New York, Feb. 20.-This started
with conversation concerning the
passing Of the old Breevoort Hotel, in
lower Fifth avenue, into the hands
Of q hotel chain.
But it led to a tale about Charles
Edison, son of the late Thomas A.,
which / had never heard before.
The story was told by my favorite
raconteur, Konrad Bercovici, who
happened to be in the process of CIV
ing workout to gypsy band which
he will soon conduct over the radio
in a program Of folk music.
II see you folks had piece about
Charley Edison" he observed. May
be you didn't see 1t, but used story
about him In my book, New York
Merry Co. Round And it has to do
with the old Breevoort. Maybe you
would like to hear fragments of it?"

Having nodded our assent, he went
on: We'll, back in the days when
Greenwich Village was what it was
and the Breevoort was great hang
out for artists, poets and writers, I
was sitting over my coffee one eve
ming. On the table lay the copy of
a little periodical issued at the time
from some village basement.
with a companion, I sat reading
this paper and my eye encountered
some verses signed with the name,
Tom Pepper We were discussing
the verses when a young man came
to the table. sat down and asked our
opinion of them.
II admitted thinking they were
better than most, whereupon he made
it plain that he was the anonymous
Tom pepper. It was not long after
ward that q telephone call revealed
to me his name.

lage was Charley Edison!
"At the time he was apparently
living in that section and had a def
mite desire to be recognized for his
work. And he appeared appreciative
of the fact that we liked it.
This, of course, started an ac-
quaintanceship which was most in
teresting.

Whisky q Trademark?

One of those interesting but unim-
portant lawsuits that pop up every
so often seems to have come to light
in Berlin, where six British distiller-
les have filed suit to prohibit a Ger
man distillery from calling its prod
uct whisky.
Whisky, the plaintiffs say, is strictly
a British name-so much so that dis
titled liquor which is made anywhere
else is not really whisky at all.
AS footnote testifying to the per-
sistencc of England's famous insular
provincialism, this is an entertaining
little item. And it is probable that
few Americans will be disposed to
argue with the English contention.
After all, a lot of distilled liquor is
made in the United States-but is it
called whisky these days? It is not.
The ordinary citizen refers to it by
one Of two names: moon, or corn.

Death in HOLLYWOOD

Very likely you didn't even notice
the brief newspaper stories saying
that Theodore Wharton died In Hol-
lywood the other day: and II you did
you probably had not the foggiest
notion who he may have been. But
II you were movie fan Is years ago
he provided a great deal Of your en-
tertainment.
For 1t was Wharton who devised
and filmed the first Of the serials. It
was he who brought the famous "se-
rial queen Pearl White, to the
screen. He also introduced such old
time stars as Crane Wilbur. Milton
Stills, Irene Castle and Marguerite
Snow to FINLAND.
But not only was his movie fame
quickly forgotten; his fortune went
with it, and after his death he was
buried by the Motion Picture Relief
Fund. Which proves. perhaps, that
the rewards Hollywood offers It's peo-
pie are not always very lasting.

MOby Dick Again

A collector OF rare books paid 81 .675
the other day in New York for copy
Of an old book entitled 1.-The Maria
tive Of the Shipwreck of the Whale
ship Essex, of Nantucket; and the
interesting thing about it is the fact
that this book once was owned by
Herman Melville and seems to have
contained the original thread upon
which Melville's great novel, "Moby
Dick" was hung.
This book told how the ship Essex,
about century ago, was rarnmed
and sunk by huge sperm whale off
the coast Of Chile, and how the crew
made its way to shore. 1000 miles
away, in small boats.
II you've read your "Moby Dick
and If you haven't you've missed
something - you'll remember that
something like that was the climax
Of the novel. when Moby Dick, the
white whale, rammed Captain Ahab's
ship and sent it to the bottom with
all hands.
This business Of digging back to
see where an author got his idea"
is always interesting. But the strik-
ing thing about it is the way it proves
that the actual skeleton of the plot
is the least important thing about
book.
Old Skipper Owen Chase. who
wrote this story of the shipwreck,
built up book on the yarn Of
whale that sank ship, and SO did
Melville-but what a difference! The
one book was forgotten generations
ago, by everyone except Melville: the
other is one of the masterpieces of
American literature. With one writer
the yarn was just yarn, exciting but
unimportant: with the other it be-
came the basis for deep, moving
tale in which humanity's spiritual
adventurings are summed up.
One is reminded OF the way Con-
rad wrote "Nostromo' after reading
in Central American newspaper
brief account of how a native de-
camped with lighter full of bar sill
vcr. There again an insignificant
little anecdote was expanded into a
book of universal significance.
And that is what the creative ar
fist is for; to see. in incidents that
the rest of us would not think about
twice, the chance to reveal the uni
verse to us. The basis of his plot
may be interesting. but it is unim-
portant. 1t is what he does with 1t
that counts.
