Wood's Woman With Plants (see cut, p. 57) was picked by both Craven and Boswell. Because it confines itself by its title, Modern American Painting, in its color reproductions, gives a vivid and telescopic view of the changing U. S. from 1738 to 1939. Biographies of the 68 artists whose work is reproduced help make this book the most complete and authoritative record of the American School...
...previous novels, The Asiatics and The Seven Who Fled, Frederic Prokosch has shown a facile imagination and a brilliant hand at silken, vivid prose. Ostensibly a narrative of travel from Syria to China, The Asiatics told of hair-raising adventures, lubriciously glamorous encounters, incredible coincidences and cosmic conversations with the casual air of an article in the National Geographic.

The suspense, life-blood of the play, was well carried out and combined with a high quality of acting and vivid sets, to finish off the show, like the Emperor himself, in fine fashion. There were times, however, when the pace lagged and might have been quickened up to heighten the suspense. Frank Silveram, who, by necessity of script, practically put on a one-man show, got plenty of oomph into the part, though occasionally overacting it. The real laurels...
