What to Read ir Summer.

A tradition which is really a super
stition has tied up light reading with
daylight saving reading, tied up vaea
tion fiction with more or less vacant
fiction The man who starts out for
two weeks upon desert island is
nowadays invited to take with him
the twenty worst books he can think
of. Yet experience would show that
good many heavy books are read
in summer. A great many more
would be read if people followed in
clination instead of prescription.
A warm day in the hammock is pre-
cisely the time to tackle Bryce on
democracy, or William Beebe on jun
gle peace. What is needed for serious
reading Is, of course, concentration;
and the best time for concentration is
a hot, humid day in the country when
all the motor facilities are stalled,
when man hunts for breath of air
and finds it not Thus driven back
upon his own littleness in a universe
full of Fahrenheit, he is in the prop
er state of receptivity for fairly high
and fairly serious thought. Summer
and the country obviously offer that
escape from distractions which town
and winter surround us with. Vaca
ton offers that sense of plenty of
time ahead which one needs before
embarking upon long and serious
book.
There are entire classes of light fic-
ton which do not fit into the summer

which the riders of the Wild western |
ranges sweep on to duty, fortune, and
love. 1t induces Indifference to the
great Canadian spaces over which the
mounted police go through their mag
nificent performances. Heroics pale !
down in the glow of summer after
noon.
Ghost and detective stories are quite
out of the question. The necessary
setting is absolutely not there. "A Wis
itor from the Beyond, glimpsed
through the green leaves, would mere
ly suggest young woman coming
back from tennis, which may be in
teresting enough, but in quite a diff
ferent way. Tales Of murder and mys
terry are inconeeivable. For that we
need a quiet winter hour, long, dark
hall through which one must walk tol

her to spend six months year with

swered in the George Fitzmaurice
production of Paying the Piper"
which will be the featured attraction
at Moore's Garden Theater all week

In order to present this girls case
truthfully. Ouida Bergere, the au-

human and dramatic situations. In
the end, one feels satisfied that the
outcome Is exactly what would seem
to be logical. Dorothy Dickson,
heretofore seen only as dancer Ia
many New York productions, is the
heroine. others in the cast include
such favorites as George Fawcett,
Robert Schable, Alma Tell, Reginald

Cecil b. de Miles announcement of
a program of wide variety in theme
and staging" in the annual trio OF
productions which bear his name is

Something To Think About" marks
a distinct departure from any OF it's

around an entirely new theme and
containing many instances OF staging

opulently magnificent scenic back

the prevailing note throughout
In forbidden Fruit" which begins
its second week at Loew's Columbia
tomorrow, Mr.. De Mile has swung to
the other extreme. Stage settings,
which are said to exceed anything
previously attempted in the matter OF
opulence and lavish beauty. are now
the order of the day.
These scenic triumphs represent the
initial screen work of Paul Chalhn.

Much OF the action of forbidden
Fruit" takes place In the home of a
multi-millionaire oil operator. This
circumstance permits of wide range
In the interior scenes of these inn
portant episodes of the story.
Another factor which contributes to
the lavish beauty of this production
is the necessity of contrast with an
other home which serves as the
original background for the chief
feminine character.
Not only are there to be many Law
ish modern sets in the finished pro-
duction but there is also to be an
interpolated fairy vision which Is
scheduled to be the most sumptuous
thing of its kind ever attempted.

Variety Is to be the keynote said
Mr.. de Mile. And he will keep his
word
