GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOKSHELF

So much has been said about, pro
and son, the book Elmer Gantry by
Sinclair Lewis that this column this
week is given over to what we hope
is an impartial view of both sides
Read the book after you have read
these gleanings.
Rev. John Roach Stratton, pastor
of the Calvary Baptist church or
New York City says, Elmer Gantry
is bunk vanity and vulgarity

study Of hypocrisy"
Elmer Davis in the New York

Gantry has three priceless gifts. a
voice, front and a sex appeal. No
Trains but possesses animal cum
ring"
H. L. Mencken in the Mercury
"Elmer Gantry may color the whole
stream of national thought"
In the Outlook, Elmer Gantry says:
MIR Sinclair Lewis pays his re-
spects to the clergy in Elmer Gan
try as in 'Arrowsmith' he wrote OF
$doctors, and in .'Babbitt CT business
lnaen. All of these books may make
some one angry, as satirical novels
have always done-as Dickens Bleak

angry Perhaps no one OF Mr.. Lewis
/ heroes comes so near being a COM
/ plete scoundrel as Elmer Gantry,
and those who hastily assume that
he is presented as typical parson
may very well become furious. "A
discriminating reader, however, will
easily discover that the novelist is

However this may be ranked with
Mr.. Lewis other novels it is fairly
safe t. predict that it will cause as
much controversy as any cf them.
Like the others it is a great pag-
cant of American life from 1902, the
year of Elmer's ssgraduation from
81erwillinger college, to the present,
In it's lively and vigorous pages
appear, like figures in a movie, col
lege students, football-player evan
gellists, divinity students and pro-
fessors, business men, roisterers, har-
lots, choir singers priests, rabbits,

flaming figure of Sharon Falconer.

"Despite the authors statemenr
tlrat no character in the book is the
portrait OF any actual person, the
career of this pagan priestess runs
too close to that of the noted preach
er Of the Argelus Temple at Los An

Many Aged Jazz Fans

PARIS, April QFD-The views of
an English doctor at Monte Carlo
are causing many elderly dance lovers
on the Riviera to stop or pause in
their revelry.
This doctor. claims that the pres

years from the lives of persons over

Dancing harms no one" he says,
"but the harmful part is that the
man or woman over GO usually insists
on a youthful dancing partner. They
hire youthful instructors to teach
them the latest steps. Then, rain

their weekly appointments because

New Evidence Discovered.

This eminent and popular scientist
opened his address on Darwin s
Theory of Mans Descent AS 1t Stands
Today" by reviewing briefly the origin
of the theory that is anathema to
fundamentalists.
He mentioned the bitter battles that
once ragged in England over this sub
ject and declared that the transforma-
ton Vt outlook on mans origin was
one q the marvels of the nineteenth
century
''F'iftS.six years have come and
gone since that history was written.
An enormous body Of new evidence
has poured in upon u.s." Sir Arthur
said. "We are now able to fill in
many paees which Darwin had per-
force to leave blank, and we have
found 1t necessary to alter details in
his narrative. but the fundamentals of
Darwin's outline of mans history re-
mains mistaken Nay. so strong has
his position become that I am con-
vinced it never can be shak n"
The president proceeded to pile up
his evidence in a carefully considered
address he had spent several months
preparing. Although the evidence of
mans evolution from an ape-like be-
ing, obtained from study of fossil
remains, is definite and irrefutable. )"
Sir Arthur said. the process has been
infinitely complex and the chain of
evidence has not been so simple as
was suspected in Darwin's time. In
fact. he Immediately disposed of the
well known diagram showing mans
Transformation by a single file of
