9 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17. 1907. Arthur Pendennis Jr.'s Weekly Review of Books "SATAN SANDERSON." By Halils Ermine Hives. (The Bobbs-MerrUI ^The^Bobto-Merrlll Company, of In dianapolis. places on eale today (the t:ih of August) the latest literary pro duction of Halite Ermlnle Rives, called •Satan Sanderson." The publication^ any new work by the author of "A Fur. nace of Earth;" "Hearts Courageous" and "The Castaway" will cause natural comment and much Interest. - ■ In "Satan Sanderson the author has taken for her principal characters— opposed to each other, two young men of the same ag6, same manner of liv ing at college (which had been out rageous), similarity of face and form, svhich were comely, and upon this lat ter similarity hangs the principal work ing out of the plot—namely mistaken Identity. „ . „ . . , . . „ "Harry Sanderson, styled Satan,” bv his admirers and friends at college, h'as had a change of heart and when the (took opens he Is In charge of a rich fashionable and influential church, no its rector. In the dty where this church Is located, lives periodically •Hugh Stlres." a dissolute son of rich old "David Stlres." At college Hugh Stlres had been a follower and admirer, also would-be Imitator of Harry San derson, and so much were these two men together that Hugh Stlres was known as "Satan's Shadow." When the book opens David Stlres Is preparing his will to disinherit his son. Hugh, favor of his .beautiful blind ward, young daughter (named Jessica Holme), of a deceased friend. Harry Sanderson as religious adviser and friend was present at the drawing up of this will and something suggests the thought that he might have been, by example In former days, responsible now for the Influence which "Sntftn Sanderson" had over Hugh Stlres and for the latter's present dissolute habits. Tim signing of the will was postponed; Hugh Stlres appears on the scene again (he had been away on one of his periodic trips) reinstates himself in his father’s good opinion and falls In lure with the ward, Jessica Holme— jo does Harry Sanderson, alias "Satan." the rector. As stated, Jessica Is blind, hut a surgical operation soon to be performed, promises to relieve her per. mediately which, In face. It does lm. mediately after her wedding. Wed dings even without an operation are said to have a habit of opening brides' eyes. Hugh Stlres wants to marry jesica before she regains her sight and does so—the rector (he of the allitera tive names) officiating at the wedding ceremony. Just after the wedding, in fact while the bride and groom are wailing to leave the house, David Stircs discovers that his son, Hugh, had only recently, since his last return home, even tfrhlle pleading reformation, forged his father’s name to a draft for Jj.noo. David orders Hugh from the house and signs the will disinheriting the latter In favor of Jessica. Hugh leaves for parts unknown and old David and Jessica begin a Journey In search of peace, which ends only for David as the books shows later, In his death. Now, the plot Is primarily laid around the unusual (In life but common enough in hooks) physical likeness be tween Hugh Stlres and Harry San derson. Hugh Stlres goes West, gets mixed up In all kinds of trouble, kills a man and returns to his home town, where he calls on his friend, Sander son, at the church for financial help with which to leave the country. Before this time, right after the wed ding, JessJOATHotaa-bad.,(Accused gag. derson of havlhg influanced Hughs life, so when Hugh returns again ask ing for financial assistance, Sanderson agrees to let him have $2,000.00 of the funds of the church. If Hugh will win It from him In a cart game. Htigh. of course, h&s no money tonls st&Ke in the game, but the rector. San derson, offers him a lot of red disks which are each to represent one day of good, living—for every one of which disks Hughloses to Sanderson, Just so many days must Hugh live righteously. While these arrangements were being made between these two men, they were In the vestry room of Sandersons church. Instead of having the game quietly In this room (If play they must) Sanderson takes Hugh out Into the the church proper, Into the chancel ana the game of poker Is played by the light of a lantern upon the Communion Table under the Cross. The authors motive In the use of this offensive and sacrilegious scene was either to Im press Hugh Stlres or Her readers with the solemnity of the game of poker, or else to make an Inexcusable liter ary sensation. The gain of either ob ject In view can excuse no such use of God's house In a novel or anywhere else. It Is simply nauseating and dis gustingly audacious In what no doubt the author would be pleased to desig nate os Its realism and It absolutely ruins the whole book. There Is no excuse whatever for the author to have employed so Injudicious (to say the least) piece of yellow Jon™? 1 * 8 "! - : even Thomas Dixon. Jr., the Triologtst ami former minister of the gospel would no doubt hesitate at this exhi bition of literary sacrilege and audac ity. Of course Hugh Stlry and San derson are discovered at tins game of poker In this holy place and they both rush out of the church ana disappear. The book does not say where Hugh goes (and really no one cares), but Sanderson being Injured in a railway wreck, gets his brain knocked up, as It deserved to be, and loses his Identity, hi, mental balance—does not even know his own name and lands in a mining camp In the far west, where he Is recognised for Hugh Btlres (tee that mistaken Indentlty getting busy?). Later he Is arrested and tried for the murder committed by Hugh. Hugh went back to his home town, roba the church there of some money, which Sanderson had left, the church catches on lire, Hugh gets nearly burned to death. Is recognised for Sanderson (see that mistaken Identity again?), but on his recovery the author sends Hugh out west to Sandersons trial. Where the Utter U playing * h », martyr act. Hugh discloses his Iden tity, real one thle time—frees Bander- sen and unites by hla own death Jes- •Ica and Sanderson. You see Jeealca had also accepted Sanderson, as Hugh (her husband), when Jthe latter arrived, lost mentally at the mining camp, near which Jessica and old David Stlres were stopping at a sanatorium. It all turns out nicely with poetic Justice or otherwise*, as you will. """’"work— of sensatlonalUm. Miss Hallle Ermlnle Rives (now Mrs. Post Wheeler) Is most favorably re membered In Atlanta, where she spent quite a time at the Aragon hotel, about seven years ago. Mil, Rives married Sir. Post Wheeler, the originator of those cynical but bright "Reflections of a Bachelor," but It would be unfair to accuse even Mr. Wheeler's influence without a hearing of that terrible de bauchery. used by Miss Rives, in de picting a poker game In the chancel on the communion table of a house of God. "THE MILITANT8.” By Mary Ray mond Shipman Andrews. (Charles Scribners* Sons.. “Tho Militants” Is a first-class col lection of admirable, wholesome short stories by that pleasing writer, Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews. In a col lection of even nine short stories, where all are good] and clean, It Is rather dif ficult to select In a rtvlew any one to which to call the attention of prospec tive readers. But It Is sufficient to say that the reader who tries one of these stories In "The Militants" will read them all. The scenes and the characters are very varied. The author In ono story will tell the reader of the heroism of a minister of the gospel In.some small, provincial town, then the next story will take us way off to the Western pinions, to shoW that heroism or self- sacrifice Is not a question of locality The author writes as would a South ern woman—at least her stories are filled with that delightful atmosphere, refreshing to all, but difficult to de- scribo. All of the stories In “The Militants" are first-rate, but' If called upon to select one or two, as an appetiser, "The Bishop's Silence" and "The Alde-de- Camp” would bo good selections. A collection of stories, such as "The Militants" can always be honestly recommended to discriminating read ers. The only pity is there are not more of that kind.

L'p to thle time churches dedicated to the worship of Qod hava been saved from desecration even by “best seller^ novelists snd It Is a blttsr pill for Southern people to swallow, that It has been left to a Southern young woman to commit this sacrilegious Ut- • rary set.

O O O 00O0000O000000000000O00O0O The telegraph strike has entered the theatrical world and has played havoc with the vaudeville bookings. There are artists who have wired for con tracts, and their wires have never been received; others who have been wired offers and their replies have, never got back and still others who are not able to make offers at all. This state of affairs has worried the management of the Pastime theater to secure bookings for next week, but all obstacles have been overcome and four stellar acta assured, with the possi bility of an added two. Harry Howard, the best mimic on the stage, who made such a hit this week with bis farmer and female Im personations, has been secured for an other week, when he will put on the act that made him famous, enUtled "An Irish Biddy." Miss Sadie Carl has been secured to sing Illustrated songs In lieu of Miss Stlnburne, who returns to New York. Miss May A. Maybln, the cham pion woman shoe dancer of the world.
