Candle in the Sun" Is her first
novel. And she writes Contrary
to the manner of first novelists)
about someone who certainly isn't
herself.
She takes an American girl
fresh from college and sends her
to a decadent empire in the West
Indies as the result of a haSty
marriage with q young Spaniard.
With this for q subject she
might well have turned out .
fairly conventional novel with o
foreign twist" Fortunately she
veered away from the formula
and turned out q great deal more.
In the first place the transition
from Avery Carpenter to Avery
Colon doesn't change Avery. Nor
does marriage change Herman,
whose father practically controls
insular politics.
Herman goes right on with his
feminine conquestS. Herman's
father goes right on plotting
against the government, and
Avery, being an alien by both
birth and instinct, soon finds her
self at the core of q great polit-
ical and domestic disturbance.
On the one side is her sympathy
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-05-22

for the laaraSsed governor from
the States. On the other her pity
for the long-Suffering island peas
antry. And, in addition to colonial
politics, there Is the matter Of her
mother-in-law whose devotion to
the old Spanish tradition ca1tr
weighs all reason.
Briefly. Avery has to put up
with q philsndering husband. the
Vaccinations of the local cacique
and the demands of the ancient
regime and. still manage to be- Q
human being.
She has O difficult time. That's
what makes her story exciting.
There are times when it stops
being exciting and starts being
Just plain tragic. She has o baby
with some very dark blood in ais
veins and is unfortunate enough
to fall in love with o man beyond
her reach. However, there is still
that saving gleam Of humor In
nearly all that Edith Roberts
writes. It does q lot for this book
and for Avery.

Complexities
No one viii ever be able to flg-
ure out how so shy q person could
1T the same time be such g.

such q considerate person could
be so stubSornly opposed to inter-
ferenos. Or why he was so con-
Stituted that the one thing he
wanted in all the world was the
one thing he could not have and
hold his throne.
The fact remains that the Ed
ward who tap d anc ed and
strummed ukeS was q far hail from
the Edward who grew up oppressed
by the importance Of being q
prince.
They say he even made grand
speeches at children's parties.
That In school he was uninter-
ested in ancient history because
he. wanted to get out and make
history himself. Mr.. Bolitho tries
to show why he never did and his
viewpoint is very interesting.

past season.
The Gaer exhibition Is unusual
and really beautiful. Mrs. GaeT
works In q great variety OF media
marble, copper, brass, silver.
bronze, terra Gotta and several
types Of wood.
There is something very strik
ing about each of her pieces. The
relief pieces are just as forceSul
as the sculptured heads.
Mrs. Gaer has taken several
characters from Biblical history
and made beautiful heads. She
has sculptured fine mother-and
child compositions and her animal
pictures in relief are most attrac

Romance Will
Not Die

A. cats eye ring flashes on the
finger Of his Junior partner and
Phillip Barring is flung headlong
back into the past.
And then, rather ruthleSsly. we
leave Phillip still cropping for some
answer to the sudden appearance
Of the ring and go back to look
at this past that means so much
to this successful aging financier.
It is a glorious story. Phillip,
feeling the pull Of his German
mother when the war broke out
in Europe, entered the German
espionage service. His first as
signment comes at the hands of
rieda-Frieda who is bound by
the ties of royalty to serve her
fatherland and to refuse mar
riage to Phillip whom she soon
comes to love with q passion that
Is thorough and generous.
When the Armistice is signed,
Frieda leaves Phillip to return
and take up whatever role her
country demands Of her. Phillip
comes home to nurse his dream
and wait. And then the ring and
back into his life comes Frieda.

1.-THE Falcon
Cuts In

And here is more fun, murder
and riot with 'The Falcon"
To introduce him properly one
must also take into consideration
his shadow. the Sarge. It would
be well to remember in making
the introduction that The Falcon
is q man of taste and discrimina'
ton. Therefore he can be counted
upon to do two or three things.
First, take Q crook apart with his
own meticulously manicured fin
gers and scatter the remains to
the four winds or to give . shrug
of his shoulder and let the Sarge
work on him.
It can be said that while the
Falcon undoubtedly is 3 man who
can take care Of himself the
Sarge is q man who could take
care Of The Falcon. himself and
anyone who happens along ct the
time and needs protection.
Much to the delight Of the many
who have followed The Falcons
movements In other books, The
Falcon also has g habit Of annoy
ing the police by solving crimes
for them in exactly the opposite
way from which they are accus-
toned. .r....le.,
All Of which promises pretty
exciting reading when it is con
sidered that 1.-THE Falcon cuts

Of Q man is hurled into the gut

Bruce McCale, a writer. drove

He considered himself pretty

notes from Mrs. Armstrong; II

could be that he would win o fel.

jimmy was the first person he
saw at Mrs. Armstrong;. Walling
was the next and If he could have
looked ahead he would have seen
that these two were going to en-
hroil him in murder and more
murder. '..
Suffice is to say that he didn't
get much work done on his Civil

got enough material to write

and drawings by o professional
group taking advanced studies in
the studios of Phillips Memorial
Gallery and Studio House under
the direction Of c. Law Watkins

through May %.
AT Studio House
The work at Studio House is
indicative of the trend among
young artists. The work runs the
gamut from straightlaced conven.
tionalism to the most extreme in
modernism.
Outstanding among the paint
ings is Julia Eckel's oil entitled
"'Burlesuue." It Is q large can
vas of q dancing girl done in the
style which Miss Eckel has made
famous.
Miss Eckel Is at her best in such
character portraits, and she
works, it seems. with greater ease
and skill on a large canvas than
on a small one.
Elizabeth Roberts, daughter OF
Justice Owen j. Roberts of the
Supreme Court, Is represented in
the exhibition with two still LIES.
Miss Roberts has carved quite
O. reputation for herself with her
still lifes, which attract attention
not only because they are by the
daughter of a famous man but be-
cause they are extremely at
tractfve.
Robert AIDES, whose portraits are
well known in Washington, is rep
resented In the exhibition by a
beautiful portrait entitled "Anne, 50
which has already been purchased
by Duncan Phillips. Of the Phillips

Don't make the mistake Of regarding Hector Bothos King

interest in the Simpson Mr. Botho has been doing

After the abdication he was
compelled TO rewrite many pass
ages. The result brings the story
up to date, providing 3 series OF
new and sometimes startling por-
traits Of the erstwhile Prince, Of
wales.
Leading Authority
Il is said that Hector Botttho
practically grew up with the late
King. The fact Is that he served
as the official narrator Of. Edward
when he was the Prince Of Wales.
He accompanied Edward on his
tour of New Zealand and in con-
sequence most Of his material was
gathered first hand.
In addition to all this Bolthio
ia recognized as "the leading
authority on the history Of the
Royal Family"
He is, in short. fully equipped
to reveal the human side of the
ex-King. His story Of the man who
had the shortest reign In the his
tory Of Great Britain is well worth
attention.
The best thing about the 30
litho biographies Is that they al
ways begin in such . disarmins
fashion.
The reader, dreading another
dry-as-dust history Sprinkled with
dates, finds instead a very charm
ing picture done In an easy
descriptive style.
Queen Victoria fortifies her
sight with belladonna as she
bends over the red dispatch boxes
from whitehall. She describes
the heir to the throne as q "fine.
strong-lo oking child She attends
his christening TO offer q carry.
ing cloak made from her own
wedding veil. She Is photographed
holding the baby on her lap. Thus
the stage is set.
Striking Contrast
The pages turn and Prince
David takes over the narrative.
He is still in sailor suits, but al
ready he knows that he is to be
King, and, in speaking Of that
time, he plans to pass q law
against cutting puppy dogs tails
and using bearing reins on
horses"
Further evidence Of his growing
character comes from sketches Of
his life st Osborne as q naval
cadet where he acquires the nick
name Of "Sardine." He revolts
against college tradition and gets
a bottle Of red ink poured down
his neck.
He developes q tendency. to-
ward self-analysiS and carries his
responsibilities seriously. His re-
lations with his grandfather the
King reveal striking contrast to
his Soberer side.
His travels abroad and expert
enceS as a soldier during the great
war complete the picture Of his
growth to manhood.
From this point Mr.. Bolitho
strives to show what made Edward
what he was and why Edward
could not realize that the uncon-
ventional ways of q popular
Prince of Wales did not suit a
monarch's stride.
He cannot, of course, explain
the Duke Of Windsor's dual nature.
But he can bear witness TO his
