blue serge suit and the ease with
which he enacted his part.

dress colors. They were Martha
Ann Gandolfo, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Gandolfo, blue

told that gas was the fuel used
most for cooking-that practical
ly no coal reached the island and
that very little fuel oil was used.
The gas plant has its supply of
coke brought down from Tampa
or some other Gulf port and the
rate charged the consumer Is
about S1.45 per 1000 feet.
We then happened to mention
electricity. Yes, We use electri-
city for both lighting and power q,
we were told. But it is very
high. First we have to pay SIS
for each meter installed and that
means $50 if. anyone is to use
both light and power. And then
it depends on how much is used
per month on top of that. Some
months my bill reaches S45, some
months little less, but it is apt
to be high, for not every one
reaches the low rate.
And Key West is an island
about 100 miles away from Flor
ida just as Nantucket is an island
about thirty miles from Massa-
chusetts. Neither island has any
industries. Both depend upon
visitors and tourists for their
livelihood. Rather interesting,
People in Key West are some

dispatch. But Key West people

composer, was honored guest with
Beatrice Lille and Fanny Brice, who
begged, "C'mon, professor, play us

In two notable instances, Mr.
Levant adopts an attitude Of utter
earnestness. Closer to the Gershwin
clan than any other outsider" ever
was, he gives an intimate glimpse
Of the great George at the peak OF
his career. The only section OF
the book that really assumes specific
direction, however, voices Mr.. Le-
wants conviction that the American
composer, having been neglected for
too long, has at last definitely start
ed to assert himself through such
leaders as Aaron COPELAND, Eliza
beth Sprague Coolidge, Virgil Thom-
son and Deems Taylor.
And so Oscar Levant tests his
literary wings-amateurish Che dis
armingly admits though the effort
may be. He hasn't failed to scuf{
a shin where he feels q scufi1ng
due-and since he names names, has
probably made few personal enc

they habitually add hypocrisy to

With this horrid truth clearly set
down, Mr.. Ryan then strides ruth
lessly through history. down to the
present times and on into the fu-
ture, pointing to some fatal human
weakness at every step.
Or, to put it more exactly, in each
of his stories he takes up the case

the fault is with society rather than
with the individual The criminal,
the tyrant, the martyr, the coward,

seem to have supplied him with his
material, from which he has done
little more than a rewrite job. He
is, too, one feels, somewhat arbitrary
at times-as, for example, when in
demonstrating the pathos of the
mental detectives case. he chooses
for his subject a youth who had
been born with superior brain
and had broken under the strain
of being exhibited as a prodigy.

is dealing, one feels justified in

A Smottering of Ignorance

There is considerably more worth
knowing about Oscar Levant than
the general radio or music public
realizes. "A Smattering of Igno-
rance" Mr.. Levant's first try at writ
ing, amounts to a random synopsis
of his life, viewpoint and experience
and affords a bright reflection of
an entertaining personality whose
intense interest in American music
is inspiring.
Mr.. Levant, despite a weakness
for humorous situations, shows him.
self to be an earnest person, who,
contrary to a possible impression,
is far from being a mere wag. The
Levant revealed in these pages is
indeed a rare paradox of sophistica-
ton and naivete, seriousness and
prankishness, tenderness and cal
lousness. And it is the careless good
humor capable of finding a laugh
in anything or any one (himself
included that forms the predomi-
mating overtone to his character.
Among other things, Mr.. Levant's
book is veritable storehouse Of
anecdotage. The writer devotes q

the typical history of those COM
monty known as mental detectives. p"
Similarly, in the story of the coward,
there is little that one can use as
typical material.
These objections made, however,
it is necessary to repeat that the
indignant Mr.. Ryan has driving
style which holds the attention.
You read him with interest when he
is telling a story and care enough
for his fiction to skip his sociologi-
cal sermons in order to get on to
his next tale. The story of Sparta
Gus, for example-called 'Ihe Prole-
tariat"-is first rate, and the one
about Tiberius Caesar-"The Ty-
rant is no mean job. When

The Sfor-Gozer

BIZ Zsolt de Harsany. Trans
lated from the Hungarian by
Paul Tabor. NeU York: G. P.
Putnan1's Sons.
This novel, which is the Book OF
the Month Club choice for February,
has had a rather nervous entree to
the American public. 1t was an
nounced for publication sometime
last fall, but has been successfully
postponed. Now that it is out at
last, we are told that it is great
favorite in Europe, where it has sold,
in various countries, some $4,000
copies. 1t is an historical-biograph-
ical thing-the life of the great
Renaissance mathematician Calico.
AS piece of bright, shallow, color
full, historical fiction, the work can
be heartily recommended. 1t gives
US lively picture of Galileo's times,
replete with plausible romantic pad
ding. 1t is all very readable. If you
want to enjoy the sword and doublet
atmosphere for while and, at the
same time, improve your acqualnt-
ance with the career of famous
man, you can hardly do better than
to read THE Star r-Gazer." But that
| is about all the reviewer can say on
the subject.
For the work is all bright surface.
1t does not go into Galileo's depths,
either as man or as a scientist. 1t
shows him, rather, as a Hollywood
concept of romantic genius, one
who went through his life perpetu-
ally shifting his brow and exclaiming
that he had made a great discovery
otherwhiles roistering gayly with
young blades and drinking deep
His contributions to science were
apparently accidents or pure in
spiration. The outlines of his career
are certainly to be found in the
book, but the character drawing is
lamentable in it's naivete.
1t may be repeated, however, that
the background is done with consid-
erable liveliness. The pictures Of the
Renaissance neutrality-suspicious.
ly that of Padua-are good. The
seething hunger of the day for in
tellectual freedom Mr.. De Harsanyi
dramatizes pretty well. His Renais-
sance world, indeed, contains all the
features of modern one-Tory and
liberal, genius and plodder, thinker
and routinist, all thrown into their
familiar oppositions.
