of which we are blocks, perfect integral
forms.' 1t is his sense of this unity
that Mr.. Frank has tried to convey in
the matter and structure Of "Rahab.'
"This idea has been making slow
invasion upon modern thought for

is no sudden, sporadic development.
People look at new forms Of art with
child!ike simplicity at times-as
though to say here il some strange
new product that springs, like Gar
gantua, full grown and infinitely
grotesque out Of the artists mind But
this does not happen.
Modern scientists recognize the un-
the fourth dimension on thought, and
hence on lie. The same perception
pervades art-the perception of life
existing in new dimension, the di-
which to move about, dimension In
which consciousness may deepen and
widen. This is truly the function Of
art--to open mysterious vistas, to bare
unknown horizons, not merely to re-
feet that which is already here"
There is an artistic movement in
Europe called EXpressionism, the CEN
ter Of which is in the new German
drama. lts exponents and Mr.. Frank
have not little in common.
But MI Frank is in no hurry to ex
plain Or classify himself "Rahab does
not need explanation (Which can only
blur it," he says. at needs all open

presses a dictum which might we'll be-

.'ait OF Whitman as that Of literary
on ideat ational ancestor.
Certainly he lacks completely tho
boldness Of the man with whom his
Publishers seek comparison. Whitman
az least was fortnight and unashamed;
Frank uses language, svowedly English,
for purposes of concealment. BY the

thinks to turn the genteel from the

AS it is. he has coaked sordid
story in twin wells. His phraseology
and his narrative technique conceal his
plot from all but the most determined
eye. And when that eye, having per
sisted, assays its find, the laugh is
with Mr. Frank. II is known fact

novel; it is simplicity itself, after the
reader, near the last page, discovers
what it is all about. Following the
path OF Mr.. Franks narrative. the
reader experiences n dual auassation
similar to that afforded by those thick
Coney Island stairways which move
simultaneously in two directions. To
those who crave titillation Of this sort

A Nd his idea of Amercanizaton, of
the assimilation of the foreigner,
is not, of course, shared by the COM
munity. mericanization to most
Americans is an acceptance without
caVil OF America as it is--"if you
don't like this country 90 back where
you came from"--so it is not difficult
to understand why DR.. Lewisohn's con-
ception of assimilation is not greeted
with cheers when he asks:
"Assimilation to what To what
homogeneous culture, to what folk
ways Of festival and song, to what com
mon instincts concerning love and
beauty. to what imaginative passions,
to what roads OF thought? We have
none such that can unite US"
That, of course. is not the general
idea Of Americanizaton and hardly
calculated to excite the approval Of
either the National Security League or
the American Legion. However. we
dare say that DR.. Lewisohn is not par
ticulsrly interested in securing the ap-
proval of those organizations and might
be rather delighted il they became
angry-as they will become if they
read his book. Still, it is an interest
