ton as the moment for mur-
der. The victim is the power
hungry older sister Of the
American model star Of the

The Black Mountain. BY Rex
Stout. (Viking Press; $2.75o
Here's a surprise package.
Nero Wolfe not only leaves
his house. He leaves the coun-
try. The sedentary thinker
becomes a man OF action.
Archie Goodwin is around
simply to carry the great
mans knapsack and shoot a
few people. So we find Wolfe
sleeping in haystacks, living
of chocolate bars, scrambling
up cliffs and tangling with
Albanians, Russians and Yu-
goslavians on their home
ground. Sailed into the action
are several lessons in the
contrast between free men
and political slaves. You won't

Suicide Excepted. BY Cyril

This polished addition to the
Murder Revisited" series was
published In England is years
ago but has not previously ap-
peared here-a lamentable
oversight to devotees of the
British judge who writes under
the Hare pseudonym. The sui

and daughter. who plump first
for accident and then for MUIR

stems from sentiment, the
sons from an urgent desire to
collect a chunk of insurance

The Case of the Restless Red
head. BY Earle Stanley
Gardner. CWilliam Morrow
g. Co.; $2.75.)
Perry Mason helps a young
lawyer clear his client of lar
ceny, thereby getting in on the
ground floor when she is sub
sequently accused of murder
Either she's a liar or the VIC
tim of one frame-up after
another. Mason decides to give
justice a bit of a shove with
some framing of his own-the
Gardner technique for intro
ducing the inevitable court
room fireworks. It's Mason ac-
cording to formula but meatier

A Key to Death. BY Frances

B. Lippincott; $2.500
The lawyer for Mr.. and Mrs.
North gets shot. so naturally
Pam insists on sleuthing. The
killer may have something to
do with a labor racketeering
case the lawyer insisted on
taking. Also, there's the law
yer's partner who benefits.
And the victim has reused a
parcel of romantically inspired
jealousy. Plenty of suspects
but not enough to hide a

though their works are by no
means limited to these colors.
Mrs. Appich paints chiefly
landscape and architecture,
but has heads in the show, in
dicating what she can do with
human subjects. Her best
work, in my opinion, is her
large Georgetown Towers"
seen as a distant vista through
foreground trees, a beautiful
work. Her romantic pine Tree
and Moon" is another appeal
ing performance.
Mr.. Giese shows several fig
ure paintings of young women,
the best of them a girl on a
beach, entitled "Danae," re-
ceiving the gold shower Of the
sun. His Sonata" falls below
this, as the young woman
playing it looks muscle-bound.
In his landscape paintings, he
favors little coves, beach
scenes, with glimpses Of the
sea and small boats.

Unique ToetiIe QuoIity
Salvador Magno is we'll
known in both North and South
America for the unique tactile
quality of his paintings. Visitors
can almost feel the softness
and texture of plumage. can
almost hear the calls, hoots,
squaWks or whatever kinds of
sound the various birds make.
Since the birds themselves are
strikingly decorative, and since
Senor Magno has added exotic
flowers and plants, insects. fish,
stretches of marsh, rocky head
lands and glimpses of the sea,
to give each bird a habitat,
the show is exceptionally color
full and charming. It will con-
tinue on view through Octo-
Der 80.
Since Washington is swarm
ing with bird watchers, who
consult eight-pound books and
maintain free lunches for
feathered friends in their
gardens or on window sills,
the exhibition should draw
crowds before it closes. Senor
Magno's paintings are super
realistic. for he is primarily
scientific illustrator who gets
a close likeness of his subjects.
The exhibition is enthusiast
cally recommended.
