Thornton Oakley, the well-knoWn il
illustrator, water colorist and mural
painter, her friend for many years,
has written q memoir of her, which,
privately printed. has just come
from the press. This is essentially
as one artist to another. Mr.. Oakley
does not list Miss BeauX'S achieve
ments. He draws her portrait-with
words-and sets her before us as he
found her in adeship and subtle
understanding. To do this he has
stressed her surroundings, especially
at East Gloucester. where she had
her summer home. Green Alley,
and to which. through the years
came those who were sympathetic
musicians, writer's, artists in all
fields-distinguished leaders. ESpe-
cially noteworthy are expressions
concerning her own work, her per-
sistent effort toward perfection in
expression and tireless labor to this
end. The memoir was written for
her friends and therefore intimate
in character, but it presents very
true picture of one who attained
the highest distinction yet remained
unassuming to the end-richly en-
doWed. highly creative.

of the Western Hemisphere in 1899
by the French government and now
Gallery of Art.
The camera has caught groups of
visitors in the galleries, the most ar
resting capture being close-u of
two WAVES looking earnestly at
Delacroixs Greece Expiring ON the
Ruins of Missolonghi.' One of the
girls has tears in her eyes. giving
evidence of the appeal of painting to
the emotions.
The film then conducts the audi
lnce into the garden courts in the
wings, with their colonnades, foun-
tains and luxuriant planting. A de-
scent is made to the lowest part of
the building, where is seen the vast
mechanical equipment which sup
plies heat, regulates temperatures
and accomplishes other necessary
services, of which the public is sell
dom conscious while enjoying the
end result of all this planning.
MASTERPIECE in CIose-nbs
Discussion of even temperature
for the works Of art takes the audi
ence back to the painting galleries,
where closeup views are shown of
masterpieces depicting the life of
Christ. Other outstanding works are
shown, to give an idea of the wealth
of the collections in various schools,
among them Rembrandts s self-por-
trait, Rubens' portrait of his first
wife, Vermeers Woman Weighing
Gold" Van Dyck's "Marchesa Elena
Grimaldi," and Goya's pair of por-
traits of the Suredas. Donatello's
marble statue, the David of the
Casa Martelli' is compared with
the youthful David on the painted
parade shield by Andrea del Cas-
tagno.
The film has only one lack that
should be remedied: a few exposures
OF the rooms devoted to the decora-
tive arts from the Widener collec-
ton. In other respects, it is a good
introduction to the national gallery
as an institution devoted to the serv-
ice of the public.

Freedom of religion is one of the

By Carleton Beals. (Houghton
MifimJ
Under the important name of
Carleton Beals We have here one
more handbook to America South,
an economic and chronological sur
vey made to the end that postwar
planning may take intelligent di-
rection. Mr.. Beals' great point is
that the United States, through
lend-lease activities, is usurping the
authoritarian position heretofore
held by feudal land owners in many
Latin American countries, and will
consequently be in a position to
dictate economic policies in those
lands after the war. If we are
guided by our own interests only
we can spread ruin, says Mr.. Beals.
If we undertake an enlightened
regime, with care for the welfare
of the native populations. We can
correct many abuses and further
prosperity for millions. 1t is up
to us-and, as usual, we are ex-
pected to make secrifices."

None but the Lonely Heart
By Richard LleWellyn. (Mac-
milldn.)

6y h1CHGTG Lte1CeltyH. I'M &C
milldn.J
This exceptionally good novel is
study of modern adolescence and a
portrayal of London's slums. Against
richly particularized background of
cockney society," we have the figure
OF young man who might be found
anywhere, typical adolescent of
certain kind, the kind which has
been shaped almost altogether by
the vulgarities of the movies and the
cheap fiction magazines. Though
Richard LleWellyn fits him convinc-
ingly into his London background,
one recognizes him as type. James
Farrell, for example, writing of pros
porous middle class Chicago youths
in his recent ELLEN Rogers" gives
us Identical figures. Those who
sentimentalize over youth" with
capital letter today could do worse
than mediate little on the terrible
pictures included in two works drawn
from such different environments.
Mr.. Llewellyn's story is melodra-
matte in its trappings. but realistic
in it's essence. 1t tells simply how
its young hero came to his sudden
ruin. It's time span is only a week,
but in that week is acted out the
logical ending of the young mans
lifetime of standardized, standard
less miseducation. He loses his job
because of incompetence and in
dolence His mother, a successful
shopkeeper, offers to take him into
her business. and other wise and
benevolent people extend help to
him. But when gang leader who
spots the lad as likely criminal
material makes his overtures, the
boy experiences a real response. He
joins the gang, takes part in rob-
berry, knows a brief period of eXalta-
ton and then is captured by the
police. One does not know, when
the book ends, what his fate will be,
but Mr.. Llewllyn makes it clear that
that does not matter Whatever
happens, the boy is lost soul
The London background is of
Hogarthian lushness, and for dealing
in quaint characters Mr.. LleWellyn
has boldly cut into the heretofore
Dickens monopoly. The language of
the novel, moreover, is entirely in
the cockney idiom. It may be that
Mr.. LleWellyn is perfectly accurate
in all these matters; the reviewer
is in no position to say that he is
not. There is. however, perceptible
literary quality about the treatment
which suggests that reference has
been made to the masters as we'll as
to the fact. Even so, None but the
Lonely Heart is a good piece OF
work
