they are. Hermann is not only a
novelist but an accomplished anti
quarian. No recent writer has so
vividly revived Il period of the past.
may finally mention volume of
stories by Jacob Wassermann. author
of '-The Worlds Illusion" The book
is called ''The Eternal Circle" and is
characterized by the brilliant pic
torialism blended with really pro-
found psychology with which Ameri-
can readers of "The Worlds Illu-
sion" are now familiar.
The field OF the drama presents
nothing striking at this particular
moment. Sudermann comes forward
with volume of three plays called
German Fate" and, of course, there
is still a large audience for him.
There is always large audience for
the things of day before yesterday.
But the German Pinero has not really
counted for years. Alfred Kerr de-
stroyed him as Jules Lemaitre de-
stroyed Georges Ohnet. Sudermann,
naturally. protested against being
destroyed. But his protest no more
than his popularity with the mob

Alfred Kerr.

Collected editions of contemporaries
are the order of the day in Germany.
Among the authors who have
achieved this distinction is Alfred
Kerr. now of the Berlin Tdoebratt,
and for many years undoubtedly the
leading dramatic critic OF his coun-
try. Kerr calls his collected writings
in five volumes THE World in the
Drama; he means that his criticism
is a record of the manner in which
the modern dramatic drama from
Ibsen to to-day-has dealt with the
visible aspects and problems that
make the world of man.
Kerr is a very original and strik-
ing stylist. who has always insisted
that criticism is not to be opposed to
art, but is. in fact, an art that ranks
with poetry or the novel or the
drama Not n few American dra-
matte critics have long known his
separate books and articles and have
found an enormous amount of infor-
nation and stimulation in them.
Such obligations are, however, recip-
rocal DIR. Kerr was in New York
for a brief visit recently. He was
here once before just previous to
the war. He told me that he found
America extraordinarily exhilarating
and inspiring. and pointed out to me
that he had written in June, 1914.
that he had fallen in love with Amer
lea and entertained the highest ex-
pectations of our cultural future. He
does so still: he asked concerning
new books. talents. plays. / took him
to see Eugene O'Neills "The Hairy
Ape at the Plymouth Theater. Both
the play and the production seemed
to him of an astonishing excellence.
and he kept repeating to me on the
way out his expression of almost
mystical faith in America. And he
is a scholar and 7cynic-sharp. pre-
else. elegant a marvellous observer.
not to be deceived by superficial
aspects. OF course he admitted that
he knew only New York. He swore
he would return and travel inland.

Gustav Frenssen.

Another recent visitor among us
was Gustav Frenssen. the novelist.

and of Holy Land" which contains
in single chapter his famous life
of Christ and should be translated
some day. Frenssen's new book is
not a novel. but it is better than
most novels. 1t consists of auto
biographical fragments and extracts
from his diary and is called-rather
unhappily, Musings" But
1t is beautiful and deep and natural
boOk-full of sincerity and of a de-
sire really to face the music of
reality. That quality is rare enough.

A PHILADELPHIAN who is an

and also a student of local

ton for his stories of Philadelphia.

and two stories in Rewards and

life of the theater and is called "The

Much more worth while is Her
mann Hesse. That he protested
against the war and withdrew to
Switzerland and is now editing the
admirable liberal magazine devoted
to intellectual reconstruction, Vivos
Voce, may be nothing in favor of his
art. 1t is distinctively in favor of
his mind. An admirable artist, one
of the most delightful among living
writer's he always was. His new
book, "Klingsor's Last Summer"
shows him at his best. There is a
delicaey in these stories. a sunny
beauty. a grace and depth of style
that make them rank with the best
things in contemporary literature
anywhere.

Rathenau as Man of Letters.

THE stormy Genoa conference
brings to the very forefront of
public attention the figure of
DIR. Walther Rathenau. All of his
books, which are now seventeen in
number. are being reissued in new
editions and eagerly bought and
read One may say that it Is charac-
teristic of the Germans to have sent
a merely bookish man to Genoa
One cannot imagine MFR. Lloyd
George the author of a shelf full of
books. Yet Rathenau is the reverse
of what, from his literary record, one
would superficially suppose. AS
president of the General Electric
Company he is clearly one of the
leading business men and admins
traitors on the Continent. A number
of his books. too, are devoted strictly
to business and financial affairs. One
deals with the question of raw ma
terials for German manufacturers:
stock market; a third with general
economic problems. But there is
another side to Rathenau. And il is
this other side that makes him. in
his present position. a rather fasci-
mating figure to those who are inter
ested in literature and philosophy. /
can bring out that fascination best
by saying: Imagine Mr.. Herbert
Hoover to have written books called
respectively. The Operations of the
Spirit" a Polemic Concerning
Faith" ITO the Youth of My Coun-
try" and imagine these books to be
at this moment in their respective
eleventh. fourteenth and twentieth
editions. Rathenau has also written
a volume called Concerning the
Things TO Come" which is in its
sixty fifth printing. as well as the
books on THE New state and the
New Society" which have been is
sued in this country. He is, in other
words. a sort of mixture of Herbert
Hoover and III. G.. Wells and Ber-
trand Russell And that mixture is
very characteristic of his country
and his generation.

Rainier Maria Rilke.

But, after all. the world of the
the world of affairs. Little has been
heard among us. except in the most
sporadic and uncertain fashion. of a
poet whose works the Insel publish
ing house of Leipzig has just issued
in five volumes that are among the
handsomest and most distinguished
looking books in the world That
poet is Rainer Maria Rilke. He is a
native OF Prague, where he was born
In 1875. From his boyhood on he
was interested in the plastic arts as
well as in poetry; he has written ex-
tensively on sculpture and was, dur
ing some years. the private secretary
of Auguste Rodin. His verse early
gained him a restricted reputation.
Gradually that reputation grew To-
day he is considered by many the
chief living poet who uses the Ger
man language. His method and
spirit should be of interest to the
growing American public that cares
for poetry. Rilke is intensely mod
ern; he is considered. and rightly so.
the precursor of the entire express
sionistic movement. It was. from the
beginning. not his intention TO de-
scribe. to render impressions in the
manner of our imagists, but to alb
sorb and recreate the world in the
likeness OF his own spirit. TIE has
never. however. used free verse. His
poems are as compact as statues;
their planes ami surfaces are as
definite and glimmering as the planes
and surfaces of marble. His inno-
yT.tions are, first. the personal inner
music of the verse. and. secondly.
the fact that he has constantly used
not only simple and humble words
other poets have done that--but the
prosaic diction of modern civilization
in such a way as to give that diction
magic and stranseness and charm.
A single poem can give but the
slightest idea of the work of an
eminent poet who has worked ere
atively for twenty-five years. Yet
even a few verses are better than
yards of description. So shall
quote Rilke's a Boys Dream" as a
brief example of his less intricate
work. i quote it. Of course. with the
warning that TRANSACTIONS of poetry
give only a faint notion of the
original.

The "Bavarian Aristophanes."

A posthumous volume by Ludwig
Thoma. THE Forester's Lad" calls
for notice. His friends and admirers
used to call Thoma the Bavarian
Aristophanes. He was queer
enough Aristophanes with his souibs
and satires in the famous magazine
impiiciSsimus, his ruthless novels
of peasant life and his prosaic plays.
But the man was a fearless teller of
the truth as he saw it, a grim yet
joyous satirist. a manly hitter of
hard blows and not little of
literary artist to boot.
