Phyllis Bentley
Writes the Saga

LIFE STORY

MARGARET BLAIR SHUMAKER
Phyllis Bentley planned her latest
novel in a good tradition, but some
where between the plan and its final
embodiment something went very
wrong.
Life Story" is the saga Of fam
lily from grandmother to grandson
In such a family history there are
deep and satisfying wells from which
to draw-of all types Of novel this
best allows for exploration Of the
most significant human relation
ships. The Forsythe Saga and
Kirstin Lavransdatter are outstand-
ing examples of the richness to be
cleaned from such a plot. Life

standing only for its failure to ac-
tualize any of the fine potential
offered by this type of novel.

trian and the characters are dull.
With these initial handicaps there is
not much hope for the plot itself.
The focus of the story Is on the re-
volt in successive generations of the
child against the parent. This re-
volt is, Of course, an old story, but
that does not preclude its use here;
the way in which Miss Bentley deals
with it, however, Is not only stale
but amateurish. One would think
that Miss Bentley went to work with
a pocketbook edition of Freud in one
hand and her pen in the other, the
right hand knowing only vaguely
what the left hand was doing.
There is some interest to be found
in the authenticity Of the Yorkshire
background and Miss Bentley's
knowledge of cloth manufacturing,
but this is not enough to sustain
you through the whole tedious book.

The best thing about this novel
is its authentic quality. In char
acter and atmosphere, in its descrip-
tive detail it carries versimilitude
Furthermore, 1t is crisply and in
terestingly written.
1.-The Island" tells how the war
came to Seattle and its impact on
a number of persons. But the
chief characters are traced far back
of the war to explain what they
do or fail to do. Attention is TO-
cused on those men on the edge OF
middle age who were considered
qualified for commissions, but not
young enough for combat, and thus
were shunted to public relations or
intelligence or some statistical
branch. Their dubious satisfaction
at being in uniform and their ulti-
mate feeling Of Illustration are fully
developed.
Lou Benedict, who tells the story

He fought out the war in Seattle,
except for an interlude in Alaska,
where he went expecting action
that he never found. His back
ground, his romances, his friends
and a couple Of thinly disguised
enemies make up the narrative.
1t may sound like q paradox, but
the details that make up the story
are better than the whole. Mr..
Jones gives an excellent impression
of Seattle in wartime. His people
seem real, but the situations they
get themselves into are not always
plausible. The melodramatic end
ing could have happened, surely,
but its immediate ca0se appears to
be a coincidence very old in drama
and the denouement removes a
dilemma in a way authors have
always found convenient. The book
could have been shortened to ad-
vantage. &C. B. j.

Chess.

Open house at the Washington
Chess Divan on November "a

sections of rapid transit play were
contested. The Glass B tourney
was won by Col. E. w. Sturde-
want with 9h-1h points, while
Charles Graichen and E. Scott Dill
lon shared the remaining prizes at
8-3 each. Complete results of the
Glass A event follow:

On November u an impromptu
double-round 5-minute game tour
ney was won by Jan Galvins with
9-1, nosing out N. Robins, who had
8h-1h. Third at a considerable
remove was Simon Naidel with SIS.
The Divan Championship took a
sensational turn when Comdr
Charles D. Mott, finally returning
from the naval maneuvers in the
Arctic to complete his postponed
schedule, defeated the leader, Oscar
Shapiro. Comdr. Mott held on to
the pawn which Shapiro as black
sacrificed in a two knights defense,
and ultimately lured his opponent
into a subtle trap in the ending.
Henri p. Reyss improved his chances
by outplaying George S. Thomas in
a QP game. Thomas resigned when
he found that white had not only
won a piece but kept the initiative
as well. John r. Rice played very
strongly against D. H. Mugridge's
Chigorin Defense to the queens
gambit, and came into the ending
a pawn ahead, only to permit black
to break through on the queens side
with a pawn that could not be stop
ped from queening. Mott has drop
ped one point, Shapiro 1l2, Reyss 2
and Mugridge 21a. Mott and Reyss
and Shapiro and Mugridge have yet
to meet.
