The Fire Ok and Other Years
Bu Sudan Cuttiuo. Illus

By Sudan Cutting. Illus
trated NTH photographs. New
York: Charles Scribners Sons.
This is q record of series OF
expeditions into the globes various
hinterlands. Mr.. Cutting was .
member of the Roosevelt expedi-
ton into Chinese Turkestan in 1925.
This apparently gave him q taste
for travelling in dangerous spots,
and for the next IS years he in
dulged q wandering foot. In 1926,
he went to Ethiopia, then unravaged
by Europen conquest. In 1927, he
visited Assam. In 1928, he went
into Chinese Thibet. In 1880, he
investigated the Galapagos Islands.
In 1884, he was in Celebes. In 1887,
he overcame native prejudice to
white faces and entered Nepal. In
1899, he journeyed through upper
Burma. His wanderings included
three visits to Thibet with, in the
course Of the third one, admission
to Lhassa, the capital. He has writ
ten his account Of these variegated
travels IN this single thick volume,
which ought to be . treasure to
those who, for one reason or another,
have to do their voyaging from arm
chairs at home.
To review such q work in detail
Is. Of course, impossible. Mr.. Suy-
dam writes with an anatuer's con-
tagious enthusiasm, following gen.
orally the method Of reporting
progress day by day. The dim
culties Of travel over glaciers and
deserts and in high mountains,
the struggles with equipment, the
discomforts Of camp life, the dis
position of the various native popu-
lations and native servants, the
sights Of each days journey
these make up the bulk Of his
book. He also gives the necessary
historical background to make his
personal experiences entertaining.
A large collection Of photographs Is
used to illustrate the work, color
maps are included, and two color
reproductions Of the work Of artist
Alexandra Iacovlefi, showing native
types. Probably no one will want
to read the book straight through,
from cover to cover. but II is such

Modern Plays Are Popular

Although their work is widely
Divergent as to type, there are two
contemporary American playwrights
who have been highly successful on
the stage and whose work also
claims the readers interest because
both are masters OF dialog. These
are Clifford Odets, whose Paradise
Lost" is q play about the decay Of
the middle class, and Glare Boothe
whose The Women" is an amusing
commentary on the modern lady OF
leisure and means.

Plays are a popular form Of read
ing for many people who seldom go
to the theater, as we'll as for those
who have seen or expect to see a
particular play and want to clarity
for themselves the plot and char
acterizations. The Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, and its
branches have in their collections a
variety of modern play titles Of
particular appeal to the readers.
A dramatic masterpiece written
especially for the reader and not
for production is The Dynasts" by
Thomas Hardy, his greatest work
and the one for which posterity will
remember him, even in the unlikely
instance that all OF his other work
is forgotten. II Is an epic OF war
with Napoleonic setting and comes
close, in form, to an old Greek
tragedy, a form chosen by the
author because he thought it the
most fitting to his subject.
Most of George Bernard Shaw's
plays are good reading and he has
written with this idea in mind and
usually introduces them with . pre-
face, which is an exposition of his
purpose and point Of view. A rather
delightful recent play of his, which
as yet has not attained the dignity

history lesson, from Restoration
England.
The English novelist and drama
tist, Clemence Dane, has written
plays which, though seldom great
successes on the stage, are very
readable, among them Moor Fires, -"
a play about the Bronte family.

An unbeaten Milford High School Football combine makes its first local showing at Municipal Stadium, Saturday afternoon, when 1t goes after its lift hwin of the season against a spirited Leaven- worth High outfit dogged with plenty of bad luck, but blessed with plenty of spirit, a fair backfleld and an alert line.

 A special admission price of ten cents for grammar school pupils has been arranged for the Milford-Leav- enworth game, and with the admis- sion goes 8 chance to win fine, au- tographed football kickoff has been set for p. m. with Al Kellie, Chick Kelley and John Cluney to officiate at the game.

Har-rumph! If my mood today seems to be trif1e allegro, spot on the sprightly side, bit rech- erche, as we used to describe it when I was a student at the Paris Sorbonne-in short, if you wonder why I am feeling so well, just read my last weeks football predictions and then compare them with the actual resultS-hak-kaff!
 I made 27 selections for last Sat- urday. On IT of them I called the turn correctly. Two were ties. Egad, do you know of anyone who can do better?
 I had huge dish of tea this morning, along with some of Mar tha,s excellent tarts. Need remind you that I predicted Minnesota would beat Michigan?
 For lunch I had a haggis. Many people do not like haggis. I find its flavor is improved greatly with the addition of a bit of chutney. Need I remind you also that I pre- dicted California would triumph over Southern California?
 All in all, it was a splendid week. end for Hoople's Hot Ones. A much better record, I might add, than was made by some of the election polls-um-k -kumf!
 For next Saturday, let me give you-and this one will slay you, egad-Northwes to beat Mich- igan and Boston College to repulse Georgetown!
 For dinner this evening I am having a brave bit of mutton.

 MEET TONIGHT
Hard-Hitting WeIters Meet in Main GO at Bucking-
 ham Hall
By Hugo Hookjab

Three classes of boxers. small. medium and large, or to put it in technical ring terms-featherw welterweights and light heavy weights-will provide the alI-star &C., ton at Buckingham hall tonight on a f1ve-bout leather-pushing bill headed by Oscar Suggs of New Bed. ford and Francesca Montanari of Italy.
 Suggs, the New Haven negro 15o- pounder who decisively defeated Dick Turcotte, is making his initial showing in Waterbury, and there is no doubt he will have no soft touch In Montanari, despite his knockout by Cat Robinson a few weeks ago, for the Italian is not only tough, but a tireless, courageous ringman with knockout punch. They are down for eight rounds and the fight prom ises to be a genuine 24-karat, hon. est t-to-goodness thriller"
 Champ to Show
 A promising f1stic treat is on tan with the companion eight-rounder which will show Andre Sarilla, featherweight champion of Panama, against Dom Fiantini of New York, the lad who licked Johnny Compo of New Haven, then was matched in return bout for tonight, but Compo pulled out with one of those heavy cold" alibis. His "cold" was improved enough yesterday for him to ask for action in New Haven, but he could not get 1t, because his con- tract is on file at the state athletic commission offices to fight Fiantini in Waterbury, and he can't fight in Connecticut until he fulfills his local obligation or is released from 1t by the Waterbury A. c. Sarilla is con- sidered fine substitute for Compo for he has beaten Joey Stack and Tony Forte and has draw with the able Joey Fontana.
 Jimmy Bell and Red Doty, from New Haven and Hartford, respective ly, are down for six-round special that ought to be something to cheer about. Bell swears he will stop Doty "as soon as he catches up with him" but that is no easy task, for, in ad- dition to being shifty ringman, the Insurance City redhead is hard puncher in his own right. Bell should win, but not without his best efforts in what shapes up as fine fight.
 Doty has knocked out Bobby Ellis of New Britain no less than three times, and Ellis, you may recall, is the lad who stopped Jimmy Bell in one of the greatest fights ever seen at Buckingham hall.
