The Red Star of Samarkand, by
Anna Louise Strong. Reviewed
by Victor Doling.
' The red star that beslns to shine
on Samarkand cants not a glow of
misery and despotism on that land
of Central Asia, but rather, Indeed,
a healthful beam of modernism and
democracy. This phenomenon has
been described by a clever observ

The red star, of course. Is the

The great struggle for women's

Throughout the stury there Is
between the strnngo pair n vein of
masculine friendship which mani
fests Itself In beer partlei, and
poker games.
The story is crude If ono Is easily
offended. The talk und action are
unvarnished and the bnck-stago
scenes of the big fight ure coarse.
Yet their apparent realism saves
them from gratuitous dlsahleo
