could have foretold, from the first,
that the hero was going to break in

might guess as much.

But 1t is not at all the voice of

Mirbeau's account of the art of Lirat,
a painter. who figures largely in the
story, applies fairly TO his own prac-
tice:
"He fashioned the man of to-day
in his craving for enjoyment, a
frightfully tortured soul with a body
sapped by neurosis. with flesh tor
mented by lust, which quivers under
the influence of passion that lures
man on and sinks its claws into his
skin. Love besmirched with
blood, drunk with the filth of vice,
wretched love which fastens upon
man and its mouth like a cupping
glass and drains his veins. sucks the
marrow OF his bones and emaciates
his frame. And in order to give
these representation a still greater
intensity of horror he cast
them in the midst of peaceful, smil-
ing surroundings of SURPRISING
clearneSs."
There IS undeniable power and ac-
curacy of observation in the book
| and (in the original F'rench) an apt
ness and luridly alive, picturesque
quality in its description. But it is
all thoroughly of the deeadence of
the last century.

RIN ERS AND THEIR MYSTERIES.
BY A. Hyatt yerrill. Duffield & Co.
NoNsIDERING the unconscious
l part rivers play in our lives.
most of US know very little
about them. Just how little that is
all readers of this Informative and
satisfying volume of Mr.. Verrill's
will be reminded on almost every
page. As travellers we are carried
up and down them in great steam
ers; as pleasure seekers we disport
on them in motorboats and canoes;
We bathe in them, and We enjoy
them as among the most beautiful
spectacles spread before Us by ma
ture. They have their romances of
discovery and history; they carry
food to us and bear freight essential
to our comfort and well being: they
give us food. and, unhappily. they
act as our sewers. They have fur
nished power to man from remote
times, a development of their useful
nesses only now coming into some
thing like their real resources in
furnishing white fuel"
Mr.. verrill reminds us of all these
things in his book and then tells us
many things about the romance of
rivers in mythology and story; about
famous river towns; as to how rivers
are formed; about river life beneath
the surface; how rivers serve man:
describes some unusual rivers that
run underground and those formed
of ice; describes those artificial
rivers we call canals. and summar-
ICES descriptions of important and
famous rivers all over the world,
from the tiny Thames. with its tre-
mendous history to the great ANA
zon and the Mississippi. Out of his
much Travelled memories he adds two
fascinating chapters describing a
voyage down northern river and
another up a tropical stream, both
generally characteristic of such ex-
periences. The many excellent illus
trations add much to the informative
value of the work.

The star of the production is
Jackie Coogan, made famous through

: Pathos and humor have been skill
fully blended by the director into
production that grips the heart

As an orphan, who has arrived
in New York friendless and home

for him, furnishes this little star with
part that fits him to perfection
and allows him full sway to demon
strate that he possesses exceptional
