By THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Here is Colonel Roosevelt’s own vivid narrative of his
explorations in South America; his adventures on the famous
“River of Doubt,” his visits to remote tribes of naked and wholly
barbarous Indians, his 500-mile journey on mule-back across the
height of the land between the river systems of Paraguay and the
Amazon, his observations on the most brilliant and varied bird
life of the South American tropics; hunting of the jaguar, the
tapir, the peccary, the giant ant-eater, and other unusual
animals of the jungle; all of this varied panorama is depicted in
the author’s most graphic and picturesque style, full of the joy
of new adventures. The book is a permanent addition to the
literature of exploration.
_Profusely illustrated. $3.50 net; postage extra._
Half Hours
_By_ J. M. BARRIE
From the delightful, romantic fantasy of “Pantaloon” to the
present-day realism of “The Twelve Pound Look,” represents the
wide scope of Mr. Barrie’s dramatic work. All four of the plays
in this volume, though their subjects are quite diverse, are
beautifully suggestive of Barrie at his best with all his keenest
humor, brightest spontaneity, and deepest insight.
_“Pantaloon,” “The Twelve Pound Look,” “Rosalind” and “The
Will.” $1.25 net; postage extra._
HENRY VAN DYKE
has written a new volume of poems:
The Grand Canyon
And Other Poems
This collection of Dr. van Dyke’s recent verse takes its title
from that impressive description of the Grand Canyon of Arizona
at daybreak, which stands among the most beautiful of Dr. van
Dyke’s poems. The rest of the collection is characterized by
those rare qualities that, as _The Outlook_ has said, have
enabled the author “to win the suffrage of the few as well as the
applause of the many.”

Robert Frank
By SIGURD IBSEN
Henry Ibsen’s only son is the author of this drama, which William
Archer, the distinguished English critic, considers convincing
proof that he possesses “dramatic faculty in abundance.” Mr.
Archer defines it as “a powerful and interesting play which
claims attention on its own merits,” “eminently a play of today,
or, rather, perhaps, of tomorrow.”
