WHEN BOYHOOD DREAMS

COME TRUE
By James T. Farrell. Van
guard; $2.75J
In this volume is collection of
James Farrell's short stories and a
three-act play written by Mr.. Far
rell IN collaboration with his wife.
The stories are all familiar routine
to Farrell readers; they deal with
muddy aspirations In muddy char
acters and they do 1t m the Gus
tomary Farrell technique, fatty,
without tenderness or irony. They
are technically Skillful but humanity
dead. MIR. Farrell is a good hand
with pile driver but he uses one
when he wants to put in pin. He
just can't forgive anybody for any
thing.
The play, which is intended as q
satire, also suffers from this aucto-
rial ruthleSSness. 1t gives us q
wealthy New York family In which
the mother, faddist, has taken up
communism. She fills her house
with dubious characters, drives her
family nearly crazy and finally coll
hdes with the FBI. The plot is good
but the treatment becomes almost
unbearably repetitious before the
second act Is over. The characters
are established-and then they 60
on establishing themselves while
you wait for something to happen.
Mr.. Farrell is good writer but
he is in bad rut. He Is plodding

the air and turn couple of hand
springs. 1t would do him no end Of
good.

point for his tale. Some of the
worldlings make love and some
would like to. That is about all
there is to it, except that 1t is written
in a prose that Is as fine as the
traditional silk.
We have a pure-hearted young
man of fine old family named,
rather too obviously, Johnathan
Ely. His world has been invaded
by refugees of the upper crust, titled
Europeans who have come to Ameri-
ca to languish until they can go
home again. He moves among these
people vaguely and inef1ectively.
He falls in love with ballet dancer
who is bad lot and also with his
cousins wife, who is a fairy prin-
cess Of unawakened innocence. But
the fairy princess is seduced by
Johnathan's friend, refugee French
artist, and, in despair. commits
suicide. Meanwhile the war has
ended and the titled Europeans are
going home.
1t is all pitched in an atmosphere
Of terrific doom. which Is Mr.. Pro-
kosch's particular literary cup Of
tea, but nothing happens in the
doom-stricken scene to justify the
setting.

In the vast literature on Spinoza,
probably, no other modern book will
appeal to the American general
reader as much as the portrait of
the unique spiritual hero which DIR.
Rudolf Kayser has just drawn for
the English speaking world.
Even the concise work which Sir
Frederick Pollock, the English jurist
and friend of Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. gave us just before his
death In 1885, does not reach the
fullness of warm-hearted and hu-
man understanding OF this great
abstract thinker which Kayser dis
closes. Practically all the other
leading biographies of Spinoza, such
as the four monumental volumes by
Stanislaus DUNN -Borkowski, are
written only for the use of the
scholar. Kayser's book, however,
does not presuppose any philosophi-
cal training.
Evening star., 1946-11-24

Contemporaries grown up and
living in such divergent traditions
of religious thought as Albert Elm
stein and the American Quaker
Prof. D. Elton Trueblood agree
that today there are many spiritual
ly sensitive men outside the church,
es and sects. Therefore, as Prof.
Einstein forcefully points out in
his preface to Kayser's book, to
the modern scientists alienated from
the beliefs of the churches, the ex-
ample of Spinoza's profound secular
religion, his "Weltreligion," and his
sanity life in a world of radical
rational enlightenment, offers an
urgently needed intellectual and
emotional solution of their difdcul-
ties.
DR.. Kayser's book, with skillful
charm. indicates the way in which
this momentous aim may be at
Itained.

time the moves carefully thought out They just
weren't the kind Henry would make

Three weeks ago. He fell downstairs. My men
talked to the grandson from Michigan who's there
closing up the house"
"Grandson!" Simon exclaimed Hes the sole heir.
Better investigate
mo Everything is on the up-and-up. The grandson
called the coroner in three weeks ago when it hap
pened The death was accidental. The old man fell,
and his head hit the bottom step of the stairs"
I'm not sure, Simon said. Il think it's possible
he was murdered The man who's been sending me the
postcards is quite capable of murder
What kind of postcards"
Simon explained And after Henry's death, this
grandson evidently sat in the game in his place. And
l can tell you from here that he's man who's bril-
liantly. vciousy daring, who doesn't consider the
consequences You'd better look into it."
A WEEK later Simon received another call from
Police Chief Rafferty, reporting the results of the
investigation. The body was exhumed - and it
murder The coroner had found traces of poison. The
grandson was in jail and had confessed He'd poisoned
the old man, and then pushed the body down the
stairs
He had to stick around to collect the insurance
and settle the estate. Rafferty, explained. And he
didn't want any friends poking their noses in That's
why he continued the chessgame with you in the old
mans place. Besides he considers himself a chess
master - couldn't resist the game
Later, looking out over the wash-flled backyards,
Simon thought: WE'LL couldn't prevent your death,
Henry but at least didn't let the murderer get away
He heard Mrs. Gessling inquire about the state of
his health, and noticed now that Nora's answer was
