This Effervescent Novel

THE NEON RAINBOW, by
Charles Terrot Dutton; So

of effervescence which makes

usual these days to find a
novel you can say that about.

some of the wackiest charac-
ters outside of P. G. Wode-
house. Mr.. Terrot does not
write like MI. Wodehouse and
is not so hilarious-if the
Wodehouse stories have that
effect on you-but there are
some good laughs in this novel
and plenty of comic melo-
drama.
Don't expect the characters
or the situations to be plausi-
ble-it's not that kind of a
story. 1t reminds me of one of
the popular old stock COM
pany plays of a generation or

The Neon Rainbow is a
London restaurant whose
owner features the traditional
fish and chips but has an
original sideline - gorgeous
tropical live fish which he
sells. He raises one rare
species, the Siamese fighting
fish, which some racketeers
are after to stage secret bouts
with all the trimmings of cock
fights. But there's no use
going any further into the
plot, which has a proper COM
plexity.
There are at least three ro-
mances. The chief one is be-
tween a young burglar who is
trying to go straight and, of
all girls, the daughter of the
detective who sent him up for
his last prison stretch.
It's all good clean entertain
ment.

New Approaches to the
Figure in Contemporary Paint
ing" is the theme of this
months exhibition at Watkins
Gallery. American University
campus (through March 26)..
According to Robert Gates,
head of the art department,
and Helene McKinsey, who
selected most of the show in
New York City.
1.-The abstract artist in the
past few years has returned to
the figure in his painting be-
cause he is adding another
element to abstraction or pure
expression. The figure as he
approaches it has no literary
or even visual significance"
(here the layman may be for
given for wondering why the
figure or any other theme
should be specif1ed) "as it has
in academic painting, and yet
for him the figure has become
the whole motivation for the
painting. 1t is as if he has
learned a whole new vocabu-
larry through abstract express
sionism and is now using it to
say something significant, for
him. about the figure per se."
Rediscovering Subjects
This return to the figure Cor
any other specific theme) is
nothing new with abstract art
lists. At intervals pure in
vention seems to pail, and they
rediscover subject matter, as a
point of departure for further
inventions. There is no reason
why they should not refresh
themselves at natures fount;
but the layman should be in
formed. in the present in
stance, that in the majority of
these paintings any resem-
blance to the human figure as
he knows it is purely coinci-
dental.

eye. She is a versatile, pol
ished writer. precise, and
perceptive.
Mavis Gallant has staked out
for herself a preserve that has
long needed claimant. That
is the world of the new gener-
alton of expatriate Americans,
those who go to Europe with
husbands or jobs. Miss Gallant
depicts them as they ransack
the Old World for impressions,
for glamour, catches them at
that moment when they find
the real thing and turn away
from its decrepit splendor.
"The Other Paris" illustrates
the point. A young American
secretary finds a f1ance, but
not love in Paris; nor, even for
that matter, a change. There
are crowds and Coca-Cola as
at home; and it rains all the
time. Her one real glimpse of
the continental world sends
her rushing back to her own.
1t was not what she expected.
Miss Gallant is not Sombre
about all this. She is better at
accepting things than her
character. And she has a
splendid sense of humor as is
infectiously displayed in 1.-THE
Deceptions of Marie Blanche"
an hilarious picture of a proper
nch-Canadian maiden.
This is Miss Gallant's first
book, and it's as good as ex-
cellent writing and an under
standing of people both in
their own and in someone
else's world can make it.

Suspense about Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's presence in the
second place on the Republican
ticket is going to be prolonged
until August. Meantime, how
ever, he will be very much in
evidence on publishers lists.
Two books about the young
Vice President. both by asso-
ciate editors of famous peri
odicals, will appear within a
month of each other.
Say what you will about Mr..
Nixon, it has been definitely
established that controversy
clings to him like burr. So
it is with the publication of
these two books. Already
there's an argument.

Toledano of Newsweek, an as
sociate and admirer of the
Vice President since Hiss
Chamber days, will be pub
lished March IL. But are they
getting there with the mostest?
That is the question.
In a heralding add, Holt
said-and it seems a modest
claim-that this was "the only
biography written with the
cooperation of the Vice
President"
Promptly, G.. P. Putnam's
Sons, publishers of This Is

exception to the only" bit.
They said that their man had
been in and out of Nixon's
Office and his files as well.
Holt has not responded, any
more than Mr.. Nixon ever
talks back to the Democrats.
AS far as we can make out
the de Toledano book "a New

tory") is about the man; the
Keogh book is about the rec
ord. Probably not much

hilton, Portraits de Famille,"
by Marie Therese Fevrier, an
other first" in Washington
this month, at the Franz Bader
Gallery, 1705 G street, through
March "a,
The artist, a PariSienne, is
the daughter of a composer
and sister of concert pianist.
AS a child. constantly told to
be quiet" and not disturb her
musical family, she turned to
the silent art" of painting,
studied at the Beaux-Arts in
Paris, under Andre Lhote, and
finally at the Ecole du Louvre.
The war years were eventful.
She escaped from Nazi-in-
vaded France to Algiers and,
for a time, broadcast for the
USOWI. An Italian bomb
destroyed a large exhibition Of
her paintings, another Italian
air-raid wrecked her house in
Algiers.
After the war her paintings
began to sell in France. She
hitch-hiked to Brittany and
bartered paintings for food. In
1949 she returned to Paris and
embarked on the kind of genre
now at Bader Gallery. Re-
constructing in her imagina-
ton, France at the turn of the
y century, she has painted her
parents, their relatives, friends
and associates during La
Belle Epoque.
In view of Mile. Fevrier's
education, these paintings
with numerous figures in the
costumes and uniforms of half
century ago, are surprisingly
primitive, with a tongue-in-
cheek quality. According to
some arguments, the only true
picture of any period is that
captured by it contemporaries.
Mile. Fevrier's reconstructions
have a gay naivete that the
fin de steele probably lacked.
Nevertheless, her impressions
of how it may have been, are
just as legitimate subjects for
painting as the innumerable
personal sensations and re-
actions to everything, so
highly regarded by the avant-
garde.

Joe Summerford's Nude" a
poetic conception shrouded In
a blaze of light yellows and
rose.
Nicholas Vasilieff's "Reclin-
ing Nude" in its bright colors
and lumpy badly drawn figure,
is the nearest to naturalism
of a kind the primitive painter
would achieve. Consequently
it did not impress me as a

Indo- China Chaos
Without ever straining to do
so, or even seeming to, Fowler
sketches an atmospheric pic

Saigon. with it's melange of
nationalities. preyed on with
lethal grenades tossed by ter

and confused fighting to the
north. with a certain number
of French Foreign Legionnaires

Fowler does not even pre-
tend to be an admirable
character. But he has his
points.
The Moral
If you insist on a moral,
you might find it in the
tendency of well meaning
aliens. especially Americans,
to assume they can diagnose
and cure offhand the troubles
of countries which they fail
utterly to understand.
Aside from that, I think
you'll find "The Quiet Ameri-
can" an absorbing story. Mr..
Greene is one Of the most
skillful writer's practicing
today in a country where COM
petence in writing is more
taken for granted than over
here.
