The recent literary award bestowed upon Ell.
len Glasgow for the high quality of her novels
over a period of years could have been award
ed no one more worthy Of it. The distinction
~testifies to the belief of the judges that no
American writer has produced such consistent
ly outstanding work during the past several
years.
Ellen Glasgow is one of the greatest novelists
this country has produced, and she is certainly
the greatest living Southern novelist. Her
work over a long period of years has been
consistently on a high level, and yet it has re-
vealed that developing workmanship which is
characteristic of the really great artist.
Anyone who is genuinely familiar with her
work, we believe, will support the statement
that she has few peers in the creation of char
acter. Her novels are not noteworthy Tor the
action which they depict but rather for the
people in them and their relations with one
another. Her method seems to be to create
people in whom she is interested and then to
explore their reactions upon each other. She
is interested in seeing their response to GER
tain circumstances.
No one who has read The Romantic Come
dians" will ever forget Judge Honeywell, rep
resentative of eternal youth. No one who has
read 'Virginia' will ever forget the woman
whose name is the title of the book. No one
who has read They STOPPED to Folly" will
ever forget Mr.. Littlepage, that puzzled Vic
torian, or Edmonia, who had the courage OF
her vices, or Mil]y, who believed that the re-
greet for what one had done was never so
great as Ne regret for what one hadn't done.
No one who has read Barren Ground" Will
ever forget Dorinda, the innocent young girl
who developed into a woman Of heroic por-
portions.
We may not always remember everything
that happened in these novels, but the people
we never forget. This is proof of the effective
ness of Miss Glasgow's method.
With her power to create characters, Miss
Glasgow combines the ability to write such
prose as few other writer's ever have been
able to write. Certain passages in her novels.
especially in the later ones, glow with the fire
of lyric poetry. And, above all, she possesses
the ability to look into human emotions and
see those things which are hidden to us or
binary mortals. This is the reason her people
invariably are so interesting.
The choice of Miss Glasgow to receive this
award cannot help but meet with great ap.
proval. /

On that charge they all submit

However, they were warned that
if they are arrested and convicted
again of the same offense they
will be fined.
The law. prescribes a fine OF SIC

Practically all of the violators
said either that they had not read
in the newspapers where a drive
against illegal parking was being
waged, or, having read that per-
sons who park their cars on the
paved streets of the city between
/ a. m. and 6 a. m. were being ar

Sights And Sounds
In Hollywood
BY ROBIN o

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 22.-They
like Franchot Tone on the set of
Trail of the Vigilantes."
They haven't given him an iced
water shower, as Mischa Auer re-
ceived when the script specified
merely a shower, but they don't
spare him otherwise. Those fun
loving Rover Boys-Brod Crawford
and Andy Devine-let their ribs"
fall where they may, and Director
Allan Dwan, after Franchot has
finished a scene, clucks with mock
admiration: isn't he wonderful"
To all of which our Franchot
smiles, unruffled, and joins in.
This is worth recording only be-
cause, on this set, few had been
prepared to like Franchot. This
shows how players can get them
selves placed in a hearsay niche.
Franchot's, in advance, was the
niche reserved for the aloof, the
slightly superior, the I-don't-like
Hollywood type, the humorless &C
tor. How players get assigned to
these inches is another matter,
with its roots in gossip and rumor
which are the soil of Hollywood.
I'd like to give you today's Fran
chot, back on the sets after a year
and a half on the stage. He's be-
tween scene on his canvas dress
ing room, still in his cowboy
clothes, and sprawling lankily in
a sitting-stretching position across
the studio couch.
NO." he said, I'm not going
back to the stage-unless I get 3
helluva good play. But most of
the good playwrights are writing
pictures, and most plays a be
done better on the screen.
Il think it's good for actors to
get back once in a while. Fresh
ems 'em up, just as a change is
good for everybody in any field.
l needed to get back, myself, to
appreciate picture-making m o r e
The stage isn't hard-24 hours a
week at best, but it's combining.
Here you do something new every
day, you can find laughs on the
set. You can find gags on the
stage, too, but it had better be
offstage, and in whispers. Here
they help you cry-with menthol.
You can cry on the stage, too,
with a mentholated handkerchief.
It's the same business-there you
it all together, here you do it
piecemeal, and they're both all
Stage and screen both have
their screwball side - like the
whole entertainment business"
AS if bearing him out, an as
sistant poked his head in the door:
."Franchot, we need the back of
your right ear"
Then I'll comb just the right
side Of my hair" said Franchot,
and SO doing, went to do his bit.
he resumed:
"Generally 1 find movies easier.
The parts I've been doing on the
have been pretty much a
nervous strain. Emotional stuff.
Great parts, but they wore me
down. In Fifth Column l had a
long final speech. Kept trying to
top myself and came up finally
strained vocal cords. On the
other hand, there are tough days
in pictures.
In other words, Franchot is glad.
