeous
mystic. Soaring human boy, and a
multiform. fascinating personality.
The chapter on the Dunsany philosoo
ply is admirable in its clear headed
ness and lack of side though not
all will agree with it. We read of Dun
sany's kinship with Lewis Carroll and
Sir James NJ Barrie (that should start
correspondence to the papers, in
deed y and of the innate esthetic quail
ity of the mans mind and work "a
beauty worship tied up with certain
old Hebrew or Egyptian quality.
IF critical arrows must be. shot al
4 this book the one first to fly woult
be the fact that Mr.. Bierstadt rather
scants consideration of the tales anC
that monumental medley, published, W.
think, as "Time and the Gods" which
is pure poetry. undetiled by the need oI
theatrical moonlight
Anyhow. here is a book. not for tht
1 Dunsanybodies alone. but for all whC
love the theatre. poetry and mani!
and vibrant personality that expresses
itself supcrbly in terms of both.
