for local color, but studies OF the
ne with a sociological background.
Later came his novels with their
nortrayals of real people and real
nroblems, showing the power OF
Mr. Webster's mental equipment.
for he is a widely cultivated person
with a knowledge Of the drama,
music and literature. He speaks
with authority on all of these sub
jects.
