pIished by Nazimova in her Metro

obtain the desired effects, even on
the big stages at Metros Hollywood

Director Ray Smallwood called
upon Santa Monica's fire department
and Metros entire electrical depart

possibilities. A usually unfre-
Quented street in the beach city was
selected for the scene. a huge group
Of powerful lights and a portable
electric plant were concentrated in
the street. and all the water power

messed for the task Of producing rain.

cepted.

play a large part among the bookA
But for many reasons they are not
sufficient. 1t is books like this one
just written by Mr.. Masters that
enable man like myself, for in
stance-American by residence OF
thirty years. and yet at times un.
willingly made conscious of my for
eign birth-to wander back into the
years when l was not here and live
them over again as il really had
been here at the time, or as If, at
least, had learned about them from
father and mother, from relatives
and friends, from school histories
and school gossip, and from a thou
sand other sources of information
available only to the child growing
up in the country of his ancestors.
If, as ] believe, Children of the Mar
ket Place does this, then little moro
need be said in recommendation of it
But there is more. There are pic
lures and characterizations and
flashes Of deep human insight.
There are innumerable little details
that bring back to US the days that
are NO more, and that also please US
in themselves, for their own sake,
because they call forth on our mental
retinas portraits and scenes as vivid
as any that we have beheld with our
bodily eyes-nay, more vivid and
significant, in fact, because nlumined
by the additional light of the authors
interpretations. To Illustrate what
1 have in mind, I will just quote this
passage drawn from James Miles by
the vision of Lincoln at the end OF
the latter's debate with Douglas for
the Illinois Senatorship-a debate
that ended with the defeat of Linz
coin:
Here in this warped and homely
face, his face out of the womb Of
poverty and sorrow, the winter lone
illness of the forest, the humbleness
and the want of the log cabin, the
mystical yearning of humanity on
the prairies and under the woodland
stars, saw for swift moment In
the glancing of the sun. as he ut
tered these words, the genius OF the
poet who knows and states, who has
lived years of loneliness and failure.
who has seen others grow rich, no.
table and powerful. and who has re-
manned obscure and unobeyed, with
nothing but a vision which has be.
come lightning at last in supreme
moment of inspiration"

New Fiction in Varied Forms

was Catholic, and Madeleine was
disturbed by her brothers infatua-
ton. But she was not one to make
trouble, nor to oppose any one whom
she loved.
Chaste and well used to defend
ing herself from the gallantries of
her countrymen. Madeleine knows
very well how to repulse one of the
farmhands who attempts to make
love to her. A bad man, this hand.
meaning evil; and when he finds
the girl detests him he sets out to
get even with her. Scandal and lies
are his method, sneaking insinua-
tions. And as the story progresses
we watch the growing success of his
underhand attacks. He fails in his
attempt to make his fellows believe
evil of Madeleine, but after he is
turned out of the farm he uses other
means.
In the sound, sweet heart of
Madeleine there is the beginning of
love for Corbier, who is good to
look at, manly and honest. But she
is not made bitter because he Goes
not give her a return. Her love SIM
ply strengthens toward the children.
One sees it grow stronger and love-
Her and always more self-sacrificing,
more devoted, more helpless. Here is
some one who win always be il dan
ger in this world, for she has no
defenses; she can be vitally hurt
because she loves with so unasking
simplicity and entirety.
And vitality hurt she is.
How her tragedy is consummated
shall not here be told. She has never
done anything that was not done for
some one else, though she has never
known this herself. for she is of the
very few who literally do not think
of themselves at all. Her final ges-
ture is for herself alone, and it is
complete and decisive. 1t is the only
cruel thing she has ever done, but
she had been pushed too far, poor
girl. Life has ridden her down. And
most of those who have helped to
crush her will not understand. Vio-
lette will, certainly, and it will
not trouble her. but not the rest.
This is one of those books that are
born out of the deep life of France,
and that reveal something of the
quality that goes to her making.
Many still think her people are friv-
olous and light. Let them read
Meme" and learn to look bit closer.
Perochon is an author worth read
ing because of the fineness of his
art. but he Is also worth reading be-
cause he speaks for France that is
not known as it should be known,
and yet that is the true and greater
France. So far as / know this is the
first Of his books to be translated
into Engiish-and why is the trans
iator's name not given? The work
has been done well, though there is
the mistake made of translating
several of the names, such as Jean
into John, and an attempt to give
some OF the country speech in incor-
rect English that does not work out
well. The book has. of course, made
a great success in France, and is
logically the one to be given to us
first. But there will be others to
follow. I hope. And i think every
one who reads this book VIII hope so
too.
