Albert Einstein

Bu H. Gordon CARIBBEAN.
New York.: Frank & Wdg-
nails Co.
The impact of the picturesque
violin playing mathematician, Al
bert Einstein, on the age in which
he happens to live is incalculable.
The consequences of that impact
on cosmology, philosophy, religion
and daily living still remain. for
the most part, to be realized in the
future. However, the details of his
revolutionary hypothesis may suffer
at the hands of his younger follow
ers, the man himself is assured of
a place in history beside Newton and
Kepler. He has been, as Mr.. Gar
bedian calls him in his subtitle, .
maker of universes." Already his
work is beginning to bring some
practical results for the man in
the street, in contrast to the con-
fusion into which it has thrown his
thinking on the fundamentals of
life and the physical universe.
The man himself is now an exile
from his native land because of his
Jewish ancestry. He is by far the
most distinguished of that large
group of world famous men whom
the United States has welcomed in
the past few years. He lives now
at 112 Mercer street, Princeton, N.
j., with his step-daughter, house.
keeper who has been with the fam
lily for years, his beloved violin and
a pet cat-really quite a domestic
and human old gentleman who fits
very we'll into the daily life of the
university town.
Ever since World War days when
his theories first came to public at
tention Einstein has been a man
OF mystery. Perhaps there has been
some suggestion of the sinister about
him in the public imagination. The
popularization of his concepts has
been as weird as any writer of
creep" stories could ask-time and
space which circle back on them
selves, matter which melts into
light, etc. His appearance has added
to this suggestion. Unconsciously,
perhaps, Einstein is consumate
actor, in spite Of his outward shy
ness. He is the model for moving
picture actor who attempts to por-
tray the popular conception OF
great scientist.
But countless little incidents since
his arrival in America have shown
him to be a gentle, charitable,
friendly man and a simple, home
loving citizen. Mr.. Garbedian tries
to follow the development of Elm
stems concepts and the long voy-
age upon which they have taken
him through unknown seas of
thought alone" At the same time
he tries to present a picture of the
flesh h-and-blood man-the little boy
who went to school with other lit
tie boys, the married man and head
of q household who had to worry
over the grocery bills, the lover Of
nature, the indignant defender Of
the oppressed.
This is the first biography of Elm
stein, the human being. There have
been plenty Of biographies Of Elm
stein, the discarnate mind. T. r. II.

Strows in Amber
By Naomi Jacob. Ne1D York

By Naomi Jacob. Ne1D York:
Macmillan e. Co.
This Is a typical Naomi Jacob
novel. Having read one, you have
the formula for all Of them. Briefly,
they are all tales of Jewish or half
Jewish boys in an English atmos-
phere, their meeting with the one
and only girl, who is seldom Jewish
and their overcoming of many OBJ
stacles until the final clinch. The
boy is always superintendent, hard
working, faithful and successful.
The girls, as rule, are allowed
little more latitude.
That is not to say, however, that
the novels are dull or uninteresting
Quite the reverse is true. Being a
master Of plot, having her char
acters quite pat, and being at home
in the English atmosphere, Naomi
Jacobs manages to make Of each
of her novels, although she uses the
same ingredients for all, an indi-
vidual thing. full Of interest for
the reader who wants . book that

Before he became a newspaper
man, Van Paassen, Dutch born, was
a Methodist missionary among a
colony of Ruthenians in Western
Canada. He passes on the story Of
this ecclesiastical interlude in his
book as part of the introduction to
his life of studying the great and
the odd at close quarters for the
daily press. The life is exciting, but
the authors active mind and his
rich prose gives the book even
more spark than Van Paassen's life.
He is a thinking Calvinist, socialist
and pacif1st, always ready to turn his
intellect loose to explore When
his adventures are incredible, his
literary skill makes them appealing
The mildest happening he cloaks
with the intensest drama. He
parades before the reader a host
of famous men and women; he takes
down the hair of all.
The New York Evening World
sent Van Paassen to Europe shortly
after the World War, in which the
Dutchman fought IS a Canadian
soldier. He was a roaming corre-
spondent, studying the human fauna
and mems manners in Europe
Northern Africa and the Near East.
The book-story of what he has
seen and thought abroad since he re-
ceived the Worlds assignment gives
him first place in a library of works
by foreign correspondents; even
Sheean stands behind him. He had
his adventures with the old Clemen-
ceau, no longer an official, and with
the young Hitler, not yet a Fuhrer
He describes in fascinating length
the business of obtaining an inter-
view with Mussolini and the be-
havior Of Mussolini during the inter-
view. He talked with Marshal
Lyautey, the famous French ad-
min.strator, on how he would have
dealt with Christ if he had been

Marshal said after granting that
PLATE was justified in putting Jesus
to death. Il would have had Him
put before the firing squad in His
home province, up north in Galilee. :"
Van Paassen, himself, spent
months in Palestine for his paper
until Arab pressure forced him to
leave. He was in Ethiopia during
the Italians invasion. Whatever
happens to him he passes on with
spirit. This is q very entertaining
book. B. B.

Seventy Times Seven
By John Sanford. New York.:
Alfred A KnOnf

6y JOHH SQHJOTQ. NeU 1OTk.
Alfred A. Knopt.
It is not often that an author gets
this hardy reviewer completely
stumped. On the contrary, age and
disillusion have brought her to a
point of weary clear seeing from
which 1t is her shameful boast that,
no matter what gibberish the men,
bers Of the writing profession may
please to use in lieu of established
language, and no matter at what
cross-eyed angle they persist in
viewing the ordinary processes of
life, she still can track down and
decipher whatever meaning there
may be within their proclamations.
But Mr.. John Sanford in this pres
ent opus is simply too much. The
reviewer is obliged to confess that
she has not the remotest idea of
what his book Is about. And she
adds that, beyond considerations of
professional pride, she does not re-
motely care.
For it is that kind Of book-no-
body could be interested in it. It
is a novel and in the course of 1t a
tramp with tuberculosis wanders
into barn on subzero day and
lies in an empty stall for about
week, whereafter he dies. The owner
of the barn also wanders-he wanders
in and out to feed and milk the cows
and sometimes in passing he gives
the tramp kick in the face or
tramples on his fingers. At other
times he and the tramp exchange
memories, the tramp's being happy
and the farmers unhappy. One
gathers that the farmers father
used him badly in his childhood and
so one suspects the Oedipus complex
as lurking somewhere about. But
even this clue does not suffice to
clear up the mysterious purpose be-
hind Mr.. John Sanford's inkery.
Everybody just goes on wandering
and by and by the farmer is sum-
moned to answer for the tramp's
death, but is let of. And that is
all. A published novel-friends and
countrymen!
There are. incidentally, great
many four letter words. One as
sumes that the author Is rather

Forever Wilt Thou Love
". Ludwig Le1Oisohn. N

York: The Dial Press.
This dreary and unfortunate novel
is far from being likely to add any,
thing to its authors reputation. 1t
Is such thing as used to come out
quite regularly in the early 20s, If
you remember, work of the kind
which was then hailed as an ex-
preston of healthful paganism
or as a salutary revolt against puri-
tanism, or as something similar.
Sherwood Anderson used to do
them; indeed, he reached his peak
OF folly at the type in an incredibly
maundering thing called, If the re-
viewer forgets not, Many Mar
riages." And since that forlorn dis
sertation, the sole end of which
was to bring to the world the tidings
that the race is composed of males
and females, there has also been
Prof. Vardis Fisher busy at his ink
pots, keeping the news alive. But
in the main the bright new shock
with which the populace received
the amazing word has completely
subsided and most of us are able
today to hear that adults of our
kind love, marry and mate without
feeling either overwhelming shock
or incredulity.
So it is pretty surprising to find
Mr.. Ludwig Lewisohn reverting to
the age of discovery once again.
And it is more than surprising to
find that, in his reversion, he uses
not only the worst cliches of that
time, but also the worst possible
style of any. One is compelled to
decide that Mr.. Lewisohn has no
sense of humor. For If he had the
least vestige of that sense, his own
work would have reduced him to
stitches. After which he would
blushingly have torn it up and cast
it into a fiery furnace.
1t is one of those novels in which
one man tells story-tells it; that
is, from beginning to end of the
book, allowing nothing else what
ever to happen between the covers.
In this case the narrator is one
Mark, a disappointed architect, who
is laying bare to his wife and a
party of his friends the history Of
a love affair which he once enjoyed
with somebody's stenographer. 1t
was a profoundly beautiful episode,
says Mark. and his subsequent
peeve has been that world would
have failed to understand that
beauty and would have thought the
matter wicked. This makes him
very bitter and he drinks great
deal of wine. Had he not lost his
little friend, he cries. he would have
been a great artist indeed. Mr..
Lewisohn seems to think so too,
and you, for your part, are asked
to believe it. Well, it is just pure
tripe.
