NV Last Million Readers
By Emile GauUreau. E. P. Dut-
ton Co., Ne1D York.


Another newspaperman tells his
story here 1t is not a reporter this
time, but an editor, and the story
is not concerned with Europe's pres
ent battlefields, but with Americas
past headlines. Mr.. Gauvreau was
editor of the New York Graphic and
the New York Mirror in the hey
day of rising tabloidism, and he did
his share to make American journal
ism, on the tabloid level, as sordid
as it is. He confesses it. He was
success. He did what his papers
owners wanted him to do--he pro-
vided fare for the million. His
story is what we have learned to
call a parade, for his position
brought him in touch with almost
all the great figures of his time.
1t is nard to give reader an
idea of the atmosphere of his work.
1t deals with what we consider
greatness-great names, great repu-
tations, great power-and yet the
essential ingredient of the whole
thing is absurdity. The editor sat
too close to the mighty.
He began his career in New Eng
land, on the conservative old Hart
ford Courant. He was fired for
making an exposure of the mall
practice of certain diploma mill
physicians" He went to New York
with letter Of introduction to the
New York Times and VAs told 70

that Macfadden was the only sim
cere publisher whom he ever knew.
He also remarks that his own hair
turned gray before he was in his
middle 30s.
From the earnest world of Mac
fadden to the glittering empire of
Hearst was only step, but it was
step, of course, which represented
progress upward in the tabloid
world-Mr. Macfadden was never a
real success. And from that step on,
Mr.. Gauvreau's book widens con-
stantly. Not just the figures of New
York's daily news are his material,
but figures of national renown.
Presidents, philanthropists, finan-
ciers. Stage people, writers, visiting
celebrities. And, above all, great
names in the newspaper world
Brisbane, Hearst, Kobler, Beatrice
Fairfax, Annenberg. Garrett, Walker,
Gen. johnson, Pegler. And many
others. It is impossible to give the
flavor with which Mr.. Gauvreau
writes of these people, save to say
that it is authentic-and always
hauntingly absurd. His work is, in
deed, very revealing reflection of
the modern spirit. He was engaged
most of his life in advancing cor
rupting influence among the people,
and, because he could measure his
achievement in figures and charts,
he accepted himself as q success.
Occasional passages expressing doubt
make a small showing beside the
accomplished facts Of his career.

Public Library Suggests
Books on Orchestras

Sonnel, sources Of income and the
possibility of Government support
for orcheStras through the establish
ment of a Federal Bureau of Fine
Arts.
David EWens informal sketches of
great conductors in The Man With
the Baton" and the similar portraits
in Bernard Shores The Orchestra
Speaks" emphasize the importance
of the conductors role in building
an orchestra. In these two books
the reader will meet not only those
conductors already long familiar
to American audiences-StokoWski,
ToScanini and Koussevitsky - but
less -well-known conductors like
Bruno Walter and Sir Thomas
Beecham.
Walter DamroSch. now recognized
as the dean of American conductors,
has carried on the work begun by
Theodore Thomas. In his autobiog-
raphy, My Musical Life" he tells
of his IL years as conductor of the
old New York Symphony Orchestra,
now merged with the Philharmonic,
and Of the development of the chill
dren'S concerts and radio lectures.
The popularity of Toscanini with
the American public has been phe-
nomenal. even for this celebrity
loving country. During his nine
year reign as conductor of the Phil
harmonic, and in the successful
radio concerts with the N. B. c.
Symphony, he has eXerted a tre-
mendous influence in the sphere of
orchestra music and has set a STAN
dard that borders on perfection. In
Arturo Toscanini" Paul Stefan re-
views the maestro's astonishing ca
reer, from his early days as an in
conspicuous cellist in a travelling
orchestra to his present-day tri-
umphS.

Brazil

By Stefan Z1Ueig. Translated
from the German By Andrea
st. James. The Viking Press,
NelU York.
Following the fashion, Mr.. zWeig
has done a book for us on Latin
America-or, anyway, on large
portion of it. 1t is pretty much the
routine thing.
It leads off with a short history
of Brazil, then surveys its economic
development and its culture and
carries on with chapters about
the beauties of Rio and Sac Paulo.
1t also tells us that Brazil produces
a lot of coffee.
Mr.. zWeig says that when he first
saw the country he was inspired.
That was in 1886 One cannot but
admire an inspiration so ardent that
it has remained alive seven years
But in 1886, of course, there was

time, he applied to Bernarr Mac

This paper eventually emerged as
the Graphic. It's first "truth-tell-

Hall-Mills murder case in the in

The Sun Shall Greet Them

J1,, Na.n

tuN o., NeU 7 OTh.
In the evacuation of the British
Army from Dunkirk last year Mr..
Rame served as captain of a small
motor launch. He has now made
novel around the experience. 1t is
frankly personal.
Its hero, like Mr.. Rame. is a writer,
and its action is limited to three
nights when the young man pilots
tiny boat to the French coast and
does his bit in getting the soldiers
of. So much of the work is excel
lent, deserving to be rated among
the lastingly fine sea and war stories.
What precedes this action-and it
is about third of the books, how
ever, too obviously built up, and a
love story which is more or less
forced into the real tale is totally
lifelesS. 1t is too bad that material
of such vitality should be so weak
ened and diluted.

Ladies' Day

By Chard PoUerS Smith.
Charles Scribner'S Sons, Neu
York.
This novel is set in the 1905.
when women were taking their first
questing look into a world ladies
never mentioned above a whisper
and deciding to do something about
II. Sally Lathrop. the heroine, is
shown leading a clustered life in
a small New York city. where her
father is the leading banker. and
the man she loves is the bad boy
turned empire builder.
Sally starts out with the idea of
saving the world by inspiring men
to great deeds through worship of
her beauty. She gets over that.
Then her straight-laced convictions
twist her love into a semblance of
hate and turn her into a grim cam
palgner against vice. She finally
winds up by realizing that the bad
boy wasn't so bad after all. though
1t is now too late to do ANYTHING
about it, and that her refusal to
make any sacrifices has messed up
her life rather completely. That. at
least, is how the book ends. Sally
is turning over another new leaf
but she has already gone through
so many phases that the reader
can't help assuming she will go
through many more.
Though the author Weaves his
story around Sally and other ex-
amples of expanding womanhood,
he is at his best when he gets away
from Sally's everlasting introspec-
ton and pictures the events of a
lusty time-labor revolt, political
unrest, the death struggle of indi-
vidual owners against the giant
trusts. Outside of his painful ex-
cursions into his heroine's heart and
mind Mr.. Smith has written with
gusto of an era made more colorful
by strong-minded women and ruth
less men.

By Ben An1eS W1LL1Gn1S. HOugh-
ton Mif1in Co., Cambridge,
Mass.
Mr.. Williams frankly admits that
he originally intended this book to
be an historical novel about Bangor,
Me. rather than a psychological
study of Jenny Hager. That portion
of the book which deals with the
growth of Bangor, its lumber and
ship building industries and its part
in the Civil War is a credit to both
the town and the author. But he
seems to have bent over backward
in an effort to create a strange
woman" and in doing so has made
one who is not only strange, but
downright incredible.
Jenny is a poorly drawn, COM
poSite figure. rather than an indi-
vldual character. She is a beautiful,
sadistic creature with the heart,
soul and body Of the wanton who
delights in the torture of others.
Many of her exploits border on the
fantastic. However, Mr.. Williams
is a good story-teller and the book
Is most readable and lively. with

clally the latter.
