ST. MARY TILT
7-6, FRIDAY
Gives Marysville Lead
In Tri-County League;
Game Is Real Thriller

MarySVille high school took a
firm grip on first place in
the Mid-State league and became
number one favorite to repeat for
the football championship by de-
feating Marion st. Mary, Z to 6,
in a real thriller on the Marion
Harding high field, Friday even
ing.
Several hundred MarySville fans
braved the rainy weather to see
the MonarchS take one of their
most thrilling victories in years.
They were well-rewarded for their
trip, too, as one of the most excit-
ing games of the season was play
ed.
AS the score would indicate, the
two teams were evenly matched,
with Marysville having a slight
edge on offensive play The Mon
archs outgained st. Mary on the
ground by fair margin, but when
it came to other phases of the
game, the two teams were pretty
much equal.
Coach Likes Performance
st. Mary lived up to its past
performances as fast, hard
charging team but the MarySville
line met the Irish forwards, charge
for charge, and battled them to
a Stand-still. When it came to
blocking, the MonarchS were just
as sharp as st. Mary if not a bit
the better, and MarySville boys
tackled just as hard and sure as
any one on the Marion team.
Commenting on the game Satur-
Iday, Coach Wenzel declared:
/ Those boys all played nice
fgame. I couldn't Single out any OF
them for commendation, because
one boy was just as good as anoth-
er. But l was well pleased with
the way the ones who had prev
ious injuries stayed in ther e
throughout, taking the best ST.
Mary had to offer"
Coach Wenzel used only four
substitutes from start to finish
Dick Graves for Earl Thomas at
guard, Jerry Kingsmore for Day
ton at end, Harold Goedeking for
Douglas BeaSecker at tackle, and
Claud Sharf for Everett Alexander
at fullback.
MOnarchs Score First
Marysville scored first, about
halfway through the second quar-
ter on pass play With the Mon
archS in possession of the ball on
their own 31-yard line, Nanny
Rogers passed to right end Mickey
Mcguire, who Scampered so yards
for the score. Mcclure managed
to get behind the entire st. Mary
team including their safety man,
plucked the oval from mid-air on
the so and ran the distance with
out anyone touching him. Bells
place kick was square between
the uprightS.
st. Mary's tally came in the
closing minutes of the game, and
was aided and abetted by three
penalties totaling As yards, called
against the anxious Mon
archS.

Road From OIivet
By Edward F. Murphy. bruce,


~ N~eoStf W . AVA W P'bS' ~ NSSt
$780,
With this novel, Edward F. Muir
ply carries on the story of the life
of Mary Magdalene, which he began
in THE Scarlet Lily" of some sea-
sons back. AS he says himself, his
account is imaginary; it rests on his
personal invention and not on his
torical authorities. But it is work
into which there has evidently gone
passionate religious emotion and
the enormous public which Gus
tomarily reads fiction founded on
the figures OF Christianity's begin
nings will certainly respond to it.
The novel begins with the death
of Our Lord. Mary, meditating the
commandment to spread the gospel
through all the world, thinks of
Rome. She is then exiled by PLATE,
together with a former lover, Tullus,
who has become a Christian. The
two set out for the imperial city
and the novel is concerned with the
adventures which there befell them
up to the beginning of the great
persecution under Nero.
The author commands a style of
great intensity if not consistent
polish. Whether he writes of the
beauty of Christianity or of the
cruelty and corruption of pagan
Rome. he draws on such details as
will appeal to large public In all
probability his book will repeat the
huge success of its predecessor.

KoteO'Brien' Novel
Is an Exploration
OF Male Vanity
FOR ONE SWEET GRAPE


By Kate O'Brien. doubleday;
S2.75.J
A novel of exceptional talent, this
book takes for its field an explora-
ton OF the infinitely complicated
labyrinth of male vanity. Osten-
sibly 1t is a historical Story-the
authors personal Interpretation of
the persecution of Ana de Mendoza
by Philip II of Spain. Actually it
is a psychological study of certain
typical emotional reactions in which
Ana and Philip play only the typi-
cal parts. Such has been Kate
O'Brien's artistry. however, that the
typicalness of the situations and
characters never intrudes upon the
readers interest.
Ana de Mendoza was one of the
very great ladies of Spain. She was
married at the age of IA to
Ruy Gomez, who became Philips
Minister of State. In the early
days of her marriage, gossip at
tributed to her the position of royal
mistress. Some years after her hus-
bands death, when she was in her
late 30s, Philip caused her to
be imprisoned and she remained in
confinement until her death. Miss
O'Brien undertakes to invent an ex-
PLANTATION of the events which, as
she admits, historians have"not yet
reduced to factuality.
Her Interpretation of the tragedy
is that Philip was in love with the
idea that he had once been in love
with Ana. His association with her

William Soroyon
Pens a Story on
War Experience
THE ADVENTURES OF
WESLEY JACKSON

By William Saroyan. fHar-
court, Brace s2.75.)
I was still a child when Polly
anna" burst on the American pub
lie. Even so, I rejected the Porter
masterpiece with instant decision.
1t was Immediately apparent to me
that the heroine was so completely
unreal that no one could possibly be
taken in by her. Imagine my young
surprise, therefore, when I saw my
elders-or at least my female elders
-enraptured by the infant who so
vigorously played the glad game. "
The American weakness for BEAM
ing purity swept over their ordinarily
workable minds in a Porter induced
wake and they succumbed. This
happened, I should say, not only in
my little city, but all over the
United States. "Pollyanna" was one
Of Americas very best sellers.
I will not pretend to know
whether 1t has been an astute study
Of those old sales statistics which
has turned the one-time promising
William Saroyan into his recent
course in novel-writing, but in his
last two books-"The Human Com
edy" and this present novel
Pollyanna has lifted her beaming
countenance to the exclusion of
any more tolerable ingredients.
"The Adventures Of Wesley Jack
son" is Mr.. Saroyan's novel on war
experience. His Wesley is a pure
boy Of 10 who gets drafted and sets
a little ray of sunshine going in the
military darkness by his simple vir-
tues. He soon perceives the horrid
of military life, where
officers lord it over privates, and he
sheds tears that such things should
be.
1t turns out. however, that Wes-
ley is a writer-not just a writer,
but a great writer. Then he gets a
desk job and sees military life from
the planning side He grieves some
more. He confides in the reader
that his great fear is that he will be
killed before he has found his girl.
The reader is not surprised that
when he does find the appointed
one she is a street walker and that,
moreover, Wesley loves her like
little child" Great writer or not, one
feels somehow that Wesley is like
that.
Well, Wesley makes his way into
France and is captured by the Ger
mans, who turn out to be nice fell
lows. Then he is freed and the war
is over. William Saroyan still is
making lots of money, but this is
not good writing.

uation in the novel lies in the cir
cumstance that Ana and her lover
are ostensibly punished for COM
plicity in murder-and that the
murder Is one which Philip. relying
on his divine right. has for state
reasons ordered.
Looking dispassionately at the
wonderful ramifications of male
self justification, Miss O'Brien thus
probes not only into the darkness
of sex vanity but also into the
typical mentality of the tyrant. And,
since Philip was tyrant of pecu-
liarly intense religiosity, into the
tortuous twistings of conscience
which was curiously divided between
public and private ideas OF right
and wrong.
1t is a very fine study and it is
a true novel too. It's sheer story
interest is unfiagging. And above
and beyond that, it has in it about
as much as any reader will have
capacity to absorb.

The Reasonable
Shores

6y U. IS. SLeTH. fM1cn1lLLGn,
s3J
G. B. Stern for two volumes past
has been indulging in stylistic vir-
tuosity very much as her talented
whimsy led her. She has been tell
ing her life story and no one would
question the right of a veteran nov
elist who has launched on that al
ways perilous undertaking to proceed
as she sees fit. Miss Stern saw fit to
proceed in the manner of a per-
petual motion bounce. Each men,
ory tossed her into another with no
perceptible reason or connection. It
must have been a delightful change
for one who had for so long imposed
the discipline of the conventional
novel on her soul. but. alas, now
that she has returned to the novel
the effect of the ad libitum method
seems to have carried over. The
Reasonable Shores" displays more
exuberance than form.
1t is the story of adolescence with,
for its particular problem, young
daughter of an English family whose
mother has run away with an artist.
The elopement affects all the chill
dren, but chiefly it affects Jessamy.
And Jessamy's troubles are aggra-
waited by the would-be consultations
of an elderly uncle, who seizes the
occasion to come and settle himself
on his nieces and nephews. He fills
the void left by the mother with a
somewhat sinister attachment. The
manner in which the various chill
dren free themselves is the plot of
Miss Stern's book. I cannot say that
it is brought off very satisfactorily
One never cares, somehow, what
any of the characters will do. And
one is exasperated at times almost
too much bv Miss Stern's stylistic
cavortings. I suppose that two vol
umes of autobiography require two
novels as an antidote Readers, re-
membering her long record Of solid
achievement, will just have to bear
with her until she gets back to her
fictienal earth. t-,5 $50

hart; $780,
To write satirical novels about the
entertainment world has been for
some time an American fashion. No
one, moreover, has ever seriously
doubted that such Satires have been
we'll taken. There is, however,
more than the customary mockery
in this novel about the world of
radio advertising The book has a
real bite and a convincing quality OF
truth about it. No reader will doubt
that the author means exactly what
he has the hero say when another
character suggests that the hero
write a caricature on the radio
world: There's no need to carica-
ture radio. All you have to do is
listen to it."
1t is the story of some complicated
cut throating among advertising
agencies and their clients for pos
session of certain radio stars and
programs. Scenes in the air-con-
ditioned, antique-furnished offices Of
Radio City and Wall Street alternate
with lunatic parties in Hollywood
as Vic Norman, the demon agency
executive, shuttles across the con-
tinent bent on pleasing his plush
lest customer, the Beautee Soap
Co.'S Old Man. Writers, actors,
singers, band leaders, talent scouts,
theatrical agents and business
men are all shown as stand
ardless, slavish money-worshipers
who, nontheless, have no idea why
they worship money or what they
want to do with it beyond march in
the procession. 1t is not a poverty
Of ideals which the book depicts, but
a famine of ideas, an utter absence
of brains. And all this on the level
of a business where S25,000 year
Is mere apprentice money.
Frederic Wakeman has been an
nd and radio script writer. No one
can question that he knows the
world which he presents in so de-
testable a light. But his realistic
presentation of radios normal
tastelessness does not compensate
for serious flaws in other aspects Of
his novel. Radio is the novels backA
ground and it is splendidly anat-
omized But the main character
who moves against that background
is put through some very unrealistic
antics. Apparently Mr.. Wakeman.
turning to the novel field, has not
thrown off his old script writer's
dictum that there must always be a
triumph of the good over the bad.
So he fits out his cynical hero, Vic.
with a better nature which finds its
long-sought outlet through pure love
of a good woman. When that be-
gins to happen in the plot the there
tofore fawless story takes on the
taste Of soap opera Of purest ray Sc
rene. Right where Vic meets his
beautiful Kay on the Super Chief
bound for Hollywood, the sensitive
reader will begin to detect the creep
ing onslaught Of ham. And thence
forth, to the climax where Vic for
his souls sake, rejects partnership
in the firm, the story reads increas-
inely as if it were written for radio
audience.
It is too bad that a piece of bril-
liant realism should be so marred,
hut that is the fact. Habit appar-
entity has been too strong for Mr.
Wakeman. He has had to let virtue
win. even though art lost. His novel
splits up patheticallyon the obvious
commission.
