CITY BLOCK. BY Waldo Frank, Pr
vateiy published by the author.
WIZ YALDo FRANK has the gift
w q ,s,,s making i, -. tn, .: .e'' sis's
than our own flesh md
blood. He knows how 10
sum up in one flaming phrase the
dreams and fongings of lifetime.
In his last book, "City Block" he tears
through all the surfaces that hide the
inner motivation Of his characters ill
soul of his people.
A passionate search for reality throbs
in the hearts of oil the people that
live on City Block. 1t is this unceas-
ing search to find the rcason for
existence that unites into an invisible
oneness the priest, the prostitute, the
drunkard, the dreamer, the teacher
the bootblaek, the childish woman
longing for child. and the abstract
thinker trying to think out his
thoughts.
Through the hopes and fears Of the
people OF the block. through love,
through death, through birth. through
JOY and through pain, Waldo Frank
reveals the terrible loneliness Of our
lives and the oneness OF us all in our
| loneliness. All the barriers of race
and class and creed, the distances that
divide the educated and the ignorant.
the rich and the poor, the prejudiccs
and MISUNDERSTANDING that shut US
out from getting close TO people dis
solve like mist as we come TO see the
hidden struggle going on in the beast
Of the least person Of the Block When
"Paolo Benati Speaks" we feel that
the longing to live, the urge for self
expression of the most insignificant
bootblack is a drama within "A larger
drama of which all of us are part.
CITY BLOCK is dramatization of
~ those vivid, crucial moments in in
dlvldual lives when they become dimlv
aware of the mystical togetherness
that unites each to all Waldo Frank
sees life, our consciousness in all its
varying forms upheld by an Invisible
power. We know the full force Of this
invisible power in supreme moments of
revelation. In cur everyday existence
we get so lost in the mere struggle 20
survive that we lose sight Of the higher
world OF which we are part. But in
time OF spiritual upheaval, in moments
Of tragedy or flashes of triumph the
veil of our isolation suddenly breaks
open. We see we belong belong 20
something bigger and vaster than the
one little life in which the accident Of
circumstance has imprisoned us.
r The people on the Block that are
the loneliest are those who are forever
running away from themselves. Through
the life Of John Dawson. Frank shows
us that the man who has the strength
to face himself, the man who has the
courage to lose himself in the untrod-
den wilderness of his soul eventually
finds himself, finds his relationship TO
the people around him

That's just about the way literary
censorship would work If Mr.. Sum

But your books are not the sort

Mr.. Beach had no training for au-

at Delmonico's is simple mat

Gold" marks his return to his first love
the novel-after devoting himself for
the last few years to writing and pro-
ducing motion pictures.
"a lot of people say that writing for
the screen spoils STYLE" he said. 81
think motion picture writing is the
most maddening work an author can
undertake. The most terrible thing to
read and write is a continuity, as it's
nothing but dull, dead stage direction.
But certain amount is good training
for a fellow. 1t gives him continuity
or plot construction. When you set
out to dramatic a story you'd be sur
prised to find how many holes and gaps
it has in its plot"
To sum up Mr.. Beach's experience,
writing for emotion pictures is harder
than novel writing, although it is not
more difficult. He was very careful to
emphasize the last point.

seem that England has altered greatly

eligible man, Sir Francis Holt by

of no less than three marriageable
ladies, the same chorus of gossip and

and the detrimental mother whom Miss
Austen employed more than once.

formula evidently possesses a certain
intrinsic merit, placid charm of its
own. 1t soothes; and need one always
be agitated? Only English authors
seem to possess that agreeable sopor-
ific quality, to be able to write pleas
ingly about nothing much. And in
view of the number of books of this
