Good Advice

II is advisable 10 empty the

10 AVOID accumulations of dirt

carefully into a large paper bag,
or TO conserve bags. use a sheet
Of newspaper, moiStencd, 20 pre-

peramental body servants of their
artistic interiors produced more
commotion than literature during
the year, as usual.
1t did, however, see the publica-
tion of the second volume of
highly significant collection of
screen drama, The 10 Best Screen
plays" by John Gassner and Dud-
ley Nichols. The anthology which
started three years ago as brave,
almost defiant gesture achieved
surprisingly popular reception.
Among not merely professional re-
viewers but an encouraging, II
minute, proportion of the general
public, the book found a healthy
reaction. In the only fashion pos
sible, it demonstrated that there is
a considerable readiness on the part
Of many people to be shown that
screen literature is real literature
as some of it indubitably is.
Ballet Gems
Among the books which have
crossed the drama desk during the
year are three volumes on the bal
let, which should find a welcome
audience in the growing army Of the
Nations dance enthusiasts. OF
these, Kay Ambl ose's slim little
Ballet Lovers Pocket-Book turns
out to be something that probably
will be snatched up with enthusiasm
by those who have recently discov-
cred the ballet and want to know
more about it. A sketchbook and
primer, Miss Ambrose's brief work
should provide almost any one with
an elementary education in the
steps and positions on which the
classic ballet is based.
Theatrical Dancing in America"

indicates, a more extensive work,
being a more or less definitive his
tory of-the development of dancing

entertainment community, ever en-
joyed the spectacular stature of
Miss Lawrence. Her international
aura and her natural glitter gave
her book a quality that placed
1t in special category, but the
others more than betrayed their
cost of duplication.
Both Mr.. Stone and Miss Tucker
have had careers covering large
areas of American theatrical his
tory, and In their different ways,
had things to say of that history
which possessed nostalgia and sem
timental appeal.
Books of Record
1t probably provides a sound re-
buttal to Ahe charge of light
mindedness against the theater pub
lie, however, that the most popular
volumes dealing with the subject
were not the winey essence of per-
sonal experience recalled by the
stars. On the contrary, the books
of record, those designed for nobler
purposes than the mere amusement
of the amusement lovers were the
ones which attracted the most
attention.
Two of these, the outstanding VOL
umes, are ANIMALS: perennial an

circumstance that Mr.. Nathan is
normally as wrathful in mood as
Mr.. Mantle is gentle and under

not alter the truth that the two
usually reach the same conclusion.
Mr.. Nathan's approach to the
theater in his annual volumes is
perfectly calculated to make his
books interesting even when the
material with which he is dealing
is dull. AS the diary of an in
dignant man, his yearbook is un-
failingly worth reading and the past

~LEARLY one of the trends In
the literature OF the theater
~ this year definite enough to
merit comment was that toward
the autobiography. Self-engross-
ment is one of the enduring, if
not endearing, gifts OF SO many OF
those identified with the theater,
that, through the centuries, certain
churls have even spread the gossip
that every actors exclusive topic
OF conversation Is himself. Its
truth or untruth Is irrelevant here.
1t Is mentioned merely as a thought
that crosses the mind of man
taking inventory of theater books of
the year.
Best seller among these was Ger
trude Lawrence's autobiography,
published under the title, "A Star
Danced" lissome and vivacious
self profile not unlike Cinderella's
own story If Miss Lawrence had de-
cided to tell 1t in the first person.

fundamental occupation Is review
ing the theater. That was the story
Of the criticisms which the volume
received from those normally con-
cerned with her life and works In
the theater.
Good Publicity
A rather commonly invoked canon
of Journalism inspired a number Of
editors to turn over "A Star
Danced" to their drama critics for
review. They gave 1t some Of its
most free-swinging reviews, which
also turned out to be some of its
best publicity. With Miss Law
rence's vast fan following whose
loyalty remained answering, the
publicity helped to put "A Star
Danced" in the best-seller category
That is not, of course. rare thing.

Official Military History

In the realm of official military
history, the War Department is to
be congratulated on having given
the American people, even at this
early stage, several remarkably COM
plete and-above all-understand-
ably written accounts of the late
conflict. 1t was fully a decade after
the World War, as I recall, before
Gen. Pershing's memoirs offered the
public a comprehensive story OF
Americas part in that struggle.
The biennial report Of Gen.
Marshall, the Chief of Staff, made
available to the public in an at
tractive bound volume copiously IL
lustrated with maps, is as compre-
hensive and lucid an account OF our
part in the war both in Europe and
the Pacific as any one could wish.
1t Is remarkably free of the mumbo-
jumbo Of military terminology
which usually beclouds most reports
Of this type.
In THE Mightiest Army" Col.
Carl Detzer has written a clear and
complete account of the creation OF
our wartime Army and Its exploits
through the defeat of Germany and
up to the capture of Okinawa in the
Pacific. THE Selected Speeches and
Statements Of Gen. George c.
Marshall" presents the Chief Of
Stairs clear-cut evolution of mill
