life, in Elizabeth Jordans, "The
Night Club Mystery"
This novel is published today by
The Century Company and sells for
50. I am reviewing this novel on
its publication date because it might
be based upon similar characters
depicted in the movie, Street Of
Chance" which has caused so much
talk here this week.
The Night Club Mystery Is
much better written than the aver
age so-called mystery story. 1t has
prologue which has the same charm
that one expects from Milne.
It is in the prologue that you
meet Barry on his ninth birthday.
His stern but very reasonable New
England aunt feared for the boy to
use his priced present, fine fishing
rod and tackle, because he had no
older person to go with.
Then J. c. Blocker, man, ar
riVes and gets into the heart and
soul of the boy. This man dwelt =
the heart of that boy. j. g. was
Barry's idol.
Then we get Barry as young
man, fine, good and strong, starting
as a clerk in a great New York
bank.
Then suddenly when Barry's life
was as well ordered as a fine clock,
in steps j. G. Bleecher and this
mans friendship became curse and
the greatest thing in Barry's life.
Barry and an innocent girl who
was starting on a wild career wera
the unwilling witnesses to the muir
der of a notorious gambler in a
smart night club.
The fishing rod became a wise
which held Barry and his girl friend,
dragging them both down into the
black lives Of gangsters.
All because Barry went fishing
with a man and all because the man
accused Of the murder was this same
J. C. Blocker, but under another
name.
Here is a story finely written and
one mystery story that is not
solved by the all-wise detectives.
The background work of the
author is accurate and done with
amazing skill. al characters be-
come living personalities, they step
out of the pages, talk and act right
before you.
And that is the test OF mighty
good writing. Here is corking good
