present. They hit upon the
idea of a piano which was
being built in their town, an
upright so elaborately carved
that it stood out even in. the
rocco 1870s and T880s. And,
to make a good story better,
its legs were popularity sup
posed to be carved from wood
taken from the columns of
King Solomon'S temple.
Just Another Oddly
The story fascinated a
young piano tuner in Jeru-
salem. 1t meant far more
to him than to the people of
Siena who felt their treasure
was suitably disposed of when
it was in the palace of their
King. And certainly it was
of more interest to him than
it was to the King himself
or to his successors. To them
it was just another oddly.
Pianos had become fiat and
big and plain. This one was
upright and very unplain.
This book is the account
of how the Israeli musician
technician Havner Carmi
finally got his hearts desire:
The piano whose wood came
from Solomon's temple. It's
an interesting story. here
over-written and overdrama-
tized. But any antiquarian
can share the sense Of the
hunt. And the treasure was
indeed just that, although
judging from the photo
graphs, the piano is not the
kind OF thing the average
housewife would tolerate in
her living room.
Shutting the Blame
The book is a stranI' one.
It's signed by both Mr.. Carmi
and his wife but is written
entirely in the first personal
singular in behalf of Mr..
Carmi. To complicate mat
ters there's an acknowledge
ment to Arthur Mcclure for
his 'literate expression" and
structure" of the story.
Actually "The Immortal
Piano" has neither literary
merit nor structure. It's not a
case of passing around the
credit; it's rather a shufling
off the blame here.

Theodore Roosevelt had his

And Easy Living
Prosperity seemed, as the

purists insisted, it turned in

1900-aSsured for all time.
The Boston Herald remarked
of 1899: IF one could not

COURSE BY Harry
Brown. (Knopf; $4.500
Harry Brown is a writer
Of reputation. especially in
dramatic forms. His play, "a
Sound of Hunting" was out
standing in 1945. For many
years he has been a movie
writer and he collaborated on
the prize-winning "a Place
in the Sum-" And yet it was
a first novel called "a Walk
in the Sum-" a perceptive war
war story, that first brought
him to notice.
"The Stars in Their
Courses" is a long period
novel of the West Q879O
The scene is Colorado, the
characters are rancherS.
Despite its literary trap
pings, this story is essentially
a Western, a horse opera,
and it does not belong in the
same league with A. B.
Guthrie's THE Big Sky" or
Walter Van Tilburg Clafk's
"The Track of the Cat"
There is enough bloodshed
for three ordinary Westerns.
The violence followed the
belief of the Lacy brothers
that the RandalS, who owned
most Of the Forkhandle
country, were diverting the
two streams to force others
to sell their lands. The
charge was not true. but that
didn't stop the shooting. One
of the Lacy wives ran off
with a Randall, the other
cheated with another charac-
ter.
An air of artificiality, Of
made" situations unfortu-
nately runs through the mar
rative. Even the poetic
touches-and Mr.. Brown is,
too, an established poet-do
not ring true. The dialogue,
while properly colloqlial, is
not always persuasive. Some
passages, as when Ellen Lacy
and Pax Randall learn they
are in love, are embarrasingly
overblown.
THE Stars in Their
Courses" hardly adds up to
the magnificent" novel de-
scribed by the publisher. But
it should make a stunning
movie and maybe a whole
