Kendall FumiIy

George Washington Univer-
sity is showing this month in
its library a four-artist exhi-
bition by the late William
Sergeant Kendall and his wife,
Margaret Stickney, their
daughter Elizabeth and her
husband. Pierson Underwood.
The show is open daily and
Sunday through November 80,
but will be closed Thanksgiving
Day and Friday.
Sergeant Kendall was a dis
tinguished American artist in
the academic tradition. Born
in New York (1869), he studied
at the Art Students League,
with Thomas EakinS in Phila-
delphia, and at the Beaux-
Arts, Paris. A National Acad-
emician in his early 30s, he was
dean Of Yale University's
School of Fine Arts from 1918
to 1922. He received more
than 20 important awards
from the Paris Salon in 1901
to the National Academy in
1927. The National Collection
of Fine Arts and Corcoran
Gallery own works by him, and
his popular Psyche" in the
Metropolitan Museum, New
York City. was widely known
through color reproductions in
many homes.

Margaret Stickney Kendall's

shocked him into self-appraisal.
He vowed sobriety, and conti-
nence and promised to abstain
from using his dangerous fists
to settle arguments. Then he
studied for the priesthood.
AS a curate at st. Dominicks
Church Father Caruso was
called to the bedside of the
son Of q family he had known
all his life. On his deathbed
the young man, preparatory
to receiving the last rites of
the church, confessed to the
murder of a girl. The priest
knew that another man was
under death sentence for the
murder. But the sick man
quickly died, and there seemed
nothing the priest could do.
To break the seal of the con-
fessional was unthinkable. But
he could, and did, visit the
condemned man, try to find
some way to have the evidence
reviewed and clear this man
of the crime of which he was
innocent.
In DisObediance
Father Scarpi's quiet a0tiv-
tiles in behalf of the gambling
racketeer who was under
death sentence-also a boy
hood acquaintance of the
young priest--came to the at
tention of the chancery of the
archdiocese, and he was or
dered to cease his interference
with the course of justice.

compelled to disobey orders.
What happened then is told in
the swift. dramatic chapters
that close the book.
Mr.. Caruso has many char
acters, perhaps too many for
the brief scope of the book,
and yet they are clearly pre-
scented. We have the gentle,
sanity pastor of st. DOM
inick's destined to die of tuber-
culosis; Father Scarpi's two
fellow assistants; the Scarpi
family, many other Sicilians.

dictum, Il want woman to

that the relationship between

the poet, however. Only the
sketchiest references to Byron's
works are made, and then SIM

seems strange that she was not

RuciuI Tension

THE VOICE AT THE BACK
DOOR, by Elizabeth Spencer
(McGraw-Hill; 1885, is an
other novel of racial tensions in
the South, but more complex
and better written than most
stories dealing with this theme.
Miss Spencer, who wrote Fire
in the Morning" is a careful
observer. She describes with
insight and subtlety the at
fractions and conflicts of char
acters.
In her new book we are
concerned chiefly in small
town in Mississippi. with
Duncan Harper, the ex-foot-
ball hero, who is acting sheriff
after the veteran sheriff dies
of a heart attack, and Jimmy
Tallant, who returned from
the war plaStered with medals
and now is the favorite boot
logger of this dry county.
Harper takes his new Office
seriously and is determined to
close up Jimmy's roadhouse
and to see that Negroes re-
ceive equal justice. This is a
large order, as Harper finds
out when he is a candidate for
sheriff at the next election.
Meanwhile we are given a
close look at the complicated
lives and loves of Harper, Tab
liant and others important to
the narrative.
The worst fault of this book
is that just as the author
reaches a dramatic moment.
she almost invariably pauseS
for a long depression. The
story thus is slowed up so
often there is danger that
when the reader finally
reaches the climax. he will be
too weary to care.
