recollection" that when Mr.. James
Agate went to her in 1885 with
the news that she was entitled to
celebrate her fiftieth anniversary
as an actress, she gave him a pre-
occupied smile.
Having heard Of Miss Tempest
as a stern diSciplinarian you will
enjoy MI. Bolitho'S account of the
development Of the sense of pro-
portion" which guides her every
move in life.
Whatever happened to her, and
a lot did, she always began with a
clean slate. Nobody hated that
more than Mr.. Bolitho, who found
to his CONSERVATION that her "im-
patient unaccumulating fingers"
had torn up such valuable aids to
the biographer as letters from
Bernhardt, Duse and Sullivan.
But it makes fascinating char
acter study and it made a fine or

Susan Etherington who began as
a musical comedy actress and lived
to become the great lady OF the

Fascinating Life Study OF
Marie TEMPEST

Hector Bho begins his story of Marie Tempest the great
lady of the stage by declaring:
II boast that my book is biography Argument
disappointment despair thrust their unwecome faces
upon the of my abors. During these eight years
have tried perhaps so times nail Miss Tempest down to the
collaboration mind which does not accumulate
but which forever forging ahead into adven
lures does not enjoy the idle pleasures of recollection
The Washington times., 1937-01-23

Well, Miss Tempest has such a
mind. She doesn't care where
she's been, although her travels
include triumphS in China, Japan
and the Antipodes. She only wants
to know where she is going. Since
she is now past TO, this is nothing
short of amazing considering her
age and attainments.
When she began appearing be-
fore the public Dickens was still
alive. The Civil War in America
was nearing it's end. Irving was
a young man. Yet Marie Tenn
pest counts Noel Coward as con-
temporary. AS one Of her ad-
mirers claims, "she no longer de-
fies time. having conquered it"
She is, indeed, so occupied in

For sheer cleverneSS, one
would have to go a long way to
find anything to beat the draw
ings of Aaron Sopher, at Studio
House, who takes a shot at the
passing American scene in a
most satiric, humorous, sarcastic
manner.
Mr.. Sopher uses the line draw
ing for his principal medium,
and with few strokes Of his pen,
he can achieve the most devas-
tating effects. Most Of his scenes
are from Washington and Balti-
more, and therefore familiar
without much stretch of the
imagination. But with Mr.. Soph-
er's sarcastic touch, they live in
humor and realism.
The D. A. R. in convention as
Sembled. the ladies from la vie
haute attending Mrs. Townsend'S
musicaleS, hotel lobby sitters and
the like come in for Mr.. Sopher'S
Steely pen.
He has a delicious knack Of
making things look ridiculous
and ludicrous when ordinarily
they are accepted as being quite
the thing. One of his better
sketches is Of a meeting in the
Willard Hotel, where the grande
danes and their men are listen
ing to a speaker, who very be-
nignly bemoans that "The poor
we have always with u.s."
Adolph Hitler and his second in
command, Hermann Goering, like
wise take the rap from Mr.. So
piers pen. and in the rest of his
sketches there is scarcely an ele-
ment of society that doesn't come
in for some kind of ribbing.

PerfectCrin7e'
First Novel

A first novel Of startling magni-
tude is to be found between the
covers of 80 I Killed Her." by
Leonard o. Mosley, published this
week by Doubleday Doran.
In it the author has evolved
another perfect crime" But, this
time it is so perfect that it sticks.
A strange undercurrent Of human
ity throbs through the pages.
Durant Fletcher, author Of
numerous mystery thrillers, wins
the one woman in the world for
him from a weakling. Despite the
fact that the other man had been
put out of his wife's life when she
married him, the idea that he Still
had some influence over her be-
came q growing obseSsion in the
author. Very shortly after the
marriage, he decided that his wife
was unfaithful to him and he de-
termined to kill her and throw the
blame on his former rival.
The story, in frs person re-
counts the stage by stage advance
to the killing and the manner in
which Fletcher managed to have
the weakling sent to the chair for
the crime he committed. Full
realization of what he had done
with a smash surprise ending
comes as the other man is electro
cuted and too late for Fletcher to
save him.
1t is chuck full Of drama and
clever in its revelation Of human
emotion.

Modern Jimmy
Valentine

A modern Jimmy Valentine"
appears in the $500 prize Lppin-
colt mystery novel, The Man in
the Blue Mask"
It was written by Anthony Nor
ton and portrays the forayS
against the jewels of the wealthy
carried on by Lucky John Man
nering.
It seems that Mr.. John Manner
ing had streak of the gambler
in him. AS it invariably happens,
his horses ran the wrong way and
the little pellet in the roulette
wheel had habit Of stopping just
across the line from where his
chips repoSed.
When his luck had him down to
such an extent that he was visited
by two of his closest friends, who
tried to save the small principal
that he had inherited, he decided
that something had to be done.
Being a most engaging chap. as
modern "Raffles" must, he played
on his friendship with wealthy
Jewel collector and started on his
career, which began under the
pseudonym of Baron"
So cleverly did he cover up his
Jekyl and Hyde existence that the
very Scotland Yard detective who
was assigned to catch the Baron
sought the aid of John Mannering
to watch him.
Through the pages Of the book
you can follow the gay adventures
of John Mannering or the Baron"
as he devises and acts out coup
after coup.
It is a sure-fire thriller done in
the best taste and along the lines
of the finest of the society burglar
fiction.

Water CoIOrS

At the Arts Club Of Washington
there are two other excellent
shows, one the water colors Of
Alice Huger Smith and the other
a group of photographs from some
of the best made all over the world
in 1886.
The Smith water colors depict
a Carolina plantation in all its
phases. They are lovely things,
full of pale Southern colors-blue,
pink and gold.
Every one of them is beautiful,
color and action combined in each.
They show the colored workers on
the plantation in all their moods
at work, going to church, listening
to their boss.
Miss Smiths plantation water
colors have been gathered together
as Illustrations for a book recently
published by Herbert Ravenal
Sass. Her works have been &C
quired by the Delgado Museum,
New Orleans; the Atlanta Art AS
sociation and the Brooklyn and
Albany Institutes.
The photographs are superb.
Striking portraits, scenes of over.
whelming beauty, trick shots and
other types of photographs, all Of
which were reproduced in the
American Annual of Photography
for 1886, are included in the eX-
hibition.
The only Washingtonian repre-
