spent properly. and even partici-
pated in the selection of the in

a close watch on the behavior
of the women who were ad-

all in detail. He was fascinated
by the characters of the women

as their adaptabilities.
The letters are written in
Dickens best style, simple and
straight forward, understanding

will be surprising to Dickens

Reading his life story in a
campaign year is to realize that
the recent political hostilities
were as a strawberry festival
compared to the vigorous ex-
changes Of IngerSoll's day. For
one thing the free press was
really untrammeled. A Repub-

craft called him once "a poor,
miserable. whisky-soaked, to-
bacco-bedaubed. illiterate, vul-

quarter. he gave none. The au-
thor is rather grudging with
passages which show the full

gives enough to show that

some people called him, never

Adlai Stevenson. grandfather
of the Democratic presidential
nominee, early foresaw that the
young Illinois spellbinder could
never win elective Office. Inger-

were deeply beholden to him.
His agnosticism never seriously
prejudiced juries against him,

Novel Describes Development

This novel, written around
the birth and early growth Of

despite certain faults.
How the industry grew out Of
hand-turned devices in penny
arcades into flicker shows in
nickleodeons and finally into a
