Wise, and | edited by Thurman L. Hood, dean 1 of Trinity college. ‘ All sorts of “Omnibus” volumes have beer issued, but llenry Holt is publishing the first ‘Contract Bridge Omnibus” in the latter part of July. Harold Thorne, who is the author, is an English writer, and his books on bridge have ! been very popular in this coun ‘tr;\'. particularly his “Contract Bridge in Twenty Minutes.” The '“Commct Bridge Omnibus” will lanalyze and compare all of the Jeading systems of contract bridge, including the approach forcing, the one-over-one and the official two club. Bridge enthusiasts who !know what it is to be confronted ;with partners or opponents who ! use different systems will be tpleased to learn of this new book. ‘Mr. Thorne, incidentally, is at ’present giving serious thought to the formation of a team to enter lone of the international bridge | tournaments. : : } Here are some more of those ‘notes by Ella Winter, author of “Red Virtue' (Harcourt, Brace): I"Then 1 went to Germany and worked with Professor - Koehler, 'head of the Gestalt School of Psychology and professor of . Pay chology in Berlin university at Erlangen for a few weeks; then to London; and then to San Remo where in a villa surrounded by creepers on a funny ooad called ‘Private Road Hope' Pete danced int othe world. Stetfens hus told that story in ‘Radiant TFather hood.’” And then back to Italy end another winter on the Riviera at Alassio - where Pete learned .to crawl among the calla lilies and his papa started writing down his life for him in his Autobiography. The tragedy of that winter was when a frost <ane vnexpectedly and laid low my calla Illics and tire roses and the myriad cacti that live like camels by storing water in their leaves. et “It was months before Giuseppe, the old Italian gardener, had cut C A e ARt b §Ar N STI P | away the damage done by that I|frust. A friend came over and | commiserated, an Englishman who llived a half hour away, Geoffrey Holdsworth, husband of B Stern. Rebecca West was staying with them then, just back from her first American lecture trip. But Geoffrey Holdsworth couldn’t stand their gayety. He came over to Alassio and wept with me about our calla lilies. That year Frederick O'Brien had a villa at Alassio and we had visitors from ‘the outside world’ come to see Wascistmm or the sun or Pete. Jo '‘Davidson made sketches of Pete in his bath and the Italian peas |ant cook stood open-mouthed and stared at the little English woolies [that wounld be sent for him from |England. qs he a prince? she would ask.” More next week, Margaret Culkin Banning, whose new novel, “Path of True Love,” 'was recently published by Har uper’s, says she prefers reading to ‘lw_writing: «There is no kind of ”,‘reading which does not interest t me, except that of some text l,bouks. 1 think one ought to give {'the mind a lot of rope and not {worry about its hanging itself. A |few mental hangings might do some good. I still think that ‘The American Tragedy’ and ‘Death | Comes to the Archbishop’ and |“Farewell to Arms’ are the only icontemporary Amercan nove's |lrda deliberately buy for an educat !ed foreigner, though I have en .'joyed and respected them and \lworkmanship in hundreds of ' others. I might add that I do not ‘lthink that” my opinion is of the | slightest jmportance. People sometimes ask you if you are iiafraid of ‘running out of jideas’ or "ls writing does ‘BO stale.’ That {will happen if you are not feed ;‘ing your writing with plenty of ‘{good raw life. I think that every }}human relation, every political in | terest, every neighbor and every \lvoyage that a writer takes helps |him.

He is here Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday Ben Lyon and attractive Peggy Shannon play a mystery story for your en tertainment and it is “Girl Missing”, This is really a com edy that rankles in mystery. } Guy Kibbe, Mary Brian, Glenda ~ Farrell, Lyle Talbot and Har ~ old Huber complete the -cast, and what a cast it is! Follow this stiriing mystery on the screen of the Palace Wednes day and then see a neéws reel and a comedy, “She Outdone Him"”. And now here comes a big pre miere for you.

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.” . - ' } Here and there: Vina Delmar's i&_till in Hollywood where .she just I;igned a new movle-writing con tract . . . “The Marriage Rack- iét" came out last week (Harcourt, Brace) . ...

And on the way is “College Humor” and “Interna tional House.” For good old time raucous humor and slapstick com edy you can’t beat the team of W. C. Fields and Peggy Hopkins Joyce in the last named. Just see Fields drive his Austin up and down fire escapes, on to roof gar dens, through the lobby of the hotel and into his autogyro. nomie, political and national <characteristies. Pithy bits of description throughout the liftle volume give indelible impressions. For in stance: “In the South American grand opera, Rio de Janeiro is undoubc:dly the lead’'ng tenor, If there are seven wonders in the world, this city is one of them.” Speaking of the Argentina Pampa, he Iwrites: “Nature . . . remains untamea. These great plans are 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 doned, reminding us that we are not in the Old Country.” One of the exciting things about this slender book of “Im- pressions” is its make-up. Scat tered throughout are line draw ings by lone Robinson, some full- page and some merely decorations, but. alk of them pleasing. Then there are eight photographic re productions. ' which are printed Wwithout borders, and which cover the entire page. Altogether attractive, this vol- lume may, nevertheless, prove -a bit disappointing to readers who expect to find a detailed analysis of South Amercian countries and conditions. They will find enough to give them an insight into the ’people. and idea of the country. (It's a well-written book, - informal land readable—like a conversation. i ~J. F. ‘ LAKE OF FIRE | “LLAKE OF FIRE,” by Lio nel Houser. Published by ' Claude Kendall, 295 , pages; l $250. Reviewed by John Gal loway. The very prologue of Lionel Houser's first novel, “Lake of Fire,” gives a hint of the horror, mystery, and gruesome doings that are to follow. It is a story of a “dead” man’s search for his own murderer, and though not in LEADING SINGERS N LOCAL (PERAS Hugh Hodgson Will Di rect Two Operas at Sum mer School Here Miss Edwina FEustis, contralto, member of the Philadelphia Grand Opera.

Grand Opera has been produced for nine seasons at, the Univer sity, but thig is the firsy time it will be under Professor Hodgson’'s direction. . Plans are more elabo rate this year than ever before, and the greatest artistic success is assured. “Martha” will he produced July 12 ard “Faust” July 14, both op eras in English, L. G.

The orchestra and chorus are composed as far as possiblé of students and citizens of Athens. This year we have the assistance of members of the Phil harmonic Orchestra and chorus of Atlanta, under the direction of Mr. Ni'son.

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, ; GEORGIANS ELECT FORMER ATHENIAN AT HOLLYWOOD Curtis W.
