Mrs. Miller Is Calm

Alice Duer Miller has wrapped po-
litical tract in the sugar coating of a
romantic love story. which she calls
THE Beauty and the Bolshevist. 1t
is the tale of the sudden surrender of
the editor of Socialist newspaper in
New York to the charms of the daugh
ter Of multimillionaire. The editor
went to Newport. where the millionaire
was spending the summer. to protest
against the marriage of his brother t.
one Of the daughters. and he falls in
love with the other daughter without
knowing who she is. They meet for
the first time on raft in the ocean
in the early morning. They are on
gaged to be married before midnight OF
the same day.
Mrs. Miller makes Mr.. Cord. her
multimillionaire. a pretty sensible sort
of an American. When a young man
who wants to marry Crystal, the unat
tached daughter. denounces the radicals
and expresses his fear of revolution
Mr.. Cord refuses to be alarmed. The
point of view of the book is well sum =
married. in this brief extract from Il
conversation between Mr.. Cord and the
young man:
(which terrifies you. Eddie-Crys-
tai or the rcvOlution?"
''Thc general discontent-thc fact
that civilization is tr-"
"Oh. yes. that said Mr.. Cord
hastily. well. I wouldn't let that
terrify me. Eddie. Crystal is a good
deal of proposition. | grant you.
The revolution seems to me simpler.
If majority of our fellow country
men really want it, they arc going to
get it in spite OF you and me; and
if they don't want it they won't have
it no matter how Crystal talks to you
at parties. So cheer up. Eddie, and
have cigar.
"They can, they WILL" said Ed
die. not even troubling to wave away
the cigar this time. 'Iou don't ap-
preciate what an organized minority
of foreign agitators can do in this
country. Why, they can-"
"Well, If a minority of foreigners
can put over a revolution against
the will of the American people, we
ought to shut up shop, Eddie"
The book is not all like this. Thcfe
is much discussion Of more sentl
mental nature as the plot develops. As
a story it is of the kind that pleases
eighteen year -old girls. but they are
not in especial need of having their
opinions on the dangers of bolshevism
clarified. But there is in Mrs. Mil
ler's large public great number of
persons who need the kind Of reassur-
ance which she has given to them in
form pleasant to take.

MOrLey's Verse

A third volume Of Christopher Nor =
ley's delightful light verse has just come
from the press. He calls it "Hide and
Seek" perhaps because he plays the
game with delicate whimsies. The con =
tents of the volume are grouped under
three heads: verses. sonnets and trans
lations from the Chinese. His admirers
know what to expect from his sounets
and verses, a perfection Of form and a
facility of expression unrivaled. 1t is
in the 'translations" that Mr.. Morley
has started to work a new vein. He
has created six almond eyes poets, No
Sho. Pu'r Fish, Po Iil Chile. Sal Wen
Chu Pep Sin and o B'oi, some of whom
are familiar to the readers of this news
paper, for it was in the columns of the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER that many of
the translations first appeared. The
character of the whole is well illustrated
by Sal Wen's verses, entitled Thought
on Conversing With Prominent States
man" 1t runs:
1t Is all right for n man
To be absent minded.
But his mind shouldn't overstay
Its leave of absence.
There is a pungency and penetration
in the comments of these imaginary
poets that will delight the cynical and
cause the judicious to grieve.

FICTION AND DRAMA BY EXPERTS
DISTINCTION MARKS
O'NEILL'S DRAMAS
"Beyond the Horizon" and Sir
PlayLets Haze Intellectual
y and Emotional Honesty

Eugene O'Neill knows the sea that
lies back of that grimly dignified trag.,
edy of his "Beyond the Horizon and
the series of one-act plays called .Ihe
Moon of the Caribbees. In addition
to that knowledge he is familiar with
the speech and motives of plain people
and faithful in his reproduction OF
them.
Beyond the Horizon" which comes
like fulfillment Of the virile prophecy
Of the six shorter plays, is brilliantly
clear, fateful and tragic. Its tragedy
is the more moving because 1t is com
pounded Of the littlcness and the great.
ness in the life of a plain man with a
vision he has not the courage to fol-
low. His death is like all life, be-
cause it is at once a bitter defeat and
an unearthly triumph. All through his
life he has missed the road that leads
beyond the horizon, but at the end he
starts afresh on new road that opens
through the broad and easy way OF
death.
1t is one of those plays which is so
true to commonplace life and so clear
ly distinguished In its very austerity
that It becomes symbolic of certain
phases of all life. There are both irony
and pathos in the human inevitable
ness of the tragedy. devoid Of any art
full lift, but glorious in the end because
of its poignant truth.
This symbolic clarity and beauty of
truth is achieved not in the manner OF
Maeterlinck or the fine writer's, but BY
the inherent honesty of the author
analysis of the emotions and motives
of the folk of the play and in his unaf-
fected but affecting presentation of the
speech and movement of their daily
life. The whole thing is a splcndidly
intimate and searching photograph of
life.
THE Moon of the Caribecs' series
shows Mr.. O'Neill in different moods
of hts handling of the men of the sea
The same honesty of handling and the
sezing upon actuality. for his most
stirring effects chara, terize these plays
The play from which the collection
takes its name gives in miniature an"
less sharply the note of the magniticcni
tragedy of Beyond the Horizon.
Here again the achievement is in IN"
sincerity Of the mood of the whole
rather than in any pieces Of brilliant
writing.
Another of the set Of six, " In the
Zone" is a spirited interlude of war
time at sea.

SHOULD HARRIET PAY
PIPER FOR THE DANCE?
Kathleen Norris Novel Con-
siders Problem of Dead Past
and Quick Present

Harriet Field thought her past was
behind her, quite logically. but instead
" did what IL has habit Of doing. It
popped out into the present when Har-
rict wasn't looking and made trcach-
erous tangle of her life and Of her love.
Harriet and the Piper'' is what this
book is called. It was written by Kath-
leen Norris, whose novels generally
strike the public fancy. And this should
be no exception. The story is told dra-
matically and we'll, though It is not 50
finely written as earlier books by Mrs.
Norris. and lacks some of the realism
which won these books such popu-
larity.
Harriet Field is secretary to the wife
of the wealthy Richard Carter. Mrs.
Carter, beautiful and selfish, engages in
one Irritation too many and vanishes
from her household with young ad-
mirer. Harriet. over the opposition of
Richard Carter's mother. is installed as
the head of his household. to look after
the welfare Of his son and daughter.
And Harriet falls in love with Carter.
Blondin, poet and adventurer, ap.
pears as the suitor of the daughter, and
in him Harriet recognizes the man to
