SCHNOZZOLA
The Story of Jimmy Durante.
BY Gene Fowler. 1.-THE Viking
Press, $5.)
For some people, TVS funniest
moment came when Jimmy Du-
rante, spotting Helen Traubel
in Wagnerian armor, barked,
Holy smokes, she's been
drafted" After Al years in show
business, the raucous voice, the
OUTSIDE nose are still killing the
customers. It is Gene Fowler's
contention that it couldn't hap
pen to nicer guy.
From the first, the Brooklyn
BARRIERS son went over. He
started out playing piano" in
a Coney Island boardwalk joint
called Diamond Tony'S. From
there he went to speakeasy, SO
tough that "if you took off your
hat you was a sissy" With the
advent of prohibition, the "Cy-
rano of the cellars" moved up
stairs to his own night club and,
flanked by his partners. Clayton
and Jackson, became a star of
"the avenue"-as Broadway was
known among those in the know.
"SchnozZola" is told rather
disjointedly, spangled with Dur
ante's losing tits with the
English language. Fowler admits
Durante's comedy does not
sound so good on paper. Yet
coming from "a personality as
warm and as broad as the
Gulf Stream" it has found an
ever-loving audience. The cha
otto simplicity of his perform
ances is matched in his life,
making him half hooligan, half
saint" Not up to such a por-
trait as Good Night, Sweet
Prince" Mr.. Fowler's present
effort is a sentimental and hu-
morous picture of a man and
his times, both very colorful.

The Conference on Rural
Reading met last week amid
much soul-searching and not
a little breast-beating among
the 100 librarians, publishers.
educators and agricultural ex-
perts who foregathered at the
Government Auditorium.
The decline of culture in the
corn has become an increasing
concern to the Extension Serv-
ice of the Department of Agri-
culture, which sponsored the
discussion. They admit that
the reading around the farm
fireside that used to be the
diversion of the snoWbound
family is a thing. of the past.
The problem was attacked
from two angles: First. how to
make books available to rural
readers, and second. how to
make them attractive to rural
readers.
DR.. Carl woodward, president
of the University of Rhode Is
land, sounded the keynote at
the opening session. He recalled
that as a youth on his New
England farm he used to pore
over Dickens and Thackeray.
His nephew, who now farms the
same land, packs the family into
the car and drives off to the
nearest movie.
No Moaning in the Ashes.
The conferees, to their credit,
did not sit in the ashes and
moan about television. Lester
Asheim of the University of
Chicago Library School faced
the issue squarely by saying
that the people who watch TV
are the same people who read
books, thus effectively disposing
of Milton Berle as the sole viii
lain of the piece. 1t was also
brought out that the people who
patronize public libraries are
the same people who buy books.
It was a premise of the con-
ference that "a shocking pro-
portion of rural residents do not
have access to any public liz
brary service. OF those who do,
it was said, "few indeed have
access to a good library service
that can really meet their
needs"
All were agreed that an en-
lightened citizenry, capable of
opposing subtly subversive ideas,
must be book-fed, and that the
public library was the most OBJ
vious source of such enlighten-
ment. This led to some harsh
things being said about Ii
brarians.

way, is one of Mr.. Marquand'S

Much Delicious Humor.
Technically, as a piece of lit
erary art, the book is far too
long. But most interested read
ers do not object to a leiSurely
narrative. And it cannot be
said that this one ever is dull.
Even the sloweSt-moving por-
tons have an amusing quality,
and there is much delicious hui
NOR. The f1ashbacks of Good
wins life are managed adroitly,
with his direct story and Sid
ney's summary of it mingled
skillfully. The generals love
for troops in the field, his hat
red of all desk jobs. even his
nostalgia glance at combat are
plausible. After all, a profess
sional soldier is trained to fight.
Can he be blamed If he loves to
fight? Army officers may say
they hate war most because they
know it best. Theoretically
they do, but a good fireman
with never a fire to fight and a
crack policeman with no GRIM
inals to hunt would be naturally
bored and lost. Mr.. Marquand
has absorbed a vast amount Of
Army life, even though some
Army people may say his picture
is one-sided.
Gen. Goodwin must be placed
beside the best in the MarQuand
gallery, along with several ira
dition-ridden New Englanders.
FORTY POUNDS OF GOLD
BY Phil Stong. Doubleday;
$780,
This commercially brief his
torical novel is different from
most of the species. It is highly
humorous. The author of
State Fair" and other pop
ular novels has squeezed a lot
of laughs out of the expedition
two husky young men, pals
from adjoining farms in Iowa
territory. to the California gold
fields in 1850. On their way
through the andit-infested,
insect-plagued jungles of Pan
anna they take on a third COM
panion. a Kentuckian. The
three know what they want,
just a reasonable amount of
gold, so they can buy farms and
settle down to raise their fam
lilies, and they go through fan
tastic adventures to gain their
goal. A good percentage of the
odd characters they meet are
intent on robbery and mayhem,
but, after a few demonstra-
lions of their Workmanship and
their skill with fists and at
rough and tumble, the word
goes around that it would be
better to pick on some other
greenhornS. The drawings by
Arthur Shilstone add to the
pleasure of reading the story.

Does Volume II
OF His PAGEANT

THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY
BY Thomas B. Costain. (Dou-
bleday G. Co.; $4.50.)
Reviewed by Margaret S. Dickey
This is the second volume of
1.-THE Pageant of England"
series, succeeding THE Con-
querors. Like its predecessor it
is history told in fluent nara
tive form and the fascinating
events of the period lose nothing
IN the telling.
1t is the chronicle of 18th
century Norman England, of
the kings and barons and their
women who nodded history. The
story opens with the abortive
invasion of England by Prince
Louis Of France after the death
OF King John. covers the reign
of Henry III and ends with
his death. Some attention is
paid to the mores of the period,
and to its scholars and artists,
but these are subordinate to the
battles and political plots and
counterplots that characterized
the age.
Costain has combined rever-
ence for facts and awareness of
their inherent drama with the
dizziness of a skilled novelist to
rescue history from its exile in
the dry pages of textbooks.
Mrs. John Erskine Seeks Books
For Memorial Librory
In town this week was Mrs.
John Erskine, widow of the au-
thor, lecturer and educator, who
died last June. AS a memorial
to her late husband, Mrs. Err
skine-here to do research for
magazine article-has estab-
llShed a library OF English books
for the University of Dion,
which conferred on him an hon.
.orary degree during his last ILL
ness. Upon his death she
decided that such library
would best commemorate both
his love of books and his atfec-
ton for France, where he
founded the American Expedi-
tionary University during World
War I.
Already, Mrs. Erskine has
written to authors who were his
contemporaries, friends or stu
cents for presentation copies of
their work. The response has
been excellent, she reports, and
she thinks her goal of 10000
volumes will soon be realized.
She hopes to go to France for
the dedication of the library.
In the meantime, she would ap-
preciate contributions of books.
They should be sent to Rene
de Messieres, French Cultural
