ACTRESS, by J. X.
Perkins. 279 pages. Bobbs- Mer-
rill Company, In lianapOlis, S2.15

Consuming and passionate hatred
of Christians prompted Cynthia Ma
muta to return to Antioch, spons-
ored by the Caesar, in the leading
role of a play ridiculing the Christ
lans. The actress, Cynthia. had
Christian parents and after their
death was raised by Bishop Ignati-
us. Her ardent love of the theatcr
could not be reconciled with Christ
ian beliefs so the natural denounce-
ment resulted in the journey to
Rome and stardom III the pantO-
NINE and mine.
Through Cynthia, TraJan Caesar
expected to place in obscurity the
mounting throng of Christians and
to prejudice public opinion. Marcus
Macer, talented author, was
snatChcd from the exile line ana
sent to Antioch to write the play for
Cynthia and her director, RosCius
Gallus. Marcus had pcnncd articles
which Caesar deemed Objectionable
but he was given a rCprleve TO per-
form this mission.
Marcus, kept IN prison by Cor
nellus, became acquainted with Bis
-
Christians and Roscius cften =
eompanied Marcus to the Bishops 5
home. These visits resulted in their
pronounced sympathy for and und-
erstandlng OF the Christians and
their beliefs. Herein lies the conflict
of this stirring dramatic religious
noVel-Cynthias distorted hatred
and rovengeful desires as in con
trast to Marcus knowledge of the

Against a Biblical background,
ANTIOCH ACTRESS is another su-
perior novel by J. R. Perkins, who
also wrote THE EMPEROR S PLY
SICIAN. Appealing, stimulating and
memorable, ANTIOCH ACTRESS is
an old theme presented in new
manner which will be cherished by
all readers.-Juanita Stainback.

WASTELAND, by 10 Sinclair. 321
pages Ha"pcr and Brothers, New
York $3.50.

John Brown, alias Jake Braun
oWitz, was so burdcucd by his Jew
Ish nationality that he considered
his lite Wasteful and unnecessary.
Through Debby. his sister, he sought
help from a psychiatrist and re-
Vealed his confusion, doubt and
feeling of WOrthICSsneSs.
The Scder, Jewish Passover nit
ual Commemorating the flight of
Gods chosen people from Egypt,
had been treasured by Jake until
he began believing it was a mean
inglesS ceremony performed through
habit and memory. Even the Ha2-
Gadah reading lost significance
when viewed through his cynical
eyes after his 18th year.
To Jake there was no purpose IN
living and believing that his young
nepheWs, Bernie and Allen, were
travelling the same road, he enlist
ed the doctors aid in finding de-
tour for them. The pSyChlatrlst
helped Jake find himself and rein
state his beliefs in his nationality
and in living. Through these inter
views 10 Sinclair presents Jake S
bitter story.
WASTELAND is another evidence
of confusion and doubt IN the minds
of many people today. 1t expresses
the nnermoSt thoughts Of a Scnsl-
tive Jew and offers inspiration and
hope to those feeling oppressed and
thwarted Undcniably it has out
standing merit, as II is the l2th

American Legion activities

Regular meeting of American
Legion Post No. "a was held Fri
day evening The subject of a
memorial was taken up, and after
lengthy discussion new stone mem
orial was decided upon. The stimu-
latlng force was the desire express
sed by parents and near relatives
of young men who gave their All
in the recent world war The com
mittee reported that it was prac-
tlcally a UNANIMOUS desire of these
relatives that their departed hero's
name be inscribed upon a stone
memorial. This opinion seemed to
be in accord with the fact that this
war was waged for the purpose of
securing lasting peace. Emblematic
.of this idea, names inscribed in a
stone memorial would likewise be
lasting tribute. The present stone
memorial has been checked bv a 4
stone expert and he claims it is not
true granite and has not the endur-
ance to withstand the weather: m
fact he pointed out where the pre-
sent stone is showing signs of de-
terloratlon. The new stone of a.
bout the same size as the old one
and of genuine granite, would have
inscribed upon its face the names
OF the five fatalities of World War
and the fifteen known fatalities of
World War H. This stone would
replace the old stone and would
cost between $500 and $500 bv hav-
ing it placed on the old base of the
present stone. The committee was
