Literature, Modern -- 20th century -- Periodicals
The Women We Marry, by Arthur Stanwood Pier. [The Century Company, New
York.] One of the most amateurish attempts to meet the modern demand for
sex stories that we have seen.
A Child of the Orient, by Demetra Vaka. [Houghton Mifflin Company, New
York.] A blend of Greek poetry and Turkish conquest and American
progress in autobiographical form, by the Greek woman who wrote
Haremlik.
Anybody but Anne, by Carolyn Wells. [J. B. Lippincott Company,
Philadelphia.] A mystery story of which the most fascinating feature is
the architect's plan of the house in which it takes place.
The Flower-Finder, by George Lincoln Walton; with frontispiece by W. H.
Stedman and photographs by Henry Troth. [J. B. Lippincott Company,
Philadelphia.] Worth owning if merely for the end-papers which literally
lead you into a spring woods. A comprehensive pocket guide to wild
flowers.
Prisons and Prisoners: Personal Experiences of Constance Lytton and Jane
Warton, Spinster. [George H. Doran Company, New York.] As Lady Lytton,
an enthusiastic convert to militant suffrage, the author received
courteous treatment in prison; disguised successfully as a middle-class
old maid she was handled shamefully. Everyone who doubts the martyrdom
or the intrepidity of the suffragettes ought to read this record.
Women as World Builders, by Floyd Dell. [Forbes and Company, Chicago.]
Birdseye views of the feminist movement by a literary aviator whose
cleverly-composed snapshots actually justify his cocksure audacity.
Women and Morality, by a mother, a father, and a woman. [The Laurentian
Publishers, Chicago.] Men and immorality discussed bravely by two women
and a man, without the artistic justification of "getting anywhere."
Karen Borneman and Lynggaard & Co., by Hjalmar Bergström, translated
from the Danish by Edwin Björkman; The Gods of the Mountain, The Golden
Doom, King Argimenes and the Unknown Warrior, The Glittering Gate, and
The Lost Silk Hat, by Lord Dunsany; Peer Gynt, by Henrik Ibsen, with
introduction by R. Ellis Roberts. [Mitchell Kennerley, New York.] New
volumes in The Modern Drama Series.
What Is It All About? A Sketch of the New Movement in the Theatre, by
Henry Blackman Sell. [The Laurentian Publishers, Chicago.] The "art
theatre" is explained illuminatingly for those who are vague about the
movement. Condensed, to the point, and really informing.
The Beginning of Grand Opera in Chicago (1850-1859), by Karleton
Hackett. [The Laurentian Publishers, Chicago.] Mr. Hackett is a man of
ideas and he might have written an interesting book by taking "grand
opera in Chicago" as his theme. Instead, he has done a hack job with its
early history and been given the distinction of tasteful binding and
printing.
