The Heroes

The Heroes
By Millen Brand. NeW York.
Simon and Schuster.
Mr.. Brand who, year or so ago,
wrote a best selling novel called
''The outward Room" has con-
tinued here his interest in institu-
tions The outward Room" dealt
with an insane woman who escaped
from an asylum and won her mental
balance back simply by taking a
place in the world. 1.-THE Heroes"
deals with World War veteran who
enters a soldiers home and there
sees his companions undergoing dis
integration induced by their feeling
that. in the world, there is no place
for them. One can conclude, from
the two novels, that Mr.. Brand does
not like institution life and considers
that men and women are generally
better off going it on their own, no
matter parlous that progress may
turn out to be-
That is all there is to this story,
really. George Burley, the veteran,
enters the home after the depres-
sion has wiped out his cabinet
makers job. There is a tepid little
romance between him and factory
girl whom he meets while he is an
inmate, but the real business of the
book is to show how the men live
behind the institution walls. 1t
shows them to be we'll looked after
physically, and in terrible discon-
tent mentally. Bye-and-bye George
gets his bonus bonds and is able to
leave the place. He marries his

goets up a cabinet shop OF his own.

My Days of Strength
By Anne Walter Fear

~ AftHC w utLCI + Cufb ~. NCU
York.: Harper & Bros.
While books about and by doctors
and books about China have multi
piled ad nauseam in the last few
months, yet this is a book that can
not be denied. 1t is the biography OF
DR.. Anne Walter Fearn, pioneer
among woman doctors, a pioneer
doctor in China, a pioneer in estab-
fishing medical school In China
open to women as we'll as men and
evidently pioneer in social rela-
tions in China. The book holds the
fascination of the far-off and
strange revealed by a person to
whom both seemed near and inti-
mate. It holds the interest which
medical anecdotes generally do for
both professional and general read
erS.
One finishes the book with a dis
tinct wish to meet the author. That
Is, perhaps, the greatest tribute one
can tender writer. r. r. T.

Flower of Smoke


Charles Scribner's Sons.
This is a novel devoted to the
theme that if woman wishes to be
human being rather than just an
adult female of the species homo
sapiens, she can achieve her desire
but will have some cruel suffering to
do on the way. 1t is, of course, a
perfectly sound idea. So also do two
and two make four.
Countess Gizycka takes for her
guinea pig in the demonstration a
young woman born of Austrian and
American parentage whose true
tastes are for the Old World but
whose up bringing has been in an ex-
pensive American finishing school,
just that. Gifted, innocent and ro-
mantle, this young person is casual
ly tossed into the New York society
Of the jazz age and very promptly
comes cropper by marrying the first
man who makes love to her, she
being, we were told, under the i'm
preston that that is immortal ro-
nance. The rest of the book is her
scramble to get back on her balance.
1t ends with the heroine nicely
adjusted to the world again, q poet,

A Book of Short Stories

By Marin Gorki. Edited by
ADrahm Yarmolinsky and
Baroness Mourd Budberg. With
a toreWord by Aldous Hurley.
NeW York: Henry Holt G. Co.
This is a very good new transla-
ton of nine of Gorki's tales, to-
gether with six which have never
before appeared in English. And
what a pleasure it is, indeed, to
read the work of true tale teller
today. in this period of desiccation
in the short-story field and of mech
anized fiction which seems to have
been gotten by a set of compasses
on a blue print rather than by any
vital creative spirit in our authors!
The mantle of Cork, like those Of
all successful story writers, fell upon
wide territory, sure enough. One
sees its imprint still today-chiefy
IN the works of the school which
inclines to social-minded themes.
But the genius of the mantle's
Wearer is not in this modern work
and the simple virtues which Cork
used for his fictional colors-hu-
mility, pity, freshness and, above all,
wonder-these are most terribly
lacking. A smart-aleck cocksure-
ness takes their place and the stories
suffer accordingly.
So the reviewer recommends this
volume to those who do not already
have Cork on their shelves, just
as collection of stories which can
be read with absorbing interest. If
you love the short story. you can
hardly do better on the present mar
ket. The reviewers own choice in
the volume. she would say. is THE
Evil Doers" And the one which
she liked least is "Karamora, a
long, rambling thing in which Cork
tried to explain human brotherhood.
That was thing about which he
knew too much. He could create it,
but when he tried to expound its
principles he was lost in the abun-
dance of his own emotions. Still,
there are IA other tales beside this
one, and they are all accomplished
and readable things,

ably fail, but is told that he is
happier CHANGING it.
1t is a realistic book, abounding
in real talk. real situations and real
life. But, like much of real life, it
is uneventful. It's movement is slug
gish and its colors are gray. A pro-
tographic thing, in fact, monotonous
and depressing.

Napoleon in Review

By George Gordon Andrews.
With an Introduction by Carl
L. Becker. Ne1D York.: Alfred
A. Knopt.
This series of 10 essays on
Frances one time Fuehrer is re-
viewed here not because it contains
any new or significant material, but
because its subject is one which al
ways holds an interest for a large
group of readers. Napoleon, the
model of all dictators, is also the
private hero of many a quiet and
sedentary citizen whose existence
will never hold a greater excite
ment than that attendant upon
having the tenders of his automo-
bile smashed in parking accident.
And such citizens, book sellers say,
never neglect any work on the life
of the Great Man. Consequently
the reviewer feels that a descrip-
ton of this volume is indicated, un-
remarkable though the work Is.
~ 40, ao oe1AAS q oCAACo Vi essay ..
Each essay is given over to a study
of different aspect of the hero. In
the introduction, by Prof. Becker,
teacher'of history at Cornell Univer-
sity, is to be found as good sum-
ming up of the volume as may be.
AS he puts it, Prof. Andrews (for-
merly of Iowa University prepared
this material in order Ito made vivid
to his students the man Napoleon
his professed and his real motives,
his incredible egoism and boundless
ambition, the cold ruthlessness and
the dramatic fim-f1am of his tech
nique for mastering men and cir
cumstances for his own aggrandize-
ment and what, for him, was the
same thing) the welfare Of man
kind"
1t is, in short, then, a sort Of
introduction to the study Of last
century's dictator. As such it can
be safely recommended.

The Middle Window
By Elizabeth Goudge.

York.. CODdrd McCann.
This is a very, very sweet his
torical novel in which young
couple whose love is rudely cut off
in the battle of Culloden are resur-
rected to meet and love again, this
time more happily, in our modern
day. 1t is sure-fire stuff, designed
to join the omeo-and-Juliet tears
for the first pair of lovers with
contentment over the happy ending
of the second. And having shovel
ed these two sentiments in with
great liberality, Miss Goudge Getty
of Bells') troubles herself not at all
for more subtle considerations. Her
book is just sobs and smiles and
sobs and smiles from beginning to
end. If you like that, get out your
handkerchief and have a perfectly
wonderful time.
