of prejudice. Cronin has no irons in the fire. He paints mine disasters, strikes, riots and embattled trenches because they are part of the picture, but they and their very significance at all times are secondary to the characters he portrays.
 Successor to Bennett
 And it is in the portrayal of char acter that Cronin shows his real genius. There is not a stereotyped character in the book, no smallest participant in the scene of action who is not moulded lovingly, with attention to each detail, so that even minor characters are remembered, and live as actual beings, long af- ter the book has been concluded. Tn this, as in his objectivity and un- derstanding, Cronin stands out as the inevitable successor to the crown of the late Arnold Bennett, writ CT fully as great. with his feet as firmly imbedded in the future as those of the eminent Bennett were in the conservative past.

GROWN NOVEL AVAILABLE AT
 LIBRARY NOW
The Stars Look Down, British Best-Seller, Has
 Much to Offer

One of the newer acquisitions oi the Juneau Public Library, The Stars Look Down. by H. D. Cronln may well prove to be the one purely objective and significant novel to have arisen out of the present era of social consciousness.
 Tn no sense of the word radical, and utterly dispossessed Of political theory, a man open to truth and armed with a repertorial passion for recording it, Cronin approaches ms subject with something of the re- mote omniscience symbolized in his title, but with, too, sympathy en- irely human, and an attitude toward his charaters that is in essence one or brotherhood rather than guard ianship.
 Author Is Doctor
