The Sound of an American
BIZ DuUid Ornnsbee (Dutton

By DaDid Ormsbee. (Dutt0n.)
Although the author of this novel,
as if to show that it is irreproach-
ably modern, makes a number of
disrespectful references to one time
modern gods-remarking, for ex-
ample, that Freud went out with
Clara Bow" and that somebody else
had written novel back in the days
when Ben Hecht was good writer
lit is nonetheless plain that THE
Sound of an American" is a catch
all for most of the best-selling
fiction devices which have been de-
veloped and exploited in the past Is
years. The trade marks of Heming-
way, Steinbeck, Dos Passos and
Celine are ponderously printed on it,
with abundant evidences of other
borrowings going back as far as D.
H. Lawrence, or even Anatole
France. And when that is said,
about everything is said. The book
has no validity of it's own. 1t is a
syntheSis of mannerisms, no more
1t lacks both story and characters;
it lacks, fundamentally, an idea. It's
| borrowings are, as said, those which
have contributed to making their
originators agreeable to the general
| taste-that is, they are those which
shock middle class conventions. II
Mr.. Ormsbee has shown any method
| of choice beyond this. it is to limit
himself to mannerisms, the shocking
| power of which is particularly
violent.
Such as it is, the story deals with
the present war. A vague young
man named Abner Coe, who has
been music critic for a Paris news
paper, is drafted into the French
Army and sees the debacle of 1910
After that, he escapes to London
where he is supported by an affec.
tionate woman journalist, then re-
turns to France to rescue former
sweetheart, and, failing that. comes
back to America. There is nothing

They seem to have been thought uE

three marriages. as well as the
social history OF the past 40 years
and its impact on his friends as
we'll as on himself.
In Paul Engle's West Of Mid
night" the author goes back to his
early affirmations which in his
American Song" showed such fine
promise. He has now arrived at full
maturity. Langston Hughes, one of
the foremost American Negro poets,
contributes Shakespeare in Har-
lem," volume of lyrics in the
rich colloquial idiom and rhythm
Of his race. "Tumultous Shore" by
Arthur Davidson Ficke, consists of
a collection of lyrics of high quality
and a long sonnet sequence with a
dual theme expressed in mans world
of good and evil in his own, not
natures the beauty and solace of
nature set against mans hatred, his
cold, deliberate wars, his solitude.

by Robinson Jeffers. This latest
volume of Jeffers contains a nara
tive poem, dramatic dialogue and
shorter. poems on current themes
in which the author reiterates his
gloomy view of mans fate. His
violence seems less shocking now
than formerly, probably because the
turmoil and brutality of the world
is greater than ever before and the
reader is Injured to violence.

Quicksilver

By Fitsroy Dauis. (Harcourt,
Brace.)
Here, in a first novel about the
theater, the author has given us
what practically amounts to hand
book of that perilous profession
acting. Above all, he makes us
understand what an actor thinks,
feels, fears and hopes; what it takes
to make a great actor. This he
terms "Quicksilver," the thing that
runs up and down and flashes in
the eyes of an audience" But before
he has finished, we have begun to
suspect that this is just the basic
metal of the glamour, that there is
far more to being sincere crafts
man in the theater.
1t is long book-too long by far.
But the author has attempted to
bring into play every facet of the
entertainment world, and in this he
is notably successful. First, it is
the story of fabulous tour of "the
road" of Romeo and Juliet" star
ring the first lady of the stage"
Evelyn Navarro. But, in the larger
sense, it is the story from first re-
hearsal to tragic last night of the
actors in her company. Through %
States and 40 cities, we grow to
know them
1t is quickly evident that Fitzroy
Davis knows his subject and further
knows how to present it. His keen
sense Of characterization will give
the theatrically initiated much ma
licious pride in their ability to rec
ognize the living prototypes.
Mr.. Davis is an actor and director
having worked with many notables
of the stage and radio, including
Orson Welles and the Lunts.

Contemporary Poetry
By Alefhea T. AIdevson,
Chief. Fiction Division, Public Library.

In attempting to evaluate and
describe some of the work of con-
temporary poets one must of neces-
sity consider the emotions aroused
by the horrors of a world at war
There has been some discussion as
to whether any poetry worthy of
the struggle has as yet come out
Of this conflict. AS much as any
other form of literature, poetry in
terprets its own age In its highest
expression it has the timelessness
of great art, but its forms and
modes are built by its own period
The universal need for poetry is
as immense as it has ever been.
Each generation answers that need
according to its own experience and
in terms of its own emotion. Since
great poetry is always the voice OF
powerful conviction and an un-
wavering faith, in cynical and dis
illusioned age the poet cannot
avoid being affected by the world s
unrest, and his tones become dis
cordant and bitter, his songs be-
comes weakened and uninspired.
A few of our contemporaries have
voiced in sincerity and in truth
the faith that is in them during
this time of fire and slaughter"
The most widely known poem. THE
White Cliffs" by Alice Duer Miller,
was tribute to Britain in her
darkest hour and "The Jervis Bay
Goes Down." by Gene Fowler, is
ballad of Capt. Fogarty and his
gallant craft. These two poems
reached an audience of millions
through the radio, the first being
read by Lynn Fontanne and the
second by Ronald Colman. Cecil
Roberts has published "A Man
Arose" tribute to Winston Church.
i'll; and there are two recent books
by Alfred Moves, IF Judgment
Comes" an indictment of Hitler, and
Shadows on the Downs" which in
cludes few poems for and about
children with poems Of the war.
Pulitzer Award Pleased.
Not all the winners of the annual
Pulitzer prize for poetry have been
men and women of genius. How
ever, this year poets everywhere
were delighted when this recog-
milton was bestowed upon William
Rose Benet for his volume, "The
Dust Which Is God" an autobi-
ographical novel in verse in which
the author describes his early i'm
pressions, his years at Yale, his
