TOF1N ERSKINE WILL ATTEMPT
TO PORTRAY MODERN AMERICA
Famous Novelist, in Address
Here. Tells Of Plan to
Depict Types.
Writer DepIores Trend To-
ward Cynicism Instead of
Mixing Characters.

John Erskine Is to turn his pen to a
portrayal of cotemporary America.
The distinguished novelist and critic
who has held the lives of Helen OF
Troy. Galahad and Eve before the mir
ror of psvchoanalySis said yesterday
,nat he is gathering material all over
the country on his present lecture tour
for the characters which will appear n
his next novel.
Prof Erskine deplorcd the cynical
been notable in the work OF postwar
novelists.
Il desplSe the Pollyanna type he
said But after all this is a good
world. 1t is good world in the sense
that most of us would do anything to
avoid leaving it. The novelist must be,
0rst of all. lover of people who is not
blind to their faults. The man with
perhaps the greatest natural ability
among present-day noveliSts is Sinclair
Lewis. but / would like to see him write
book about people he liked rather
than have him 60 on depicting only
characters which he despiSes, however
accurate the portrayals may be. We
can't 60 around contemptuouS OF every
body. II is much easier to write a book
IN WHICH everybody Is OaQ OF eNeINpouy

natural mixture of virtues and weak

Abandon Simple Pattern.
Europeans have criticized our books
as showing little curiosity about life.
Our writer's have assumed that things
i'll general are constructed on a simple
pattern. But American writer's. in COM
mon with those of the rest of the world.
are getting away from this in two
rather distinct ways. The first school
has adopted the stream of conscious
ness method, exemplified by the WORK
of Joyce and Proust or by Fannie Hurst
in America This school seeks to read
the mind Of the character and has an
opportunity to apply whatever system
of psychology the individual writer
holds
The second method is that of IN
verse psychology. such as I have tried
TO follow in my books, Instead of read
ing the mind of his character the
author tries to select characteristic re-
marks which will enable the reader to
guess. according to his own system Of
psychology, what is in the mind OF tn.

this country.
Mr. Wales. in letter to Mr.. Schory,
said he had received from the main Of

added that mo reason was given IN

Mr. Wales letter said: 1T may be
that our friends in Bermuda wish to
await the final test of the new dircc-
finding station at st. George be-
fore doing anything further.
'All Of this has created rather

Earnest Effort Cited.
Modern novellsts are making an
earnest effort. not for their readers
sake but for their own, to see as much
of life as they can and Ito get 1t all
down." Mr.. Erskine told an audience
in the auditorium Of Central High
School last night. where he lcctureo
under the auspices of the Community
institute.
Speaking on The Moral Obligation
to be Intelligent" Mr.. Erskine reviewed
some of the ideas set forth III an essay
OF the same title written by him sew
eral years ago, as background against
which he suggested some OF the prob
lens modern noveliSts. parents teach
ers and others are facing.
Very few of us. the speaker declared
class itelligence with honesty. courage
and the other virtues" as the Greeks
did. and this is in accordance with the
traditions of our English literature. he
claimed. pointing out that Shake

invariably virtuous and their intelligent
characters consistently sinful,

FoHies Girl Poses
 As Foreigner, and
 Breaks Into FiInls

LOS ANGELES, Jan. A Fol lies girl hoodwinked her way in to the movies under the nose of one of the most astute producers in the business and today con fessed her deception. She is still in the films.
 Jean Williams, formerly of the New York Follies, tried unsuccess- fully to crash the screen gates several months ago. A few weeks ago she came back again. This time her name was Sonia Karlov. the daughter, so she said, of a Russian father and Norwegian mother, with Denmark as a birth place.
 Producer Cecil B. DeMille put her through screen tests and told her he would sign her up. Then somebody from Broadway saw and recognized her. so, with her bubble of hope apparently explod- ed. back she went to DeMille and confessed. The producer decided that good screen tests could not be denied and, as Sonia Karlov, the New York Foliies girl today is a motion picture actress with q future.
