Professor Phelps Discusses Current Plays And Nouels

who also added that none of the novels of this year reached the peak attained by Gone With the Wind".
 "You Can't Take It With You" was selected by Prof. Phelps as the best play of this season and last year as well. The speawer brief ly reveiwed several of the current plays and novels in a manner which proved most satisfactory to the audience. Two plays which had full houses in last weeks showing were George M. Cohan's 'I'd Rather Be Right" and Julius Caesar. The former play which the professor saw in Boston is most amusing and in spite of its satire Is not the least bit objectionable.
 In the opinion of the speaker "Of Mice and Men" is too full of low down people to be worth while. On the new plays, Susan" was pointed out as one of the best of the newer lot and Professor Phelps said 1t was the best play written by Maxwell Anderson in several years Also included in the better plays in the new group was ::"The Wo- men,.
 Dealing with novels the speaker added Kenneth Roberts North west Passage" to the selected list Also in the better class was "A Mighty Fortress" by Cannon and Emma" the story of the friendship of three modern business girls. Gelett Bergess's book Look Eleven Years Younger" is one of the best self-help books Of the present time. "Citadep by Dr Cronan was also mentioned as being good by Prof. Phelps.
