Reoding and Writing
Why All the Shouting About the '2Os,
Wonders Floyd Dell, Noted Survivor
By Mary McGrory

The '20s. which incurred a
good deal of disapproval while
they We're going on. have re-
Gently been ushered back on
stage to a good deal of applause,
not to say respectful admiration.
1t all began with a rediscovery
of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his
works. 'The Letters of Edna
st. Vincent Millay," John
Hutchens' anthology. 1.-THE
American Twenties," and Ed
mund Wilson's literary and per-
sonal "reminiscences, "The
Shores of Light" have intensi-
fed current curiosity about the
decade when love and verse
were free.
All in all it seemed a good
time to pay a call on WASH
1ngton'S most distinguished sur
vivor of the '20s, Floyd Dell. In
his day Mr.. Dell lived in Green
wich Village, mixed with it's
brightest lights. wrote plays and
poetry and a novel that was
banned in Boston. Now IS years
old and retired from Govern
ment service, which began with
the WPA writer's project in
1885, he lives in a row house
on Ingleside terrace. He is still
slender, his thinning hair is still
dark and he has courteous.
rather nervous manner.
About the '20s he is a dis
senter. He doesn't know what
all the shouting's about. He
thinks they did not fulfill the
promises made by the teens of
the century. when Shaw, Gals
worthy and Wells were writing
in England and Theodore
Dresser and Mr.. Dooley were
breaking new ground in Amer
lea.
Reoctionory Memories
A radical in his youth, he
found the political climate ex-
tremely reactionary, symbolized
by the Scopes and Saco-Van-
zetti trials. He remembers,
having moved to upstate New
York in the '20s. the Ku Klux
Klan cross-burnings in the
neighborhood.
The much-touted revolt of
the '20s was only in two direc-
tlons. he says. looking back.
They rebelled against prohibi,
ton, which he calls "a polite,
easy. respectable form of
demonstrating your freedom"
They also, says the author of
Love in Greenwich Village"
and Intellectual Vagabondage,"
were liberated in their attitude
toward sex. an attitude with
which he was generally in sym
pathy. although he had himself
settled down to quiet domesticity
by the time the '20s began.
But they did not exploit in
fiction the liberalism which
Dresser made possible by break
ing down the Victorian taboos
against mentioning sexual be-
havior or economic conditions.
What should have happened
was that the '20s produce
writer with Dreiser's sympathy

and candor, but without his
lumpishness, who could write q
shapely novel," he says.
Of Edna St. Vincent MiIIoy
Eugene O'Neill imperfectly
understood the Freudian ideas,
which he translated into his
"melodramatic" plays. And the
sentimental adulation which is
heaped on such writer's as
Hemingway leave Mr.. Dell quite
cold.
But to this disillusionment
he makes one exception. He
regards the poetry Of Edna st.
Vincent Millay, whom he first
met when she came to the VIII
lage from Vassar. as the great
triumph of the era, it's most
durable accomplishment. Her
poetry is affirmative and alive,
in contrast to the "sanctimoni-
Gus. pious renunciatory. poetry
Of T. S. Eliot and his followers.
Mr.. Dell is himself not writ
ing a great deal these days. He
finds the art of fiction. which
was difficult to learn in the first
place, equally difficult to re-
learn after his long Government
service. Besides, he finds him
self out of touch with the cur
rent modes. The frankness Of
the '20S has dwindled to the
clinical in current fiction.
Banned in Boston
II am, after all, a reprehensi-
BILE person." he says mildly. II
was banned in Boston. But I
am shocked and bored by the
obvious and pointless unpleas-
antness Of these novels. A
painter is supposed to learn the
structure of bones and muscles,
but he doesn't paint them. To-
day novelists simply spread
their Freudian findings out on
the page. I just can't read
them"
AS for writing about the '20s,
he explains that he already did
SO in an autobiographical novel
called Moon Calf" and also in
his memoirs, Homecoming"

Both books are concerned, in
different ways, with the sweep
ing changes our country has
experienced during the first half
Of this century.
Mr.. Allen is editor of Harper's
Magazine and author of the
popular .'Only Yesterday" the
story Of. the 1920s. and other
books. He writes in journalistic
vein, avoiding the more occult
cliches Of government and eco
nomics. He describes not only
the reforms which became laws.
but changes, in ways Of living
between 1900 and today.
Mr.. Goldman, a native Of
Washington, now associate pro-
fesSor of history at Princeton,
is on the scholarly side. He is
more interested in the changing
political. industrial and social
ideas than in such external
trappings as clothes. menus and
travel habits, which enchant
Mr.. Allen. But don't get the
idea that Prof. Goldman's book
is forbidding. He has. in fact,
pungent. lively style. which can
be as colloquial as necessary,
and his sketches of the per-
sonalities involved in the great
reform movements are colorful
and exact.
Ardent Liberals
Both authors can be account
ed ardent liberals, though
neither is oblivious to the diff
ficulties which liberalism faces
or to the ambiguity which sur
rounds even the term.
Mr.. Goldman points to what
he regards as the solid help
which reforms starting hesi-
tantly far back in the post
Civil War period and culminat-
ing in the New Deal gave the
average citizen. These included
protection against the exceSSes
of big business, regulation Of
utilities. cushions against unem-
ployment, illness and old age
and the power to fight for a
decent wage. The author adds
some of the difficulties which
the new laws and regulations
have touched off. MinoritieS
who had received benefits be-
came pressure groups. He ex-
plains:
"All the old difficulties ground
ahead. The liberals the
people, the mel and women who
were to leap to take advantage
of a more democratized govern
ment and would use it to ad-
vance the general interest, went
right on refusing to act their
allotted role" For instance,

Abraham Lincoln
BY Benjamin p. Thomas.
(Knopt;; $5.75.)

Reviewed by Froneis P. Douglas
Here is an excellent one
volume biography of Lincoln.
1t fills a need which has been
apparent for some years. The
last f1rst-rate work on Lincoln
in a single volume was Lord
Charnwood's, published in 1917.
Since then additional material
has come to light.
DR.. Thomas tells the Lincoln

is surprising and which is based
