The Enigma of Admiral
DorIon
By Alec de Montmorency. {.

By Alec de Montmorency. (E.
P. Dutton.)
The author, said by his publishers
to have met Admiral Darlan when
he went to college with the admirals
son, no doubt had access to- a great
deal of information which has never
been made public. However, there
are so many guesses and assumptions
in this justification of Darlan that
it is difficult to sort facts from
theories.
Also operating against the authors
case is his obvious emotion about
his subject. Every slap at Darlan
he appears to take as a personal
affront, exhibiting, in the process
a sympathy for the Vichy bosses
and a strong prejudice against the
British.
His underlying defense of Darlan
is the fiat and repeated reminder
that the admiral did not turn over
the French fleet to the Nazis. Darlan
he contends, collaborated with Ber-
lin to effect the release of French
war prisoners. He was a patriot
says the author, playing politics for
France.
The refusal of Darlan to turn
over the feet to Britain when France
was about to capitulate is explained
by the author in this way: Darlan
had sat in on the conferences before
the German invasion of Norway. He
had urged his own government and
the British to allow him to move
his fleet into the Skagerrak, there
to cut off the Nazi invasion fleet
The French and British were of the
opinion that Norway didn't matter
All they wanted was the vast Nor
Weglan merchant fleet. AS the author
pictured it, the French and British
sold out the Norwegians when they
might have saved them. Darlan
pictured the same thing happening
to France. He refused to give the
British the fleet, or even to allow
1t to seek harbor in American waters
The fleet, to Darlan, was his greatest
ace in the hole in bargaining with
the Nazis.
The author does not completely
explain why Petain gave Darlan
carte blanche in North Africa when
the Americans invaded and then
countermanded Darlan's orders to
the fleet at Toulon to sail to North
Africa.
The deals and intrigue of the early
Gays OF the war and the story of
the man who loved his fleet above
all else make interesting reading
The authors accuracy is another
matter-one that cannot be Judged
until after the war, with its in
evltable flood of white papers"

David
By Duff Cooper. (HarperJ

by OuU cooper. fHdrperJ
Duff Cooper, British statesman
who has served as First Lord of the
Admiralty and Minister of Infor-
nation, has written in moving prose
creative life story of one of the
outstanding Biblical characters -
the King who was soldier, states
man, poet and great lover.
In reconstructing the life of David
the shepherd whose slingshot
slew the mighty Goliath - Mr..
Cooper asserts: "In no case have
1 written anything that is in con-
tradiction to the Scriptures, and in
no case have I put spoken words
into the mouth of any of the char
acterS that are not accurate quota
tionS from the Bible" The bibliog-
raphy reveals that the author
sought original sources, and con-
structed his narrative in the light
OF the customs and conditions pre-
Valllng when David sought to unite
and pacify the tribes of Israel.
What strikes a reviewer imme-
dlately is Mr.. Cooper's objectivity.
He neither paints David as man
without sin, nor presents him as a
hypocrite and brigand. He accepts
him for what he Was-a great figure
in history, man whose mortal
weaknesses did not blot out the
lyrical beauty of the Psalms, a king
who rallied his people, man of
strong loves and hates, bold lead
er who left his impress on the foot
prints of time.
The simplicity of the authors
style gives the book beauty and
measured cadence. He has pioneered
in a field where legend often has
run contrary to the teachings of
human experience. He has clothed
David with a warmth and appeal
that lend appreciation anew to a
compelling figure striding magnifi-
Gently down the corridor of time.

Mark Twain
By Delaney Ferguson
/Pn11o DTorr51T

(BObbS- -MerrtU.J
There is one reason why any book
about Mark Twain is bound to be
readable. That is that no one can
go on about Mark to book length
without quoting And nobody can
quote Mark and still be dull. Or
two times two are four, if you prefer
to put it that way
This is not by way Of saying that
the present book is, in the main, a
dull one. 1t IS not dull. 1t is a good
biography. But, though its author
takes issue with other biographers
on 9 number Of minor points, it
seems to the reviewer to add very
little to the already recorded inter-
pretations. 1t simply tells Mark S
story once again, tells it Interestingly
and capably, but essentially re-
peatS it.
The authors chief preoccupation
has been what he calls the con-
tinuity of imagery in Mark work
He has undertaken to connect
Marks development as writer with
specific events in his life, to trace,
that Is. the origin of characters,
stories and even phrases to their
factual derivations. But this search
for continuity is not itself con-
tinuous. There are many chapters
which are plain, straight biography
Mr.. Ferguson also makes evident
some annoyance with writer's who,
in the past, have engaged in specu-
! lation about points which cannot be
! proved by any record. This un-
substantiated kind Of writing has
given rise to Mark Twain legend,
he says, of which he will have no
part He undertakes to stick strictly
with the facts as they have been
| discovered. His book is, as said, an
entirely presentable biography The
quotes are fairly frequent, too
that, to the reviewers mind, is the
great argument in favor of anything
written about Mark Twain.

There are three embroidered pic
lures in the show, which are good
examples of folk art. The best is a
18th century tapestry picture done
in satin stitch, showing the mar
rage of Charles II 1t is in the
tradition of stump work, only one
other example has been recorded in
America, so far as the museum can
ascertain.
The second picture, done in 1906
depicts a lady bountiful in the en-
pire style, bestowing food upon a
ragged child; it has a brick house
and church, and chenille trees. all
embroidered within a sequin- edged
oval
The OAR Museums most recent
acquisition in this category is a
mourning scene for some one who
died in 1890. The family weeps be-

soul says, Blessed are the dead

Brushwork Is Assured

DruSnWOrk Is ASSuI GU
One would surmise this from the
painting by which he is now rep
resented in the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art. for throughout the canvas there
Is evidence of delight on the part OF
the artist in both the scene rendered
and in the rendering. The subject is
well chosen, the brushwork broad
and assured, the handling light and
skillful A bit of the Maine coast
Is pictured on clear, sparkling sum-
mer day. To the right, the waves
break on large fiat rock and throw
their spray high in air. A flock OF
sea gulls is seen on the rock and cir
cling above it in characteristic fash
ion-all is well-but not static. The
impression is of the moment but re-
corded for all time-with truth and
at the same time, enthusiasm. 1t is
an engaging work and fully repre-
sentative
The painting by Waugh, generously
lent by his great admirers, Mr.. and
Mrs Quantrell, is, as its title-"Wild
Weather''-implies completely diff
ferent in suggestion and treatment.
1t is undated but in all probability a
fairly early work as in manner it
resembles canvases in the Evans
National Collection of Fine Arts, now
in the National Museum. 1t is a
stern and powerful work, represent
ing the elementS-Sea and Sky-ln
their most threatening aspect. The
clouds, of murky gray, hang heavy
on the horizon. the sea is whipped
into foam. by the wind: the surf
dashes high but menacingly on the
nearby rocks; there is a feeling OF
danger and approaching evil in the
air-the storm will soon break. But
with all this effect of drama there
is less sense of motion than Waugh,
in his later works, so brilliantly
evidenced. The waves. even while
tossing their foam in the air are as
If frozen-the impression of the mo-
ment is registered for all time but
not as in passing. Yet so strong Is
this impression that once seen this
canvas will always be remembered.
Accomplishment in Marines
Frederick J. Waugh (born in
Bordentown. N. J., in 1861, died in
Provincetown, Mass, in 1940) was
one of our most accomplished
marine painters-a favo~ite both
with his professional confrereS and
also with the public. For five sue
cessiye years he received by vote
of lay visitors, the Popular Prize
for PAINTINGS of the sea shown in
the Carnegie International EXhibi-
tions. His works are included in
the permanent collections of our
leading art museums and he held
membership in the foremost art
associations. He was rapid painter
producing sometimes a canvas in
a single day, as many as 80 a month,
but he was never careless nor willing
to send out from his studio any
thing that he, himself, considered
less good than his best. His prices
81, were moderate: he was generous in
giving; never commercial; but so well
were his works liked and so eagerly
sought, that he is said to have made
more than a handsome living
through their sale.

According to Aneta, 2G persons had
