UNTIDY MURDER
BY Frances and Richard Lock-
ridge. ". B. Lippincott Co.;
$780,
Two paid hoodlums find them
selves in the uneasy role of having
kidnapped the beloved wife of the
head of the homicide squad. If they
let Dorian 60, she will lead the police
to them. If they kill her, they will
certainly be hunted down. Thus be-
gins for Dorian a wild adventure,
covering a goodly segment of New
York and New Jersey and including
mad ride in the trunk of kidnap
car, a fearful night in cottage at
tic, an explosion and weary trek
through a forest with a half-dead
killer. All this is subsidiary to the
main theme. Was the art editor
pushed or did he fall from his sky
scraper apartment? And what was
Dorian supposed to have seen that
made her the prey of kidnapers?
Mr.. and Mrs. North are in again
with the answers but Dorian takes
most of the punishment.

the kinds of portraits people like to

He was born in Wojnilow, Poland;
studied at the Academy OF Fine Arts

of prizes. Still in his 20s and an

Although this novel deals with the
past, the warmth and naturalness
of its style has brought it remark
ably up to date.
Grandma Truttle, vivacious,
strong -willed and dauntless old lady
is the heroine and meets valorously
problems which would defeat many
stout-hearted men. Thirza, her
granddaughter, is her youthful pro-

The characters are presented with

CONFESSIONS OF AN
UNCOMMON ATTORNEY

UNCOMMON ATTORNEY
BY Reginald L. Hine. fMac-
milan; 81
If your taste runs to off -the-path
items, you will almost certainly want
to investigate these memoirs of an
English country attorney and anti
quarian, who exemplifies perfectly
his compatriots' genius for conquer
ing an unpleasant situation by ignor-
ing it. Bombs were bursting over Eng
land while Reginald Hine was in
scribing his "reminiscences of eccen-
trio clients and rare books, but not
hint of violence disturbs his pages.
Mr. Hine is attached to a law
office founded in 1891, where, he
notes approvingly, it is possible to
smell your way back to Elizabethan
times" He has heard and recorded
all the jibes directed at that ass,
the law" and has ministered to
people in all kinds of human dis
tress. His real pleasure, however,
has come from pottering among the
dusty old parish records which have
provided him with the stuff of sew
eral frequently mentioned books Of
local Hertfordshire) history.
He Burned Well.
1t is interesting to note that while
he is in general elaborately ret
icent about himself, Mr.. Hine is
quite voluble on the subject of his
neurasthenia, which leads him into
interesting musings on doctors, and
an apoplectic denunciation of Freud
whose dicta on dreams so enraged
a confirmed traditionalist that he
flung the book into the fire, thereby
discovering the best thing" about
the psychiatrist-that "he burned
we'll" He is most grudging with
details about his personal life. The
curious reader, following his lively
sketches of such literary figures of
the early Goth century as Alice Mey-
nell and G. K. Chesterton, and OF
persons and schoolmaSters, must be
content with the merest mention OF
the authors family, which seems to
consist of a wife and daughter.
Mr.. Hines reverence for the estab-
lished things sounds a reassuring
note in the present chaos. 1t has
influenced his style overwhelmingly,
not always to the good. He is so
out Of love with the sound of his
own voice that he has stuffed his
prose with classical illusions, one
merging into the other. Rather
than ever speak for himself, he has
even resorted to clinches now and
again. Still as a record of the in
tellectual pleasures of cultivated
and resolutely serene mind, Con-
fessions of an Uncommon Attorney"
has a nice antique flavor and pro-
vides much enjoyment and a well
come change of pace. M. MEG.

Tracing the Comics
From HooIigon

THE COMICS

THE COMICS
Ugh. macmillan;
Reviewed by
PHILIP H. LOVE,
Feature Editor of The Star.

Are you follower of Little
Orphan Annie? Do you keep up
with the adventures OF "Buz Sawyer"
or Kerry Drake? Do you laugh at
"Oaky Doaks," Moon Mullins, u
THE Sad Sack" or Mutt and jeff?
Well, whatever your favorite comic,
you are likely to come across some
interesting information about it in
this copiously illustrated book.
Mr.. Waugh, himself reformed car
toonist Che used to draw "Dickie
Dare" for the Associated Press
has dug up a great deal of data on
comic art that isn't to be found in
any other single volume. No matter
how long or how closely you have
followed the comics, no matter how
much you may think you know about
them, the chances are that you will
learn considerable from his book.
History Of Comic Art.
The author traces the history of
comic art from the time it branched
off from pure cartooning to the
present. He tells how Richard Out
cault, with his yellow Kid; Ru-
dolph Dirks, with THE Captain and
the Kids" and James Swinnerton,
with Little Jimmy" started the
trend which merged into the comics
as we know them today. Incidental
ly, Bud Fishers Mutt and JEFF,
which is still going strong In The
Star and many other newspapers,
is one of the real old-timers.
Readers with long memories will
derive some pleasure, as did,
from being reintroduced to Buster
Brown" Happy Hooligan," Maud
and other oldtime favorites. Others
will be interested in the chapters
devoted to comics of more recent
vintage.
If Mr.. Waugh's book has a flaw
it results from the fact that he has
not been content to tell the story of
the comics and the cartoonists and
writer's who created them, but has
attempted to assume the additional
role Of critic. And one cannot be
critical about such things as comics
without stirring up a fuss.
Mr.. Waugh indicates, for instance,
that he considers the late George
Herriman's "Krazy Kat" the great
est of all comics, and he rates Harry
Hirshfield's "Abie the Agent" as "one
of the best-loved comic characters
of our time" He classifles "The Sad
Sack" as extraordinary realism
and dismisses "Buz Sawyer" with
the statement that 'the strip re-
mains to be developed by time"
Well, I for one was allergic to the
kat" and thought "Abie" just plain
dumb. The most realistic thing
about the Sack" is the laughs he
creates, and Sawyer" judging by
comments from Star readers, ranks
with the top adventure strips.
But those statements, too, are
likely to create a rumpus, so maybe
I'd better say that 1.-THE Comics" is
an interesting and informative book
