A keen interest in the summer
theater movement is shown in ques-
tions asked at the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, 'and It's
branches. With the rationing Of
tires, gasoline and even actors,
many changes in the little theater
have taken place. The stages have
moved from the roadside barns into
the military training camps, along
with much of the talent and larger
audiences. Those theaters not Sit
uated on bus routes have found
it necessary to close their doors.
For devotees of the summer theater
living in Washington there are three
summer playhouses, all accessible
on regular bus lines: At Baileys
Cross Roads, Va; at Catholic Uni
versity and on the Willard Hotel
roof.
Those particularly interested in
the melodrama, so dear to the
hearts of summer audiences, will
find chapter in America Learns
to Play" by Foster Dulles. which
| treats OF the history OF this phase
of the theater In a graphic and en-
| joyable manner.
Profusely Illustrated.
General handbooks on the little
theater are numerous and will repay
the time required for their reading

Iyard Strauss. Is a profusely illus
trated guide to the art of theatrical

With the formation Of small

In a slightly different class are

The Seo-GuH Cry
BIZ Robert Nathan.

~ HOOeTL NdtnQn. fhnOpJ.J
Robert Nathan up to now has been
remarkable in his prose writing
chiefly because Of his superb skill in
avoiding certain pitfalls which have
seemed always to be gaping in his
path. He has delineated repeatedly
Q pathos which, by every rule Of
expectation, should have changed
its first letter and became bathos.
He has dealt in kind Of emotion
which gave promise at every turn
Of changing into sentimentality. But
such horrid transformations have
not taken place in his work, though
they were almost inescapably indi-
Gated. Haunted but not overtaken,
Mr.. Nathan has glided about among
these literary menaces, . sort of
auctorial Oliver Twist, keeping his
heart pure where one would have
said 1t was humanity impossible
Now, one weeps to report, he seems
to have lost his -footedness. In
his present story he has slipped, II
not into bathos, at least into nfeless
obviousness.
1t Is little tale about two young
Polish refugees, girl Of 10 and q
boy Of 7, who are living in cold and
hunger in beached scow on the
New England Coast and are found
by . vacati0ning Yankee professor
whose philosophy is to avoid mixing
in other peoples troubles. The pro-
fessor gives up this philosophy and
assumes responsibility for the pair.
He Is q bachelor and one under
stands that he Is going to marry the
girl. Considering that Mr.. Nathan
wrote it, 1t is pretty terrible. But II
would be passable stun If it had
been submitted by . bright junior

The World at Ny Fingertips
By Karstsn Ohnstad. (Bobbs-


This is the autobiography Of a
youth. who was blinded while In high
school, and who, through his own
courage and perseverance, managed
not only to finish his high school
education but to 60 through college
on an equal footing with his sighted
classmates. Even more difncult, he
finally managed, after graduation, to
attain his ambition and write . book.
This Is the book.
In it he tells Of his desperate
struggle to save his sight, his many
operations, his trials and tribula-
tons in school after he loses his
sight and bis struggle to get = job
in the world OF seeing men after
graduation. The book is. in part, a
plea for the blind plea to give
them work that they can do. He
states, and his life proves, that the
blind can do many more jobs than
they are generally permitted to do.
Moreover, some Of them they can
do better than can those with eyes.
A particularly interesting chapter
tells In detail Of the acquisition Of a
Seeing Eye dog, and describes how
both the man and the dog are
trained at Morristown, N. j. Life
1t the Seeing Eye Institute is made
much more real In this book than 1t
usually is In the literature distrib-
uted by the organization. An angle
hitherto unpresented Is brought up
In the final disposition OF Mr.. Ohm
stad's dog, which flrst simplified and
then complicated her masters life.
The book is well written, lit up by
humor, and Is q thoroughly worth
while human document.

Fiddle Longspoy
Bp Warren Bledsoe.


BroDn)
There may or may not be sucn
a spot In Maryland as st. Swltnms
valley. Readers Of Warren Bleo.
soe,s first novel, Fiddle Longspay,
will not be concerned greatly on this
point. however, because they Will
And that the characters who people
this little world have been drawn
with such fine realism that ina
mere matter of geographical au-
thenticity is of no moment.
st. Swithins Valley Is dominated
by the aristocratic and powerful
Longspay family. On land granted
them by Lord Baltimore, so, the
story relates, they built the great
ancestral home, Swithinsgift, an
architectural gem rising proudly
from colorful gardens, sweeping
lawns and tree-lined avenues oe-
signed by L'Enfant.
Here. on Swithinsgift's broad but
socially exclusive acres, the story OF
riddle Longspay is unfolded. Beau-
champs Longspay, nicknamed "F1d-
die" because he plays the instru-
ment by that name rather well, Is
the bad boy of the family. But his
shortcomings are not of serious I'M
portance, his all-time low in moral
turpitude being the day he was seen
by the guests at a fashionable
Swithinsgift garden party clad In
shorts and conversing surreptitiously
| in an adjacent woodland with Rector
Phyfe's sister Isabelle, with whom
it later developed, Fiddle was greatly
enamored.
Fiddles Aunt Adelaide, a Longspay
only by grace of having married
into the family, was profoundly
shocked at the incident, and a feud
sprang up. But Fiddle was too
clever, witty, stubborn and loveable
not to meet the situation. Aunt
Adelaide at last proved herself a
good sport by giving Fiddle and
Isabelle a gorgeous betrothal party
It is upon this slender thread that
the plot is developed. But Mr.. Bled-
soc tells fascinating story, never
theless, of the folk who move in and
out of the ancient portals OF Swith-
insight. There are so many OF them
that the reader becomes a bit con-
fused at times, regardless Of which
fact Fiddle Longspay" presents q
worthy picture OF charming, time
honored phase of life which slowly
but definitely is disappearing from
the American scene.
