PARAGRAPH REVIEWS
OP THE WEEK
THE WORLD OP FALSE FACES,
by George Jean Nathan. Nathan
needs no introduction to the read
ing world. His “views on art
and criticism, on theatre and
drama, on men and women, on
the world we live in and which
we play” are written from a new
point of view, and make delight
ful reading.
# * *
HOWARD’S END, by E. M. For
ster. The story is built about
the married life of a typically
successful business man and a
woman of high ideals; the strug
gle of the fine idealism of the
woman against the crassness and
selfishness which at times domi
nates her husband. Forster’s
style makes the story.
ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI, by G.
K. Chesterton. An appraisal of
the greatest characters of history,
one of the outstanding figures of
the middle ages. Chesterton’s
estimate is one of the ablest ever
written.
• * »
THE ROVING CRITIC, by Carl
Van Doren. The author is one
of the foremost critics in the
country today, and this latest
book is an accurate reflection of
his ability. “The measure of the
creator,” says Van Dorn, “is the
amount of life he puts into his
work. The measure of the crit
ic is the amount of life he finds
there.”
ONE ACT PLAYS, by Christopher
Morley. Everyone has heard of
Morley as an author of essays but
few know that he is also some
thing of a playwright.
THE EVERLASTING STAIN, by
Kelly Miller. Another story re
vealing about the race problem.
Miller, a new^ writer to many,
throws new light on the race sit
uation from a fresh point of
view.
* * *
LEAVES PROM A RUSSIAN
DIARY, by Pitrim Sorokin The
fascinating account of the auth
or’s wanderings, escapades and
experiences under the Soviet reg
ime. It is of real interest also
because of - jlthe authenticity of
the major portion of the narra
tive, with regard to actual condi
tions in Russia of late years.
• * # r
SHOUTS AND MURMURS, by Al
exander Woollcott. Playwrights
and players come into the lime
light in this book', in which the
writer relates his adventures
among such well known per
sonages as John Barrymore, Eu
gene O’Neill, James M. Barrie,
Prank Tinney and others.
• • •
THE ADDING MACHINE, by E.
L. Rice. This play is regarded
by most critics as typical of the
so-called “new expressionism.”
Romanticists might be J inclined
to term it “sordid”—it does typ
ify something new in the field of
playwrighting.
CHARACTERS FEATURE
OF MOCKBEGGAR
Meynell’s latest book, is a
clever character study of a
group of modern, moderatelv
rich, English people. On the thresh
old of aristocracy yet coming of
middle-class antecedents, they com
bine the manners and opinions of
both. MOCKBEGGAR used as a
title here means: “a< pretentious
house where no hospitality is of
fered and no charity is given.
RACHEL MASSINGER and her in
fluence upon the life of the circle
forms the motivating interest. She
is sought by all the types of men
her acquaintance affords,—HUGH,
WILSON, and VIVIAN, but with
none can she find complete happi
ness. Her nature is too many-sided
to find its complement. Her mod
ernity is astounding!
Although the plot is meagre, one
will find delight in the sincere
carefulness of character portrayal.
VIVIAN is the best of the six in
spite of RACHEL’S constant pres
ence. The change in ideas prior
to the late war and in the post war
days is shown with marked em
phasis. Bits of satiric comment on
our modern, social questions come in
most unexpected parts of the book.
The story is a trifle slow in de
velopment but has a really whole
some ending. Meynell has a most
happy selection of names, some
thing rare in this day of haste, and
readers will not soon forget
RACHEL, as, standing iin her
room in Half-Moon street she ob
serves, “Life is not empty, for al
ways there will be love and chiv
alry,—men who will brave death
for the favor of beauty.”

A SYMPOSIUM
The problem of sex, and the so
called “ethics of sex” have come
in for considerable comment with
in the past few years. Many are
aghast at the fact that the old ideas
of morality seem to be going by the
board. The freer relationships
which exist between the sexes are
looked upon askance by the elder
generation as signs of certain de
generacy in the modern standards
of conduct. Each new book appear
ing on the subject has borne the
stamp of a single individual’s ooint
of view.
And now appears OUR CHANG

the views of fifteen writers, critics,
and social workers, as expressed in
essays on the modern trend of mor
ality. This book edited by Freda
Kirchway, an associate editor on
the NATION, represents a note
worthy step in the direction of
clearing the somewhat hazy atmos
phere which surrounds the problem
of sex at present. No sweeping
analysis is made, no general pan
acea is offered. Instead of one
point of view being presented and
upheld, there are fifteen.
Ludwig Lewisohn, scholar and
critic, includes an essay in the book
entitled “Love and Marriage.” Ed
win Muir, one of the faremost es
sayists in the country, contributes
an article on the question: “Wo
men—Free For What?” “Modern
Love and Modern Fiction” is the
title Joseph W. Krutch, dramatic
editor of the Nation selects for
his explanation of the changing
moral scheme. Bertrand Russell
writes on “Style in Ethics;” Arthur
Hays on “Modern Marriage,” and
Elsie Clews PaTsons on “Changes in
Sex Relations.” Each one is inter
estingly written; each one presents
a fresh point of view.

“A Reasonable
Religion”
CARL B. WETHERELL, Pacific Coast Secretary
for Unitarian organizations, will give an address on
Unitarianism in the light of its first hundred years of
history in England and America, at the Unitarian
church Sunday morning.
What Modernism is now, Unitarianism was a cen
tury ago. Its history indicates the trend of evolution
which Modernism in the various churches must follow.
Mr. Wetherell knows his subject. Several years
ago he gave a successful teaching career to help or
ganize the Unitariaij. Laymen’s League. For the last
three years he has been head of all the Unitarian or
ganizations on the coast.

SENTIMENT
OF UNREST
GROWS
0 BAR’S TOO POPULAR
There has been a great deal of
hostile sentiment during the last
few weeks on the part of many of
the fraternities of the campus. This
caustic attitude is directed toward
Obak’s Lodge, as may be gathered
by speaking to any manager of
Greek letter houses.
The big complaint comes from
the fact that the boys are neglect
ing to come to meals at the houses,
many of them even withdrawing
their meal tickets and transferring
them to the big white counter.
“The boys get so interested in
their pool tournaments that they
neglect the sacred noon hour,” ex
plained Bud Pearson, manager of
the Kappa Sigs. “Yesterday, over
half the gang were missing at din
ner, and were found to be, all en
joying themselves, at Obak’s.
Jerry Crary, manager of the Bach
elordon’s, has the following state
ment to make: “I can see nothing
but doom for the fraternal organi
zations of the campus unless Obak’s
is suppressed. Our men nearly all
eat at the place amd many insist on
rooming there.”
Kollege
OLLUM
We notice that the Thetas have
just received some new green rugs
from Meier and Frank’s. Well, us
fellows at Obak’s would sure like
a chance to wipe our feet on them.
The Theta’s fixin’s—new concert

making the new house shine.

Obak’s campus reporter went to
the battle Thursday. The man who
sat next to him is going to sue the
company for a new suit—it was
tom something fierce. But, just
watch our gang go tonight; if they
don’t win at Corvallis, said news
hound is going to spend a hungry
week.

We were surprised at all the lat
ent ability displayod last Wednes
day by Messrs. Jones, Mautz and
Leake. It is wonderful jwhat a
little talent, and a few odds and
ends can do. The whole gang at
Obak’s bought their Christmas
presents for their girls—those um
brellas for 25 cents were a bargain.
• * •
If the weather continues as fair
as it has been, the gang at Obak’s
are going to throw their annual pic
nic. We have been dickering with
the Tri Delts, Alpha Phis, and the
Delta Gammas, but as yet we
haven’t had any luck.
