and, as she was about to open

The woman, her eyes wide,
nodded. She entered the room
and closed the door. The young
man resumed his pacing. Pretty
soon, the door opened and an
other woman came out: a young
woman with a badly swollen eye.
The man strolled over to her,
said something unintelligible and
kissed her.
And they walked off together,

Pete, it seems, always patroniZed
one restaurant in the old days;
a restaurant that is long since

Pete had two reasons for going
to this restaurant. One was that
the food was excellent. And the
other was that, although the
checks were paid at the door, the
hustling walters always wrote
them out in pencil. Consequently,
Pete would always eat to his
hearts content, accept his check,
use an eraser, write in his own
bill for coffee and rolls, and pay
10 cents to the cashier on his
way out.
This went on for more than
four years, with Pete eating a
complete meal for 10 cents.
Finally one noon his trick was

An hour spent with the tall,
broad-Shouldered, white-haired Sill
vey means at least half an hour
spent with Mcintyre, for, sooner
or later, the conversation will
drift to the writer-whAt he eats
for breakfast, his taste in shirts
and dinner desserts, his love for
dogs and his hate for phoneys and
Broadway night life. But the
half-hour of Silvey is compensa-
ton enough, for the fellow knows
everyone and has been everywhere.
He is caustic and sympathetic.
He is Scornful and appreciative.
He can, in q few words, reduce
you to gutter dust and in just as
few words sit you on \ star in the

personality and his notion

novelist, Scenarist, playwright,
adventurer, two-fisted fighter -
there is no more versatile or bril-
liant figure in our business. He
peers at you out Of sleepy eyes
as his lazy voice rebukes you. You
tell him a startling story and he
listens patiently to the end and
tells you how the story originated.
You mention q name, hoping to
impress him, and learn that he
once bunked or fought or fed or
gave the name his start. Frankly,
Z don't know how the fellow
turns out the amount Of work he
does. He edits a Sunday maya
zine, he edits a feature service,
he writes from three to five
weekly short stories, q weekly
Broadway column, a serial every
so often and a novel just as often,
SandWiching in a scenario, a re-
port on a court trial or an execu
ton.
Once q week-sometimes twice
he spends half an hour or so
broadcaSting. Now, there are only
"a hours to any day-even the
longest day-and only so many
minutes and seconds to each hour
yet this fellow piles in all this
work without the aid Of GHOSTS"
and still finds time to attend
every worthwhile theatrical and
night club opening. I concluded
that Silvey, mentioned in the
paragraph above, could not be a
man of mystery. But Lait? To
me he's the most mysterious and
amazing chap in the world. And
the object Of my envy, for I

ABOUT A GREAT GUY

WALTER DURANTY is becoming legend.
Well, why not? He is easily the best
foreign correspondent in the business. And
if now they give dinners for him, toast him
as an unofficial ambassador, quote his dis
patches as gospel, and otherwise treat him as
one of the stuffed shirts he finds so amusing.
1t really has not changed this very humble
and human reporter. Perhaps humble is not
the right word; perhaps it is his sense of
humor. At any rate, he has the knack of
being objective about himself as we'll as about
government officials and others who parade
in the news.
All OF this is by way of introducing the
book, "Duranty Reports Russia" just pub
hshed by the Viking Press. Gustavus Tuck
ernlan Jr. of New York university has select
ed and arranged the twelve-year sheaf of
Duranty's Moscow cables to the New York
Times. And Alexander Woollcott has con-
tributed a personal note to prove that this
reporter is even more interesting as a person
than his stories.
OF books on Russia there are many, too
many indeed of the three months tourist va
riety. There are several good books. But we
know of none which gives the buildup like
Duranty's. The secret of Russia is change,
growth And here in the old day-by-day dis
patches one gets that sense of an unfolding
film. vast and many-sided experiment in
motion
That these news stories, written to catch
the cables and beat deadline, stand up as
history and as literature is great feat. 1t is
the highest tribute to Walter Duranty-who is
a poet. a prize fiction writer an expert in
night clubs, great treveler, one of the finest
companions in the world, but first and last a
working reporter.
