Certain Vignettes

MEMOIRS OF HECATE

By Edmund Wilson. Double

-Four OF the six stories In this
volume are devoted to the PROPOSE
ton that American civilization in
the late jazz ana early depression
periods was something on the lack
ing side as far as spiritual satisfac-
tions 80. They bring the proof
OF convincingly enough. No reader
will doubt either the reality Of the
material or the authors interpreta-
ton. The only criticism I would
have to make Of the four is that
they seem to be put together out
of actual memories rather than
shaped as stories. The episodes are
pretty much what any Of us who
lived through the period have in
our minds and, although they run
to substantial length, they seem
to be presented as vignettes rather
thsp developed as fiction.
This is certainly true Of three Of
the four, at any rate. One charts the
descent OF an occupationleSs young
millinoaire from vitriolic conser-
vatism by way Of parlor magic to
communism. Another deals with
the sordid commercialism which, un-
der the guise Of devotion to litera-
ture, controls American publishers.
A third merely recourrts tasteless

talk is Of radicalism, religion and

Laurence Olivier's brilliant pro
duction is not the final answer.
Few will wish to question
the magnificience of the
achievement for, in Henry the

been added, both to Shake

Whether the something new"
contributes to the greater glory
of Shakespeare is debatable.
That it DOES bring a new
quality and maturity to the
screen seems to me to be in
disputable.
The genius of Shakespeare lies
In the power and the beauty of
the spoken word. The depth of
his perception, the profundity of
his understanding of the human
spirit gave to his plays drama

Both well-known by motorists and

he arrived at the station as the

tool at the fleeing gunman but
missed. Mr.. Cline died without be-
ing able to tell a clear story of
what happened. No arrest had been
made Friday morning.
An attendant in the station
across the street, who heard the
shots, called police. He said there
was about five shots in all. A pre-

that Mr.. Cline was shot once, thru

On the 18th of August golfers
from the Central States; Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and
Nebraska, will gather in Minnea-
polls. The greater part of them
will be seeking the Central States
Golf Championship.
Many of the old gang, who year
ly participated in the Central
States Golf Tournament, have
moved and will not be with us this
year. But there are those who have
replaced them, and with a decent
break, might bring the title back
to Nebraska.
I have played on golf courses
in st. Paul and Minneapolis. and
you will find they are superior to
the ones that we play on around
here. Plenty of hazards: deep
ruffs and plenty of water. Greens
and fairways in excellent condi-
ton.
We expect the fellows to bring
back the bacon. Although many of
us cannot be there with you in
person, it is our wish that all of
you perform, finding the course
to your liking, to the very best of
your ability.
