BOOK REVIEW
The Wears Daughter
BY
+. II. Young


Looked at from every point Of view
1.-The Wears Daughter" Is a delight
full novel From the first pages you
realize the shadow Of a tragedy Is
hanging over the cheerful vicarage,
also over the house across the way
where dwell the brothers James and
John Blunt, with James cat and Caro-
line, their new housekseper, whose
coming causes much confusion, There
IS mysterious connection between
the two houses. little Is told bu, much
suggested; and not until the end Is
all explained.
Interestingly rs the story is. the
Joy of the book comes from the
deiineation Of the characters, they
are All people 81 aesh and blood.
Some YOU viii love. some dcspise,
you may disapprove Of others, not
understand them all. but everyone
of them viii interest YOU. Marg aFet.
the Wears wife. j. the most intr-
guine. she is SO essentially feminine.
So lovable. full Of humor. az times
trying in her fiippaney, and q little
cruel ~ she teAaes poor Maurice, but
with all her faults. her devotion 20
her husband and child. and hcr great
charm make you forget her weak
nesses.
As for Maurice he is SO trying. and
ridiculous, Il is hard to feel sym
pathy for him Ii he can do the
wrong thing. be is sure 10 do IT,.
but we should feel grateful te him.
Tor It is MS laundering and meddling
that precipitates the principle incident
of the story Hilary, the child. IS a
delightful mixture Of worldly wis.
dom and ehildishness, while her dog,
always spoken Of as 'the dog" l. as
alive as any of the others. Edward.
the Vicar, is no more the conven-
tionnl clergyman than his wife is the
typical elergyman's wife. Margaret
only allows him to wear rhis uniform.
as she dubs his clerical clothes. on
Sunday TO which decree he willingly
submits. His chief delight. apart
from the joy he takes In Margaret
and Hilary. is writing articles about
the prophets and other Old Testa-
ment characters. which he sends TO
the magazines, and his greatest grief
is his disappointment when they are
returned with the usual rejection
slip.
This is before the story begins, lat
or he has real troubles. but To speak
OF them will lessen the pleasure Of
reading the book which is too good
60 be spoiled. Delightful descriptions
Of the country, the garden and var
ious aspects Of nature add 10 the
charm of the book The approach Of
a thunder storm. and a picture Of
Margaret after "A walk IN the rain. re.
turning hatess and dripping are
little gems.

RunfOrd Press Would
Censor the Sinclair
SaccO-Vanzetti Novel

The March issue of the Bookmen
Magazine in which Upton Sinclair's
novel. Boston, which sis apt to offend
the dignitaries of Massachusetts" will
appear, will not be published by the
Rumford Press, according to Seward
Collins, publisher.
Sacco and Vanzetti are central
characters in the novel, it was learn
ed. The George F. Willett affair, in
which verdict of S1O,500,000 was set
aside by the same court that sent the
two Ioalian workers to their doom is
thinly disguised by the use of fictiti-
Gus names and figures in the story
which so strongly offends the officers
of the Rumford Press.
:. In. discussing the controversy, Will
lam S. Rossiter, president of the
Press, declared that the Sinclair nov
ell entered into the picture to minor
degree" However, both editors of
the Bookman, Burton Rascoe and Col
Inns declared that they are convinced
that the substance of the novel which
discredits officials and business inter.
ests of the Commonwealth, is respon-
sible for the objection.

lights before she is full grown. She
sings in Spanish, she initiates an
Americanized Mexican flapper IN
English, she dances and makes friends
with the audiences that is always
willing, as Texas Guinan would say,
to "give the little girl hand"
In the same talented group OF
youngsters there's more to see and
hear. A young comedian helps the
audience to some good hearty
laughter. Another youngster, repays
for singing some rank sentimental
songs with a pleasing voice. And the
whole company, singing, dancing and
comedy is given in an elaborate pre-
sentation surprising in its lavish dis
play of costume and stage settings.
Gus Edwards claims also to have
helped George Jessel to stardom. 1t
would have perhaps been well had he
helped also the producers who star
Jessel in "Ginsberg the Great" a
film that's not so great, which fea-
lures Jessel and about which no one
has reason to write home. It's lot
of tomfoolery about ham magician
who is not so good on magic but who
turns out wonder in foiling bad,
bad men who have designs on his
bosses money.
Overplotted and ordinary in photo
graphy, it is slapstick comedy which
is rot helped by the work of Jessel
(Which is also not maggie nor the
'comely assistance of Gertrude Aston.
To be fair it is not entirely hopeless.
There were spots of humorous stu
ations and even of hilarious fun. But
in addition to Gus Edwards review,
"Ginsberg the Great" was just an
extra bargain thrown in for good
measure in a full-sized elaborate pro-
gram. w. c.

Labor Unity

LABOR UNITY, February 1928,
Published by The Trade Union Educa-
tional League, N. Y. 20 cents.
THE left wing in the American labor
1 movement begins to respond to the
deep seated crisis in which the unions
find themselves. The keynote at the
Third National Conference of the
Trade Union Educational League was
Save the Trade Unions" and this
conference, the largest and most
representative of workers in all in
dustries of any so far, voted unani-
mously toS issue a popular and yet
scientific, a readable and yet an
alytical and Informative monthly
journal, under the auspices of the
League. Labor Unity published by
The Labor Unity Publishing Co. was
taken over, and made the organ of
the Trade Union Educational League,
and it's formal changed from news
paper to a magazine style.
The February issue is the first in
the new makeup, and for beginning
is excellent, this in spite of the haste
and pressure under which it was pro-
duced-for crises do not wait.
The crisis itself is carefully and
adequately analysed by that old
war horse in the western labor move
ment, Bill Dunno. The motives and
the objects of the present terrific at
tack on organized labor, Dunno
classifies under three heads: (1) that
of the government, especially through
injunction, some Of the latter of
which actually prohibit strike action
outright; (2) the assault of the en-
ployers, who are thus far successful
