    from the pen of Edna Ferber willoften 'tickle the reader's funny, bone,occasionally ' twang his heart-strin- g;and with pleasant rarity disturb hisconscience or set off his cerebral (apparatus. Edna Ferber writes aboutthe same kind of people In the samesort of settings that have- - providedtnemes for the more philosophical nar-ratives of Sinclair Lewis 'and Sher-wood 'Anderson, but she blinks acharitable eye at the; shortcomingsand ' blemishes that have, fascinatedthose gentlemen. She does ' not flat- -,ter. , Her smile often makes onesquirm. The point to her Joke is fre-quently a sharp one. Tou cannot saythat her Interpretation is less true tollfe-th- an that, of "Matn St'e" :.."The Triumph of tfie"gg.V' Xt.ls sim-ply another view of a slice of Ameri-can existence- - which "can be viewedfrom a good many different angles.And ner view happens to be a fairlypleasant and very entertaining one. , "

    Most of the stories in this collectionhave to do with Chicago. - Hyde Park;Englewood. . Michigan avenue, EUlisavenue-j-the- lr flats, hotels and parksprovide - homely . Ferberesque scenes.But New York, Winnebago, Hollywood.Honolulu and Okoochee. all come in

    We suspect 'that with- - such 'a themeand such actors this romance has ar-rived Just about 6 years --too late tobecome extensively f popular, Thatmay be r more of a comment on thereaders than upon the novel, but Inany case it Is certain that the doingsof kings and ,queens.trof princes ai2acounts, are not as. appealing to popuiar sympathies as' 'they were a quarter of a century - ago. ," Nevertheless.the story of Alexander 1 is : excellentdramatic material which has been reilhandled in this noveL The story, hasbeen given a particularly strong climxthat unleashes the Imagination.

    They would be required to ob-serve every- - individual that comethere way. In many cases it wouldbe evident that the party observedwas O. K. and fulfilling the law,
