Books

Honesty Is increasing among novel
lists. New authors seem to have a pas
sion not only for the truth but the
whole truth. Among these flaming
figures Is Catherine Carswell with her
first book, "Open the Door" (Har-
court, Brace e. Howc). 1t seems to us
fine and stirring book, and yet the
reader cannot have this much desired
whole truth without paying price.
We once knew man who would take
you at your word if you CHANGED to
ask, "Well, what did you do to-day %
Before he had done you knew the
corner where his shoes were shined
and the hour. He held back nothing
of what had happened in the morning
at the office, and he was also ready to
make q full confession of the lunch
which followed. Nor did he neglect
the afternoon and the trip home on
the 5:19.
Miss Carswell has keen eyes, but
she must learn to close them, too.
There are times when the observer
should shut up shop, step upon his
magic carpet and be whired away
over fiat lands to the hills. Then he
can go on with his story. To be sure.
there may be jolts in such Journey
ings; they may jar the texture Of
life, but after all it is better for the
novelist to skip a little now and then
than the reader.
There are times when "Open the
Door" touches our keenest interest,
but then there are slack spots, and
only the fine promise Of what has
gone before carries US on. We do
want the whole truth, but some of it
should be told very fast. Probably
we are too exacting In our demand
for pace. We realize that not every
novel can begin with, "'Hell,' said tho
duchess" And yet we regret It. With
the single exception Of Miss Zona
Gales "Miss Lulu Bett" we have read
no book in six months in which we
too man words. We have no desire
to defend our feeling as sound. Our
taste has been impaired by seeing life
too much through newspaper head
lines and reading accounts of things
in which the formula of tell the story
in the first paragraph" has been fol-
lowed. Perhaps our quarrel is with
life. A good many people do live and
move and talk in such q way as to
carry on into the advertisements in
the back pages. In years we may learn
patience. We must. 1t is too much
to hope that the fine novels of the
future will be written by cantakerous
copy readers.

We never lost interest in Joanna
as long as she was falling in love or
out of it, Miss Carswell has handled
all this business with insight and
ardor. The passions of her charac-
ters come from within. The reader
never hears any wretched clanking of
steam pipes. We are not always in
sympathy with Joanna's choices. In
early life she was too much addicted
to masterful men. Personally we
liked Bob, her first love, but he did

''Anne of Green Cables" Thursday
Mary Miles Minter in an adaptation of
the well known story "Anne of Green
Gables" is just the kind of picture a
mother will want her children to see and
the husband want his wife to see. And
we think the whole family will enjoy it
together and leave with many kind re-
marks about canine of Green Gables"
The story of the play is as follows:
When Anne Shirley, an orphan, first comes
to live in the household of Marilla Cuth-
bert and her brother Matthew, she is not
overly welcome and the sharp tongue of
Marilla often causes Anne great u1happi-
ness. But as she grows up she blooms
and ere long she is the village belle.
When Matthew dies she becomes school
teacher to take care of blind Marilla
And eventually she marries the most
eligible young man in town, a young and
prosperous physician.

"Tbe Fortune Hunter" Friday.

AS play "The Fortune Hunter" won
fame from coast to coast 1t has drawn
capacity houses in about every city in
the country and is always favorite We
hicle for stock companies. The film ver-
sion has a much wider range. Scenes
that were impossible to stage owing to
the limitations of paint, canvas and time
are included in the perturbation. The
natural scenery, the rural atmosphere and
the accurate eye of the camera give a
force and beauty to the action that is
otherwise impossible. The story in itself
is one of absorbing interest. 1t is the
type that is ever popular with old and
young because it idealizes youthful aspir-
atoms and achievement.
1t is only fitting that such feature
should have an actor of Earle Williams
caliber in the stellar role. His frank
counteuance, his iovial disposition, his
clean cut features and splendid physique
are typical of the American youth.

THE Very Idea" Saturday.

Taylor Holmes will come Saturday in
his newest, funniest comedy, ''The Very
Idea," adapted to the screen from the
New York comedy success by William
LeBaron.
Those who still are chuckling over the
comedians last appearance, in Nothing
But the Truth" will have in this most
recent production an attraction which is
utterly different, except that it is fully
as hilarious and diverting.
Mr.. Holmes will be seen as Gilbert
Goodhue, a young husband who has been
pampered all his life and who finds, after
his marriage, that his wife is of the same
sort. The thing they both want above
all things is baby and doctors have as
sured Gilbert that Edith is too frail
There are so many babies in the world,
grown up and otherwise, that it would
seem on first thought an easy matter to
get Que of them without its being missed.
But the story of "The Very Idea" bellies
this assumption. Edith's brother, an
authority on eugenics, comes to the res
cue confidently. That is only the start
of the trouble. What follows forms one
of the most absurdly funny, yet none the
less human and appealing comedies ever
written.
