 That's the way 1t is-everybody everywhere, wants to know if you know Octavus Roy Cohen-and think do not exaggerate when l say that he is better known than any other 10 men in the city of Birmingham.
 People love to read Roy Cohen's stories" because they are different; because they are unique; because they show another side of the dark eys" from the side which Thomas Nelson Page and the other showed ir other words-Roy Cohen pictures and writes about the modern negro while Thomas Nelson Page, painted the old-time negro---the ante bellum negro and each paints with a master brush.
 Those stories-his negro stories in the Saturday Evening Post-his latest being The Wfoow's Bite," are stories which first brought fame and fortune to Octayus Roy Cohen and then followed his equally clever nov els those Mystery" stories, The Crimson Alibi," Six Seconds of Dark ness," and his latest story Mid night. which are "thrillers"-radiat- ing, stirring situations and amazing adventures and marvellous denoune- ments.
 Midnight" which has recently come from the press of Dodd Mead S5 company. will be regarded by many as the very best detective or mystery story Roy Cohen has ever written It is brim full of unusual suggestions, and mysterious situa- tions and holds the attention of the reader from the moment the story opens with the prophetic sentence.

 It was so identically with what happens to me everywhere l go-east | or west, north or south-that I was | sympathetic with the nice lady at once, for l felt sure that if she said she knew Mir. Cohen she had an ava lanche of questions asked her to this effect:
 What does he look 1ike?" "ls he young or is he old?"
 Is he married, or is he singleY' IS he nice or is he stuck-up?"

 All right said Mir. Cohen. -1t you will write my play for them"

 It so happened that in the party with Mir. and Mrs. Barrett, that of the six people Mir.

Barrett started out of the thea- tre, to the foyer-to smoke, having kept the secret to himself all the way through the play and vowing that he wouldn't tell, but keep the others guessing until the finale.
