Dresser on Himself

BOOK ABOUT MYSELF BY Theodore
Dresser. Boni & Liveright.

A BOOK ABOUT MYSELF. BY Theodore
Dresser. Boni & Liveright.
"A LTHOUGH this volume covers a
~ scant five years, the period of it's
authors connection with news
paper work. it faithfully lives up to its
title every moment of the time Mr.. Dresser
talks about himself so diligently and with
such drastic candor that the average self
respecting reader has at times a shame
faced sense of having tapped a private
wire or inadvertently opened the wrong
bedroom door. But Mr.. Dresser himself
remains throughout it all untroubled. and
as untouched by any hesitancy as to ques-
tionable ethics or bad taste as a court
stenographer or the compiler of a medi-
cal dictionary.
The annals of his newspaper career-or
to be more accurate. the annals of Theo-
dOre Dresser apropos of his newspaper
career-naturally occupy the greater bulk
Of these pages; but they are largely in
terspersed with the sentimental adventures
Of an amorous adolescence. He tells us
naively that in those callow days his
thoughts were always with the other
sex; that at the mere idea of meeting d
girl he frightened and that the one thing
he most craved TO do was to shine as
lover" We meet a long and confusing pro-
cession of girls. chiefly distinguished as
critics while coyly telling Mr. Dresser that
he is "wanton" and forward" and whom
he himself groups according to their rela-
tive reluctance 10 sit in his lap His chief
trouble seems 10 have been that he wanted
both to eat and to keep his cake we find
him frankly wishing that he could marry
some well placed girl without assuming
the stern obligations of matrimony" The
one figure who fingers at all in the memory
is Alice. to whom Mr. Dresser seems to
have been engaged for many months. and
whom for a while he half decided that
he would marry" She even planned hel
wedding trousseau. and discussed their
future apartment near the lake. Il prom
ised her happy days TO come but even as
I said it 1 knew it would not be. I did
not think 1 could build life on my sal
ary I did not know that wanted
to. Life was too wide and full" So pres
emily Mr. Dresser moves on from Chicago
to st. Louis. and Alice is just another cpl
sode left behind him. But he prints one
of her futile immature and pathetic letters
in which she talks of silver moons. and
wishes she was dead.
The newspaper life here pictured would
be enjoyable if it were not spread so thin
and IL there were more Of il. and less OF
Theodore Dresser. AS it stands one brings
away the memory of just three episodes
two great beats" and one monumental
discontinue. The first of these was when
he killed politically the Democratic candi-

won the Curtis Marine flying trophy
here yesterday with an average speed
for the eight 20-mile laps of 1926

Lieut.. H. A. Elliott, Navy, won sec
ond place; Lieut.. l.. H. Sanderson, of
the Marine Corps. won the prize for
the best average speed in the air.

vering feats required was that at the
end of the fifth. sixth and seventh
laps each pilot should bring his ma
chine down to the water and taxi over
1,200-foot stretch before making a
