From Another World
BIZ Louis Unter7nt

By Louis Untermeyer. NeU
York: Harcourt, Brace G. Co.
Having read this book by Mr.. Un-
termeyer, the reviewer has one sug-
geStion to make. And that is that, If
any more of the men and women
who know John (Jack) Reed in his
merry, made, mocking, noble, revolu-
tionary youth decide to write their
"reminiscences, they hold a conven-
ton and apportion dates for publica-
ton so that no two books shall come
out within three days of one another
For John (Jack) is getting to be the
least bit of drug on the reminis-
cence market. So, in fact. is the
whole crowd of pre-War reformers
who forcgathered so merrily, madly.
mockingly and nobly down in Mac
dougall Alley in the dear, dead
merry mad mocking noble day and
edited the old Masses, and took
thrifty notes on one anothers wit,
and did nothing when the pinch
came, and have accomplished moth
ing since but unnotable articles in
magazines or merely respectable
poetry-and now visit a very fux OF
autobiographies on the market pur-
porting to define an era, or recap
ture vanished world, or body forth
faint perfume or something.
The reviewer has always noted
this; she commented on it only a
couple of weeks ago when Hutchins
Hapgood's version of that mellow,
rainbow tinted time came off the
presses, dripping lavender. She re-
marked then that the chief contri-
button which now comes from the
members of the group that once
planned to make a world seems to be
little anecdotes about one another S
salad days, that the people who
Evening star., 1939-10-08

wished to tear down society survive
to build up legend. And now here
is one more volume in which there
is good bit of the same stuff. And
its just the same stuff. That is all
anybody could possibly say about it.
For the rest, Mr.. Untermeyer has
gone into essays on rather more i'm
portant and durable figures. He
writes of Amy Lowell, H. l.. Mencken,
Elinor Wylie, Sinclair Lewis, Vachel
Lindsay. He is, as any one would
know, entertaining though somewhat
heavily on the whimsical side. He
sees the humor-o of -it-all; he sees
that duitfully. He will get a light
touch in if he has to kill somebody
His volume is as good as any of the
others. In taking it for a text of
protest the reviewer would make it
clear that it is its predecessors as
well as itself which weigh her down.
1t is the cumulative effect of the
coyness which has gone before which
makes his own coyness too tiresome.
But there he is, and, if you have not
read the two or three dozen others
you might find him delightful. He
admits that in his youth he called
himself Peter Pantheist." If you
don't gag on that the rest of the book
won't hurt you.

Doctors Oral

By George r. Stewart. NeD
York: Random House.
This novel is somewhat unusual.
1t is not merely an attempt to en-
tertain the public: it is an effort to
paint a picture through the use of
a rather different literary approach.
It's treatment, in fact, is reminis-
cent of that outstanding work of
Virginia Woolf's, "Clarissa Dallo-
way"
The entire action takes place
within little more than Is hours,
from the time the hero, Joe Grant
land, gets up one morning until he
goes to bed that night. The plot
deals chiefly with his state of mind
before, during, and after his oral
examination for the degree of doctor
of philosophy. We learn much about
the university and the other char
acters, but the primary function of
this information is to spotlight the
chief protagonist. In essence, the
author has deliberately limited his
subject to point where he can treat
1t in minute detail His achieve
ment lies in the vividness with which
he can make a simple milestone in
ones man-life assume all the dra-
matte interest of a nations struggle
for survival.
DR.. Stewart writes with sympathy
and understanding this story of q
university; furthermore, he writes
well. It is not a great novel, but it
is an honest and engaging effort.
His characters may appear unim-
portant, but that is merely because
they are human. The story may ap-
pear to be trivial, but Its simple mar
ration Of human striving is more
eternal even than are the heroics Of
great war. J.. "A.
