NICOLAS POL sSIN by Esther Sutro.
 This book is Of some consequence as it is the first study in English that has been made Of this artist. It is more concerned with the man himself his methods, his ideals, his desires. his achievements. than it is with critical examination of his canvases, although if is interspersed with criti- cal. interpretative comment. It is written from the viewpoint of warm admiration, but shows clearsighted- ness and judicial discernment in com parisons between him and other painkers.

 Most of these interesting and characteristic letters are about books which Hudson had been reading, and those who know him only as a natur- alist will be surprised by the width of his reading, though doubtless not hy it's depth. His opinions here, frankly and often caustically express ed, compose kind of running com mentary on the literature contem- porary with his last % years, and as such they have value even outside of the fact that they are associated with him.

 Mir. Bush amplified his statement by saying that the Hopper engineers were in consultation with local officials of the company and that type of oven would be constructed if the prices were in line.
 The company will have 100 ovens when the new work is completed, which will coke over 40,600 tons per month, from which will be taken numerous by- products that can be handled locally.
 In speaking of the new plants. Mir.

 Day Showing

There is a novel idea behind the plot of Borrowed Husbands" which is to be shown at the Temple theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, that increases it's entertaining value and of fers food for thought. The title gives the keynote to the whole plot which all titles should; but few do: A devoted wife is separated from her husband for few months and as all of their set are married and require husbands as escorts the young wife decides to bor- row a few while her husband is away.
 The idea appears a good one on the surface and Nancy finds many friends who are willing to loan their hus- bands Then complications set in, which form a phOtOplay of well bal anced emotions, light patches of humOr, touches of pathOs, intense dramatic sit nations with an occasional thrill.
 The picture contains a cast of favor ite players, several of whom are stars in their own right; beautiful scenic backgrounds, hobby frocks upon the women, a glimpse of society, country and sporting life and a story that holds the interest.
