...Calvert Smith's "The Theme of the Christmas Story," is ingenious in idea but clumsy in execution. Mr. Smith has never done anything quite so good as his story of the Missing Link. That conception is much too fertile to be exhausted in one episode. It affords a rich opportunity for satirizing the speculations of scientists; and what man of letters does not love to bait a scientist, especially when the latter blunders into the realm of imagination? Let therefore the Missing Link's dinosaur sneeze again, and project his master into new adventures...

...perspiration and profanity and filth. Mr. Petersen's leading character has nothing distinctive about him, excepting an odor like a New England barnyard after an April shower." This sentence is more suited to a report of the Sewer Commission than to a work of literary art. Even Mr. Calvert Smith's "Nueva Andalucia," a gracefully written and brilliantly colored--though uneven--story of South America, shows a similar tendency toward the odoriferous. and in "Nueva Andalucia" the good red blood is not content with remaining red; it blackens before our eyes, while the banana skins rot in the middle distance...
