Curie is a great believer in the future of Russia and the Slavs in general, nor has the war and what came after it upset his belief, as he explains in a note inserted at the end of post-wa- r his Russian chapter, written (like the rest of his book) before the war.

The Irish temperament is cleverly contrasted with the English in this very long story about an Irish girl whose rather frivolous exterior and flirtatious tendencies were merely unimportant froth upon the. surface of a steadfast character and principles of what she considered right and wrong in human conduct. The action is supposed to take place since the end of the world war, and the course of the story, the people in it and their viewpoints make a curious commentary upon what' that flaming conflict failed to do to human nature. It is not so long, even if the time be counted by months, or even weeks, since the people of the British Isles, no less than the rest of the world, liftthought themselves to have been ed by their fervor and their sacrifices to a higher plane of thought and feelof the ing, to a clearer understanding rock-ribbe- d Greenwich Village Theatre company ' and production with James Watts, Ted half-shyl- y, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiumiiii e Lewis, Jazz King; Al Herman, Sylvia Jason, Verna Gordon, Hickey Brothers, and the 20 famous artists models.
