Arnold Johnson, director of the "NationaI Amateur Night broad casts, was one of radios first fea- tured conductors but he has only spoken into the microphone three times. Back in 1928 he was given an opportunity to read a line. His effort was heckled by no less a champion heckler tha Eddie Can tor. Johnson took 1t so much to heart that he never would speak again during a broadcast. A phy- chiatrist recently advised him that. to overcome the complex, he should speak few words occasion- ally while conducting. He has done this twice recently while illustrat- ing commercial continuity with music in the amateur shows. Az holds right tickled about 1t.

enst she seems to have little ability
for or interest in developing her story
So, in the present work the reader
finds himself half through and still

Introductory quality. One waits and
waits for something to happen, and
the goodness Of the writing makes one
feel that something worth reading
must be going to happen soon. But it
never does.
The book conforms to the current
fashion. in that it is s'chiefly about a

mother died in Richmond on December
8, 1911.
Elizabeth Arnold Poe, the mother Of
the poet, had been playing in a Rich
mond theater for months since the
death of his father in Norfolk early in
1911, when she was taken i'll. With her
were her children, Edgar Allan Poe, a
lad of 2, and Baby Rosalie Poe, his only
sister, who lived in Washington for the
latter part of her life as an inmate of
the Epiphany Church Home and is
buried in that institutions section in
Rock Greek Cemetery.
The attention of Mrs. Allan had
been directed to the dire need of Mrs.
Poe and her children. There Is every
reason to believe that Mrs. Allan was
ministering angel to the widow and
her little children during the last days
Of her life. Although the record is
not to be found at this late date, there
is little doubt but that in the Fall of
1911 when Mrs. Poe could no longer
keep regular theatrical engagements.

types. those men who cling to frontier
localities as long as they are to be
found, men who lack the courage to
be barbarians and the fear to be civil

their clothes as seldom as possible,
burning their skins in the sun and

GOLDEN APPLES. BY Marjorie Kin

IN THIS second novel Mrs. Rawlings
uses again the terrain which was
an intrinsic part Of her first book,
South Moon Under" The terrain is
the Florida forest: in South Moon
Under it was also the plot and. to
great extent, the characters. In other
words, South Moon Under" was
book about place. 1t escaped an
nonymity in its human beings pre-
cisely because they were so completely
creatures of that place. The book told
a story of the forest through terms of
a woman's life-just as it might have
through terms of the rings in tree.
She belonged to her scene that COM
pletely.
In Golden Apples" there is not
quite this felicitous harmony between
plot and scene. Most of the charac-
tiers, to be sure, are native backwoods-
men, but one around whom the story
revolves is a foreigner, an Englishman.
His romance in the bush is plausible
enough. but it gives the book
made" quality and has the effect of
a story imposed on a setting
For the rest, the book has the rich
colorfu.ness of its predecessor.

On December 8, 1911, Mrs. Poe died
and in the Richmond Inquirer Of De-
cember 10, 1911, appeared this tribute
to her:
"Died. on last Sunday morning, Mrs.
Poe, one of the actresses of the COM
pany at present playing on the Rich
mond boards. BY the death of this
lady the stage has been deprived of
one of its chief ornaments. and to say
the least of her. she was an interest,"
ing actress, and never failed to catch
the applause and command the ad-
miration of the benolder." A grave
was found for her in st. Johns
Churchyard "close against the Eastern
wall"
EDGAR was taken to the Allan
home after the funeral Of his
mother. He was a handsome little
boy, according to all reports, ex-
tremely bright and joyous of nature
Quite o contrast to the sad poet Of
after years.
It was home Of comfort and even
luxury to which Mrs. Allan took the
orphaned lad of nearly 3. The
Allan home, at that time, was oppo-
site the old Exchange Hotel site on
Fourteenth street and Tobacco alley.
With what childish affection he must
have responded to the love of the new
mother. Little by little the memory
of Elizabeth Arnold Poe faded out of
his mind as good food, care and fresh
air and a garden filled with flowers
made a little boys day a full and
happy one. Here, for brief space, at
least, he might rest secure from that
"unmerciful disaster" which was to
dog his adult years.

first documentary evidence as to the
presence Of young Poe in the Allan
household is to be found In doctors

The restored manuscript contains
either complete or fragmentary copies
of the books of Hosea, Amos, Micah,
Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Nahum. Habak-

able religious controversies, Jonah and
Micah.

Next only to the Gutenberg Bible,
and far surprising it in fundamental
significance to scholarship, are the
three manuscripts preserved at the
Freer Gallery Of Art Of the Smith
sonian Institution.
The most significant of these Is a
parchment manuscript Of the four gos-
pels which has unique place among
the source materials Of Christianity.
It was purchased by Mr.. Freer from
an Arab dealer near Cairo in 1906 and
critical considerations since then have
led to the conclusion that it dates
from the fourth, or early fifth. CEN
tury and was the property Of mon
astery located near Gizeh. It appears
to have been one Of the very few
Christian manuscripts which escaped
the great persecution under Diocle-
tian during the fourth century.
OF special significance Is the fact
that the manuscript. replete with text
ual errors of the copyist. appears to
have been prepared from two sources.
The greater part is fairly accurate
copy according to the so-called Anti
och Recension, which also is the source
of the Greek Testament in ordinary
use. But, for some reason, part of
the Gospel According to st. Mark ap-
pears to have been copied from a
manuscript obtained from somewhere
in North Africa and represents the
so-called Latin Recension," which
was the gospel of the early Western
church.
A FTER Mr.. Freer had brought the
manuscript to the United States

result that there was published not

TINE observance tomorrow Of the
eighty-sixth anniversary of the
death of Edgar Allan Poe,
Americas master poet, in Bal
timore. Md, recalls the fact that a
treasure trove of Poeana Is sheltered in
the Library of Congress in the Euis
and Allan papers purchased some years
ago by that institution.
The Ellis and Allan papers were
bought primarily as source material f2r
the study of an early nineteenth cen-
tury Virginia mercantile firm. In
cluded in the papers were thousands
of items concerning the personal and
business happenings in the lives of
John Allan of Richmond, Va, foster
father of Edgar Allan Poe, and his
partner, Charles Ellis. These papers
cover quarter Of a century and were
contemporaneous with Poe's own youth.
It is a strange fact that much new
light has been thrown on the early life
of the poet through research in the
Ellis and Allan papers. For during the
period covered by them Poe was either
in Allan's home as member Of the
household or was in correspondence
with him. In the collection the name
of Edgar" appears again and again,
and quite a group of letters concern
him directly.
If the "child is father to the man."
as has been written, then the clue to
much of Poe's erratic life lay in his
youth and the care and training he re-
'ceived. Perhaps his piteous death in
Baltimore in October Of l849, after
having been found in a dying condition
on its streets, would have been pitched

The manuscript is of sheep and

thickness and in fair state of preser-
