...SHALLOW END-Major Ian Hay Beith-Houghton, Mifflin ($3.00). This book is dedicated to "the average British crowd"-God bless its sensible heart! Stimulated by the thought that "the shallow end is often much deeper than we think," the gallant Major considers, among other trivia: Midnight Revels (at home and abroad), Legal Cruelty (English courts), Universal Uncles (radiorators), A Rest Cure (English billiards), Graven Images (Madame Tussaud's famed waxworks), Royal and Antient (droll golf talk), The Springs of Laughter (Musical comedy).

They play a newly-wedded pair, have a child, a quarrel or two and finally fall foul of the "other woman." The singular individuality of Miss Hay seems to grow with her experience; Mr. Barthelmess displayed a vein of comedy which most of his previous pictures have not tapped...
Another unusual feature of the collection is a manuscript of the first proof of Lincoln's second inaugural address. It is interlined and edited, partly by the President in his own handwriting, and partly by John Hay Hon. '02, later Secretary of State, and at that time Lincoln's private secretary...
