...competent portrayer of Dutch domestic scenes (The Rebel Generation, The House of Joy), Authoress van Ammers-Küller in her latest novel gives an account of life in her native Delft early in the 20th Century.

Together Again, See How They Run, Mothers Cry (the last snapped up for the talkies by First National) were immediate successes. The scholarly weight of historical research in We Begin acts as a sedative to her emotionally...
