Little, Brown, Remarque’s “ publishers, assert that the author ~ cpanged his residence to Switzer land vsiuntarily some time ago and meanwhile visits Germany frequently. Mr. Knickerbocker alse said, “Emil Ludwig and seores of Jewish authors less known abroad have fled to Swit . gerland.” His American publishers o say that Ludwig has lived in gwitzerland since 1928. Speaking of Remarque, his name always struck me as a pe ouliar one for a German—it seem ed to be more Fl‘gnch or Latin, than Teutonic.

That's his pame: Erich Maria Kramer. “There are seven senses the novelist must satisfy in his writ ing, Lionel Houser, author of “Lake Fire,” says. “First, he must satisfy ‘the five physical senses of his reader. Each scene wherein it is possible he must tap hearing, sight, smell, taste, and wouch. Then there s that sixth sense of the reader's to ‘be fed, that sense paving to do with the " guitability of the prose, with its rhvhtm and appropriateness to the action. And there is then that *fast and seventh sense of beauty which is so seldom attended to, the sense that, satisfied by the author, moves the reader to breathe, ‘That has beauty’.” ‘“Lake of Fire” has just been published by Claude Kendall, and will b 2 reviewed on this page soon.

C. Collodon. Published by Claude Kendal, New York. Price $3.00. Reviewed by Bryan C. Lump kin® On the cover of “Conzo Jake” is the line, “The story of an adven turous life.” In simple language that line describes the hook but to one who has read it it sounds flat. The experiences that befell “Congo Jake” in more than fifty years in darkest Africa, before telegraph lines spanned the conti nent, before non-stop flights weére being made from London to Cape town—are numerous enough to fill the lives of three ordinary men. Congo Jake went to sea as a boy under an old sea captain, and the lessons he learned lingered freshly seventy years later. The boy did not at the time realize the invaluable aid the weatner beaten old sea captain was to him in forming the later charac tey of the man, but the man fully "reé]i‘zed it and gave all credit to the captain. . “Upon the death of the captaini he ‘'was drawn by an unseen mas net into the ivory trade in Africa and there his adventures really started. He tells of his romance and marriage with the daughter of an ivory trader—one that lasted until death separated them. of his first adventures in the then especially dangerous bartering of beads and cloth for elephant tusks. Tribal warfare and peace time politics of the natives were‘ related. Personal conflicts in which the life of the trader and his party hung in the balance is | related as simply as one might say, “Have a cigarette.” | Throughout the book Congo Jake's theories and philosophies of life are set down in mild but clear terms. His style reflects a person who never raises his voice but when waking to find Africa’s deadliest reptile within three feet of his head, carefully considers what to do and then does it—and js surprised that anyone should have been frightened or think he was éspecially courageous. ~ Effectively he debunks the “darkest Africa” ballyhoo stories but he relates in detail the mys tery of ‘the country—without at tempting to explain it. He proves, at least to his own satisfaction, that no matter how much white civilization dis impressed upon Africa—native Africa will remain just what it was hundreds of cen- artist’s pencil and sketching him. goth the cartoons appear in the Dook, which is published by Mc- Bride—who also announce Irvin S.

There are gruesome details in the book, such as head-hunting, cannibalism, etc., but Congo Jake tells of them in one breath and in the next is describing some thing else far off in another realm before the stomach of the reader has a chance to grow squeamish. If you liked Trader Horn you'll be crazy about Congo Jake and you'll immediately realize he is the real article. MYSTERY NOVEL “THE ALBUM,” by Mary Roberts Rinehart, New York; Farrar and Rinehart, Inc. . Starting off with a nice grizzly murder with a poor invalid killed with an axe, and ending with an other grisly crime, when a body is decapitated and stuffed into an old trunk, “The Album” runs along merrily in the best manner of Mary Roberts Rinehart. This new mystery novel is about the Crescent—a very exclusive portion of the city, in which thers are five houses. Although more than one person livds in each of these houses, they are extreme ly reminiscent of the mnewspaper tales current a while back about the Wendel home in New York. The Talbots are a queer lot; Mrs. Talbot insists on locking every door in the house—she keeps the keys herself and there’s only one key to each door, too. The Lan casters are related to the Talbots and their family consists of two old maids—oops! I mean unclaim ed treasures—who have given up their lives waiting on their inva lid mother. The Halls consist of Louise, who tells the story, and her mother, who has worn black ever since her husband died 20 or 30 vears ago. Get the idea? Everything moves along very nicely until someone sneaks into the Lancaster home in broad day light, kills Mrs. Lancaster with an axe, and leaves with a for tune she was hoarding in gold— which weighs a mighty lot—with out anyone seeing him. Then there follows a series of events which succeeds in getting the reader more and more confused until the end when everything is explained nicely by a very nice detective ‘who marries Louisa. «The Album” derives its title !from the fact that the clue to the solution of the crime lies in an old family album. While this book—which you may have read in the Post in serial form—doesn’t have quite as many delicious chills as some of Mrs. Rinehart’s other ‘books, it still has enough, and «The Album” will certainly take your mind cff this weather we're Basiog. - .o sedo THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Novarro-Loy at Palace in Latest Desert Picture “The Barbarian”, -with Ramon shic g oie 3520 oot QR 3 3 Nobarro cast as the Egyptian guide whose interest in fair: ladies mak ing the grand tour, increases in proportion ' to the size'. of ~ their pockets, opéen at the Palacé ~‘l§l€n-1 ter Monday for a two day sche dule. : i “The Barbarian” is one of those fortunately contrived talking-pic ture efforts which combines thril~ ling episodes and a ecolorful ro mance with a generous peppering of fresh, ingratiating humor, Playing before satisfied audience in ‘Atlanta last week, this picture drew much favorable response.
