THE FIRST KIND WORD
Poet: "How much Will it take to
send this manuscript"
Postmaster Lincoln: "Three cents.
It's firSt-cla matter"
Poet: ooh, thank you, sir. Thank
you very much.
The young author sent the man
uscript of a book he had written
to the literary editor asking him
for his opinion of it, and mentioned
that he had several other irons in
the fire. 'fPut this with the other
irons," came back the brief reply.

The Passionate Witch

Bg Thorne Smith. Completed
bu EdUin MatSon. Doubleday,
DOran & Co., Inc, Ne1o York.
The late Thorne Smith, creator
of the immortal Topper, apparently
left an unfinished manuscript be-
hind when he departed this life Tor
whatever fantastic heaven his fan
tastic genius earned for him may
it be a good one). The script is
here offered in finished form by Mr..
Matson. 1t is just moderately good
Smith. The hand of the master IS
visible in the concept, and the exc
cution is creditable effort.
Mr.. Smiths last plot, then, was
built around the problem of what
would happen if badly inhibited
middle-aged millionaire should hap
pen to marry practitioner OF the
black art-a witch. So much actual
" happens. The witch is a lush
little number who looks equally well
in mink or in flmy negligees, but
a witch just the same. She rides a
pale goat under the moon and en-
cages in other goings-on of tradi-
tional and sinister nature. The mil
hanaire is considerably disturbed
when he finds out the awful truth
about her.
What happens is that, in getting
rid of her, he also manages. though
painfully, to lose his inhibitionS. 1t
is a little sermon against puritan
ism which would seem to argue that
the best protection against the black
art is to avoid the puritanical in
thought, word and deed, and inoc-
culate oneself against the devil, as
it were, by committing a few mild
sins of ones own.
AS said, it is just mild Smith.
There is some lovely drunken dia-
logue in it, though. a series Of non
sequiturs which makes a veritable
masterpiece. NC. r.

Slightly Perfect
Bu George Malcolm Smith

BY GeOTge NutCOlW OWltH.
Random House, Ne1U York.
The theme of this novel is the
oldest and best known to the fiction
writing trade. That is to say. it is
the theme of escape from reality,
of leaving the accustomed world
and taking the road into the un-
familiar fol the pure sake of ad-
venture. Homer. Dante. Cervantes-
the list of Mr.. Malcolm Smiths
predecessors is fairly distinguished
one.
His own adaptation of the motif
is a strictly modern one. We have
for hero one Milton Northey
Haskins, who is a phenomenally
bright actuary for Hartford in
surance company. Mr.. Haskins, at
the age of 20, has figured out every
possible eventuality before him. and
has covered himself for whatever
may occur. He expects to be vice
president by the time he is As. But
the imp enters into his actuarial
paradise, and he finds that the one
thing for which he has not pre-
pared has occurred-he has made a
mistake. He has put decimal point
in the wrong place In despair, he
wanders from his Office and joins up
with travelling carnival.
That is really all there Is to the
book. NC. r.

Musical Box

By Sidney Harrison. The
Macmillan Co., NelU York.
This author, TO be remembered for
his engaging. informative Music
for the Multitude is wont to ad-
dress his words on music to those
lovers of the art who can't tell an
arpeggio from acornS. He prefers to
chat about the subject with an in
formality frightened by quiet sort
of humor. And while, in the for
mer work, his scope was all-inclu-
sive and closely integrated, in "Mu-
sical Box" he allows his fancy free
play.
He may. for example, discourse on
the traditions of folk song and then
in the next breath relate the plots
of a few popular operas. Follow
ing up his views on music as pro-
fession and as an industry, he tells
about the seven great musical cities
of the world. He lists classic poems
having direct reference to music,
as well as those poems which inspire
the composer to compose. He men
tions some of the essentials OF ar
ranging music. including simplif1ed
musical scores. In short, 1t Is
full-bloWn hodge-podge which Mr..
Harrison offers. But it's factual
from beginning to end-and thof-
oughly interesting. j. w. SIEPP.
