...village of New Hampshire, Ohio, the Rev. Ray Dotson, "Holy Roller" Methodist, so wailed and shrieked, so frothed and grovelled, that he got Fred Conrad, a 200-lb. traction worker, all worked up. Fred Conrad went home to "save" his father. The father protested. So 200-lb. Fred Conrad went on a fast. He would, he cried, fast for 40 days and nights "like Jesus did." He would save every soul in New Hampshire...
Last week Fred Conrad had shrunk to 140 Ibs. His father, still impenitent, but quite alarmed, made Holy Roller Dotson explain that even fasting can be overdone. Reluctantly Fred Conrad swallowed some beef broth...
...Redeeming Sin (Warner) is good comedy. That it was intended as a serious picture did not keep tolerant first-night audiences from chuckling happily at a cast of Parisian underworldlings who talk in the manner of the English nobility-rat Dolores Costello demanding "the jewels"; at Conrad Nagel who, told that his sweetheart has married in his absence, exclaims: "Then I'm too late!"; at a sister shaking a dying boy to bring him back to life; at the Hollywood conception of a Paris sewer; at a supposedly French priest reciting the Lord's Prayer with an Irish...

...prose it is even easier Hardy, of course, would begin, and we might follow him with Doughty (also in line for his poetry) Conrad, and W. H. Hudson. Bear in mind that these are popular and "sell" and also that they are "classics"--beyond a human doubt. De Morgan is your modern Dickens and in place of Charles Lamb there is Max Beerbohm and a worthy modern equivalent he is. Follow him with James Stephens, possibly Machen, and Aldous Huxley. Hudson leads us to Cunninghame, Graham, and Shaw. For Jane Austen we shall have (let us hope) David Garnett...
