MERRY PRESS AGENT
Jimmy Martin. Of Fresh Every
Hour" Is Not Too Brash and
Has Adiectiyes Galore

The glories, gayeties and gags OF
the press agent are celebrated glowingly
and nmus.ingly by John Peter Toohey
In Fresh Every Hour" (BOni 4
Liveright). Jimmy Martin is compla-
cent but not Snug, nonchalant but not
fresh, ingenious but hardly ingenious.
Mr.. Toohcy pictures him with preci :
sion, but with sympathy too.
Jimmy's adventures include wooing
OF stage struck maiden. his passages
with lbsen which caused low sad means
from the highbrows. his Illustration OF
an Oriental fakir's designs on some
millions attached to a sentimental
American girl. and his fomenting OF
revolt and violence among group OF
Polyncsian islanders who were the chief
exhibit of n summer park-all to get
into the public prints. Did he get in ?
He did. Jimmy has everything. Ex-
cept dignity. And he doesn't need that
In his pursuit--thc pursuit of the free
column of space. or II not three columns
two sticks.
Mr.. Toohey's book is really set OF
short stories, linked together by com
mon theme and some continuing char
acters. The figure of Jimmy is very
realistic and belevabe and the others
while bit sketchy, are by no means
lacking In genuine quality. The plots
are highly ingenious and the narrative
never pauscs in its briskness of pace

VICNOLLES DOES WHAT
REST OF US WANT TO DO

vignollcs, the hero of Albert Kin
ross '"The Truth About Vignolles"
(The Century Company, is the kind of
an adventurer which most Of US dream
of becoming. The difference between
Vignolles and the rest of us is that he
had the nerve to do what he wanted and
the rest of us haven't.
He is an Englishman with a French
name who has wandered about all parts
of the world, east and west, learning
about all sorts of men and women in the
course of series of adventures, the
story of six of which Mr.. Kinross tells
in this volume. The first is about how
Vignolles managed to get into active
service in the British Palestine expe-
dition, although he was too old to be
allowed to 60 as an officer. He dis
appeared from the camp on the night
before the expedition started and 1t was
not until two years later that his story
became known. Mr.. Kinross has him
tell it to an old friend, sitting on a
park bench In London. Others Of his
adventures came before and after this
one. But they are all told with tho
brilliance of gifted weaver of tales.
If Mr.. Kinross will write more about
Vignolles, he will be sure to find readers
anxious to follow him wherever he may
lead them, confident that the hero will
play the man in whatever straits he may
be caught.
