On to Cobb

When Robert Nathan thumbed
his nose at tradition by making
light of the depression, he pro-
duced "One More Spring" and a
wave of public approval stimuli
taneously. His name scared high
in literary circles and people who
had never heard of Peter Kin
dred' and Autumn" led the rush
to read this charming satire.
All of which must have been
very encouraging to Mr.. Nathan.
At any rate, it led to a daring
experiment in the field of modern
fantasy, and when it was finished
he called it Road Of Ages"
This is saga of the eXiled Jew
set in rhythmic patterns. Writing
in a spirit of Somber WhimSy, Mr..
Nathan pictures the flight of a
tragic race out of ChriStendom in
quest of new land in Mongolia.
He sees the exodus as a vast dis
ordered throng, so miles in length.
Many of them hope for new
life, but many more hate all man
kind. including themselves. They
find very little understanding in
their wild confusion of tongues
and the climax arrives with
tumult and the Spilling of blood.
We do not deny that Road of
Ages is an artistic triumph of
which Mr.. Nathan and the Book
of the Month Club may well be
proud. The point, is, We find it
just a little difficult to get

MASTER WOODSMAN PAUL BUNYAN
NOW LIVES I'm VERSE
Loses
Nothing in
Change

The fables of that master
lumberjack, Paul Bunyan, have
returned to us. In ringing
verse that carries with it the
very sound Of the Ak biting
deep into core of a spruce,
Thomas G. Alvord, jr., has re-
assembled the epics of the
timber country.
Transferred to rhyme these
legends have an easy grace that
delights the ear as well as tickles
the funnybone. Shades Of Sam
Mckee" and Dan McGrew" fit
overhead as the prodigious feat
this paragon Of the lumberman
are unfolded.
Considering that at birth it
took five Storks to bring this
luSty infant into the world it is
no wonder that at one Of his
meals the author found it neces-
sary to describe a course in this
manner:
"WhiIe to meet the demand
for q stream of hot cakes
(And none could compare with
those flap-jackS of Jake'S)
A crew Of young maidenS on
ball-bearing skates
Rolled gracefully round, and at
variable rates,
A great greasy ham tied to
each dainty heel,
To grease the great iron for
the cakes at each meal"
SO you can see that above all
else Paul Bunyan was a man. His
strength as well as his appetite
are certainly things to write ahollr
The Washington times., 1935-02-23

to say nothing of his inventive
genius. And, Mr.. Alvord has in
dited them all with a charm of
Vernacular that make them sound
authentic If not entirely truthful.
So here's to collection that will
give you enough rhythm to ab-
Sorb for some time to come.
Paul Bunyan, the legendary
hero OF the North Woods; BY
Thomas g. AEvord, jr., Albert and
Charles Boni.
Off Again
Maybe you thought a man back
from a "Cannibal Quest would
be willing TO behave. Especially
q family man with q talen for
wedding domestic dahlias."
But. If you were thinking Of
Gordon Sinclair, you were dead
wrong. He simply can't be
squelched. Not by Burma nor by
Bombay, nor yet by any part Of
the Southern Hemisphere.
His latest exploits are recounted
in Loose Among Devils" and
these take place in such pleasant
places as Devils Island, Haiti,
and choice sections Of the Nigeria
juju country.
The sum total is a collection
Of hair-raiSing stories equal to the
w. B. Seabrook's Magic
Island" though Mr.. Sinclairs
style is strictly his own and we'll
nigh irresistible.
He is, to be sure, a bit hard
on Hollywood, and perhaps with
just cause. For, contrary to the
film fables, it turns out that you
can walk completely around
Devils Island while smoking a
cigarette" The island itself being
an insignificant spot in the At
lantic smaller than a turnip field
and holding in March, 1882, just
six prisoners" 1t develops thereby
that the whole of the penal col
ony, mainland and islands in
cluded, is known for the sake of
convenience as Devils Island.
What Mr.. Sinclair saw and
heard and Smelt there is related
from an easy-going impartial OBJ
servation post. We learn that the
gang system is stronger than the
arm OF the law. That guards are
more often at the mercy of the
prisoner than the reverse, and that
eonvictS are never flogged. al So
