Tells of Youth
FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
By Dore Schary. (Random
House: $3.50
Dore Schary, the movie
producer turned playwright,
has written Of his youth in
Newark, N. j., with affec-
ton and nostalgia. His father
and mother were the pro-
prietors and operators Of
Schary Manor. a splendid
kosher establishment which
catered "for special occa-
sions."
His father was a mountain
Of a man, magnificently IRA
tional and overbearing. He
fought cars and impolite
guests. He started a row at q
wedding anniversary celebra-
ton by insisting that one of
the company should put his
napkin on his lap and not in
his collar. Mother was a su-
perb cook and loyal wife. The
young Scharys grew up in
love and security.
Mr.. Schary does not try to
distort any Of the principals
for comic purposes, and his
book is a series Of mildly hu-
morous episodes, in which the
odor Of fine cooking mingles
with an appreciation of the
foibles of humanity when
bent on having "a high
time" F

he passes by Heine's early
poems with their pretty SEN
timents," and while the later
longer poems he includes are
fine, I think that many early
lyrics are typical, great, not
at all pretty" and little
known. Der Domherr oeffnet
den Mund welt" is a good
example; another is ''Mein
Herr, mein Herr its traurig,"
a lyric unsurpassed and per-
haps unequaled in any Ian
guage, the last line of which
is the perfect type of Heine's
irony, sentiment and irresist-
able power.

pect bubbles about poems

be proud of a discerning and
stimulating collection.

Mr.. Manchester voices no

Mr.. Powell's book has been
praised for its keen insight
into character and its pene-
trating picture of English
society. I find this view diff
ficult to understand. His sit
uations are quite artificial,
and not one Of his characters
bears the slightest resem-
blsnce to anyone ever seen in
real life. The book and every
thing in it a witty creation
Of Mr.. Powell's imagination,
following new laws Of behav-
ior according to some new
literary non-Euclidian geom-
etry.
This is not to belittle Mr..
Powell's modus operandi, for
every page Of mis- book is un-
alloyed delight. Now and
then there are passages of
extended dialogue, but the
typical episode is an insigni-
fieant yet somehow pregnant
wisp of event in which
every commonplace observa-
tion and reply are separated
by two pages Of narrator's
comment.
There are four episodes in
this segment of Mr.. Powell's
chronicle, each independent
although subtly interrelated.
The first is from Nicholas

Army-officer father there is

Walter Kaufmann's latest
book is a collection of Ger
man poetry from Goethe to
Hesse, the original on left
hand pages, the English fac
ing on the right. It is a
highly personal and very in
teresting selection. Few "old
favorites" are to be found,
and unfamiliar pieces taken
from well-known poets min
gle happily with the best
poems of lesser-known writ
ers such as Conrad Meyer
and Gottfried Belln.
Among the Goethe poems
are II of the Venetian Epi-
grams" each a perfectly poll
ished and completely capti-
waiting thought: do not be
angry, women, when we ad-
mire a girl:i What in the
evening she stirs, you will
enjoy at night" Every en-
thusiast nail to the cross in
his 30th yearliOnce they
see through the world, those
taken in become knaves.
The reader, given the orig
inal, understands that Mr..
Kaufman has changed the
second line from the specific
singular to the general
plural, and appreciated his
difficulty-the word "der Be
trogne" anchors the passage
securely in the German Ian
guage.

who loves his Joyce and who

provocative.

who is a reader Of literature

about which he Is not espe-
ciaily helpful for those who
do not share his enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wescott is not entirely
convincing as a critic, be-
cause he is a friend Of his
subjects as well. and Is care
full to put himself, both per-
sonally and professionally In
relation to the writer's he
considers. He Is no phrase
maker and relies heavily on
exclamation points. It is well
that he should take them
seriously, but not so good
that he should take himself
equally seriously. A really
brilliant critic must forget
himself. So must a portrait
painter. In general, Mr.. Wes-
colt is most effective when he
describes the writer's rather
than their works. There are
excellent descriptions of Co
lette, Isak Dinesen, Thomas
Man, Thornton Wilder and
Somerset Maug h a m. His

neSen is the best.

from the intrusion Of Mr..
