Centuries ago when the

The Face of Time

On the strength Of his
vivid, objective, often sordid
stories of Chicago's south side,
Mr.. Farrell is renowned as one
of our leading contemporary
exponents of naturalism.
Naturalism is a term used
glibly by critics, though it has
never been defined too clearly
It is applied without discrim-
ination to an array of novel
lists differing widely in meth
cd. Apparently it was first
used in describing a group Of
10Th century novelistS, includ-
ing Zola, Flaubert and Maui
passant. NaturaliSm was sup
posed to be a form of realism
in which the writer described
his characters without passing
judgment on them and with
out shirking the unpleasant.
even the revolving. In more
recent years naturaliSm has
come to mean more the delin-
cation of persons who are held
in the grip of circumstances
and are unable to control their
fate.
Poor Irish FomiIies
Mr.. Farrell made his repu-
tation on novels about poor
Irish families-three concern
ing boy named Studs Loni-
gan and four about Danny
O'Neill. In the years since
these books were published the
author has written a trilogy
on the struggles of another
Chicago boy who went to New
York and became successful
writer. There have been other
novels and volumes of short
stories related casually to the
early novels.
In "The Face of Time" Mr..
Farrell has gone back to
Danny .O'Neill and members
Of his family. The new novel
Is not a sequel to the tetralo-
ogy. It's events take place be-
fore the first of the ONeill
books. though 1t Is an inde-
pendent story which will be
quite clear to you whether or
not you have read any of the
others.
Characters Are ReoI
Danny is only S when "The
Face of Time" opens and 6
when it closes. It is during the
Taft administration. This is
really not Danny's story at all,
though episodes often are seen
through his eyes. 1t is the
story of his grandfather, old
Tom O'Flaherty, who is dead
before the Danny O'Neill tet-
ralogy begins. Danny has gone
to live with his grandparents
because his father and mother,
with two other children, are
hard pressed. Tom, past 10,
has retired from his dray busi-
ness. But he and Mary live
comfortably, in an apartment
with steam heat, thanks to
their son Al, q successful
salesman.

over from Ireland in their

Director Louis B. Wright, al

ages for their wisdom, points

loot was a prize of casks Of

"All of this" he goes on
dryly, "leads us to wonder a
little about the harsh obfusca-
tions, rasping like a rusty
hinge and passing for poetry
in these our times. Perhaps
more sweet sherry would bring
back a touch Of Elizabethan

Joy lacking in the spawned
measures Of this age Of dry
