That an least IS the impression
given 6y Sinclair Lewis. author Of
"Na.n Street" IN a rather scolding
speech which ne delivered here 20 a
group OF English authors. publishers
actors and dramatists.
Lewis who is i1 England writing
another novel caused somewhat Of a
sensation when he was introduced
a o speaker ar an informal gather
ing az an exclusive Bohemian club.
for he failed 20 dispense the usual
hands across the seas patter which
PIeases. Instead ne read a sort OF
literary riot act 70 the English intel

Stacy Aumoaier. widely known IN
tho British literary circles. was IN
the chair. He gasped. The club
members who had epplauded Lewis
when he was introduced were as
founded and lapscd into a collective
daze while the fiery red-headed
American author proceeded IN his
scoldinR announcement Of the man
ner IN which Great Britain IS receiv-
ing the written art Of America. Lew
e was listened 20 attentively. but It
IS needless TO say that the club
members did not exert themselves
with applause when he finished, and
he was followed by a japanese poet
who sensed the atmosphere and at
tempted to smooth matters over by
q liberal tribute 20 Great Britain's
appreciation OF world literature.
There were threats OF a denuncia-
ton Of Lewis by some members OF
the club and Chairman Aumonier

The British dramatsts were loud
in their disclaimers OF any ban
