When Dancer Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis chose separate ways three years ago, there ended a record partnership which even the fluttering world of the dance thought never to see dissolved. They had married 18 years before, when Ted Shawn had scarcely forsaken his plan to become a Methodist minister. When they separated the famed Denishawn School went out of existence.

...Shawn O'Phelan, as even those who know no Irish may pronounce Sean OTaolain's Gaelic name, is a new star in Erin's sky. Known to only a few U. S. readers by a book of short stories (Midsummer Night Madness), he should soon, if A Nest of Simple Folk gets the audience it deserves, be visible throughout at least one hemisphere. This big novel of classic Irish types is set firmly in the oldfashioned, solid novel tradition, earmarked neither by the violent realism nor the violent mysticism of modern Ireland's civil...
