Sawyer, browsing room librarian, has consented to review books of current interest that are contained in the browsing room collections. Her reviews will appear from time to time.) By ETHEL R. SAWYER The browsing room is featuring certain books that should be called to mind as we approach the celebration of another Armistice day. After all there are less expensive ways to get a holiday than by means ox a worm war, ana sometimes the fun anil excitement of martial cele bration confuses our memories as to what all the shouting is for. In time of peace let's prepare against war. Why are long novels' so popular again? Hervcy Allan says it is because people have more leisure and “are not as busy as they like to think.” It's a good thing for Mr. Allen that leisure days have come again. His "Anthony Adverse" numbered some 900,000 words, you remem ber. Then there is "And So—Victoria” and “Gone With the Wind," Evelyn Scott's “The Wave,” Santayana’s “Last Puritan,” “Northwest Pas sage” by Kenneth Roberts, “Three Brothers" by Oskisson and Mrs. Buck's trilogy. Somebody must have leisure and be enjoying it too. Here is a book that H. G. Wells says “should be read by every in telligent youth from 15 to 90 who is trying to get the hang of things in this universe.” It is “Mathe matics For The Million" by Lance-; lot Hogner. Publishers' notes say that it has been reported as out selling all fiction and other non fiction. And here’s another prize winner! You who are "Jeeves" fans will be glad to know that his creator, P. G. W’odehouse, has been honored with the annual gold medai of the Inter national Mark Twain society. It is easy enough to understand how Wodohouse came to be associated with a Mark Twain medal—but it can’t be a purely humorous link that unites some of the other 13 recipients — Mussolini, Marconi, Pershing, Chief Justice Hughes, Kipling, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and President Roosevelt or is it? Isabel Patterson says “Mr. Wodehouse is undoubtedly the greatest living authority on baro nets in both fact and fiction.” 1 hose who saw the moving pic ture version of “Stage Door" might be interested to read the (Original stage play as written by George Kaufman and Edna Ferber. Students of Hollywood technique ■an find here a very pretty example sf how plays are revamped and sven “leads” are rewritten to fit •he character roles “typed” by eer .ain successful screen favorites.
