‘ All sorts of “Omnibus” volumes

of July. Harold Thorne, who is
the author, is an English writer,

Bridge in Twenty Minutes.” The
'“Commct Bridge Omnibus” will
lanalyze and compare all of the

including the approach forcing,
the one-over-one and the official

“IMPRESSIONS OF SOUTH
AMERICA,” by Andre Sieg
fried, New York; Harcourt,
Brace; 192 pages.
Andre Siegfried, who spoke in
Athens several years ago, is the
recognized ‘author of ‘“America
Comes of Age,” and @&s such has
been recognized as one of the
leading presemt-day commentators
on political and economic affairs.
| In this new book of his, the
pAenor is strictly niformal and the
reader will find himself imbibing
much through the entertaining
medium chosen. Originally, the
“Impressions of South' America”
were letters; collected in book
form, those letters lose mnone of
ttheir freshness, informality —and
personal touch. Written in 1931,
M. Siegfried’s comments are still
apropos, a fact which one easily
realizes after reading' the addi
‘tions of the translators, H. H.
and Doris Hemming, who have
brought the political ' events up
to-date in notes for each country.
There are-chapters about Peru,
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezu
ela, the Panama Canal, and sev
eral chapters devoted to General
Impressions. For each of these
countries, M. Siegfried gives the
salient points: descriptive, eco-
estly wants to. find out about what
happens in the world.” . - '

throughout the liftle volume give
indelible impressions. For in

there are seven wonders in the
world, this city is one of them.”
Speaking of the Argentina Pampa,
he Iwrites: “Nature . . . remains

still free and untrammelled. We
catch sight of pink flamingoes,
standing beside immense pools left
there by the rain; mirages a\cross
a horizon that never ends; car
casses of animals, simply aban

about this slender book of “Im-

there are eight photographic re

the strictest sense a mystery story,
it has many of the elements that
make mystery tales such a pop
ular form of fiction.
Houser has based his story on
a series of wierd coincidences,
which, incidentally, do not de
ltract from the stroy as a story,
because one expects such im
}mobable occurrences after read
ing a few pages of the book. The
plot begins, after a forewarning
prologue laid in the jungles of
Burma on the Irriwaddy river. .
‘ Norris Haldorn is forced by the
‘terms of his father's will to leave
New York and not return for four
years, on penalty of being disin
‘herited. And, to make thinegs
rea!ly interestng, the elder Hal
dorn’s will stipulated that his son
should be accompanied on his
travels by some eligbile. young
lady, properly chaperoned, of
course, The first young lady given
the opportunities that would nat
‘urally result from such close con
tact with the wealthy young Hal
dorn was Night Gambier, a crea
ture of strange charm, and not so
strange motives, She both attracts
and Yepels Haldron, so that by
the time they reach Burma he is
in a turmoil of hopes, fears, and
obsessions.
In Burma he meets Ed Black
burn, who, in physical aspects, at
least, is an exact counterpart of
Haldorn, almost a perfect replica.
From that point it is easy to see
how the story is going. Haldorn,
anxious to get back to New York
and see a former schoolmate, his
closest friend, who has only a few
weeks jto live, bribes Blackburn
to assume the role of the wan
dering millionaire, =so that he,
Haldorn, may return to New York
‘ncognito. Blackburn, however,
has plans of his own, and decides
to make the change a permanent
one.
It would be unfair to the pros
pective reader to divulge any
more of the plot, but from that
torrid night in Burma, when
those two men whose physical re
semblance {* so uncanny change
plq.ces, the story moves rapidly
from one scene to another, and
from one horror to another. After
a terrific series of episodes on a
gambling ship anchored off the
California coast, things reach a
startling elimax in a San Fran
cisco courtroom, where Haldorn
is being tried for his own murder.
It cannot be said that “Lake of
Fire” marks the arrival of a new
genius in the world of fiction. But
it is good reading, and it improves
consistently, until, with the last
few chapters, Houser (who, by the
way, is literary editor of the San
Francisco News) gives promise
of being a much-sought-after
young man among the publishers
of horror and mystery tales, ;
