_No answer. Dada is heard to resume his climb._ Oh, if I could only sleep till six o’clock! _The storm has blown away, and the sun is out and streaming in the window, washing the ragged carpet with light. From the street there comes once again, faint now and far away, the mellow note of the postman’s whistle._ CHARLOTTE [_lifting her arms rapturously_]. The best postman in the world! CURTAIN * * * * * _By F. Scott Fitzgerald_ The Beautiful and Damned “‘The Beautiful and Damned’ confirms the impression made by his first novel, ‘This Side of Paradise,’ that of the younger American novelists he has the greatest natural talent. He has romance and imagination and a gaiety unknown to most of the young moderns, who on the whole take a sorry view of life; he is not darkly and deeply engaged with the sacred mysteries of Eros; he has apparently a great facility in writing, and often beauty and felicity of expression. But, above all, he is able to tell a story, and does not need to resort to the strange substitutes that often pass for fiction-writing nowadays.” --N. P. DAWSON in the _New York Globe_. “No finer study of the relations between boy husband and girl wife has been given us in American fiction.” --HENRY SEIDEL CANBY in the _Literary Review_, _N. Y. Evening Post_. This Side of Paradise “A very enlivening book, indeed; a book really brilliant and glamorous, making as agreeable reading as could be asked.”--_New York Evening Post._ “The glorious spirit of abounding youth glows throughout this fascinating tale.... It could have been written only by an artist who knows how to balance his values, plus a delightful literary style.”--_New York Times._ “It is abundantly worth while; it is delightful, consciously and unconsciously, amusing, keenly and diversely interesting; cracking good stuff to read, in short.” --_New York Sun._ CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS * * * * * _By F.
