BRIEF SKETCHES OF THE CONTRIBUTORSCOUNTESS TOLSTOY

Countess Alexandra Tolstoy, theyoungest daughter of Count LeoTolstoy, was secretary to her f ath-,er and was with him until hisdeath. When the revolution cameshe was careful to engage in nopolitical 'activities, but she wasaccused of counter-revolutionaryplotting and sentenced to threeyears in a prison camp. In herbook,: "I Worked for the Soviet,"she describes the horrible life inthis prison, which she endured withresignation. For her fellow prison-ers, 150 in number, the Countessstarted a school, which was so suc-cessful that she was released andfurnished with money to maintainthree Tolstoy museums and to startkindergarten work. The school de-veloped into a large enterprisewith a half dozen centers and about600 pupils, but when the time camethat she was to be coerced intospreading atheistic propagandathrough the influence of her school,she left Russia and lived in Japanuntil 1931.

The sufferings of the Countessduring the revolution and her bit-ter prison experience would havebroken the spirit of an ordinaryperson, but this real Tolstoy, solike her great father, has comethrough it all with a spiritual calm-ness that enables her to speak ofconditions in Russia in so dispas-sionate a way that her audiencesare greatly, impressed. The sin-cerity and cordiality of the Count-ess inspire confidence wherever

she recounts her experiences andexpresses her opinions. She saysof her visit to Winter Park, "Afterthe way in which you have re-ceived me here, I feel that youare all my friends."

BRIEF SKETCHES(Continued from page 1)

that Miss Rittenhouse was the firstto bring to the attention of theAmerican public the new poets ofthe period. By her anthologies andby critical articles on poets in theNew York Times Book Review andthe Bookman, she was the mostpotent factor in creating an un-precedented interest in poetry inAmerica.

Miss Rittenhouse was a founderof the Poetry Society of Americaand of the Poetry Society of Flor-ida. In 1931 she was awarded abronze medal by the Poetry Societyof America for distinguished serv-ice to poetry. Mrs, Scollard, asshe is called in Winter Pai'k, fur-nishes the Foreword to "A Pageof Poets," contributed by membersof her Conference Group of Poetsin Rollins College.

MARJORIE K. RAWLINGSM'arjorie Rinnan Rawlings is the

author of the novels, "South MoonUnder" and "Golden Apples," andof many short stories that have ap-peared in The Forum, Collier's,Scribner's and the Saturday Even-ing Post. The scene in these isusually Florida and the charactersFlorida crackers.

Mrs. Rawlings served an appren-ticeship of several years on anevening paper in Rochester, N. Y.,but she now owns and runs a largeorange grove six miles from Haw-thorne, Fla,, which she says is •"way out in the sticks." It is nearthe Big Scrub so graphically de-scribed in "South Moon Under." "Iknow the Scrub intimately,", she•writes, "and have voyaged by smallboat the full length of its boun-daries," that is, the St. John's andOcklawaha Rivers. She has hunt-ed in the Big Scrub and been lostin.it, and while bear hunting re-cently she spent a night up in a"tree, but this is nothing to a vigor-ous, out-of-doors woman like Mar-jorie Kinnan Rawlings.

THEDA KENYONTheda Kenyon, poet, is the au-

thor of three volumes of verse;"Jeanne," "Witches Still Live," and"Certain Ladies." She has con-tributed short stories, novelettes,criticism, and verse to magazinesi,n the United States and England.Miss Kenyon has been instructorin poetry appreciation in Hunter

College, New York, since 1930, andhas served as secretary of thePoetry Society of America for twoterms. "Certain Ladies" includesamong others Jezebel, Elaine, andMolly Pitcher. The highest notein the volume is the following:Oindeiella, Cinderella, weave a

song—and none will guessWhat you- know too well: that all

the bravest songs are madeWith a warp of disappointment,

and a woof of barren loneliness,In the densing darkness . . . when

the singer is afraid.

NINA WILCOX PUTNAMNina Wilcox Putnam (Mrs. John

Eliot) is the author of twentybooks, published since 1912, andof innumerable stories and articlesin Collier's, Ladies Home Journal,and the Saturday Evening Post.Among the books are "Say It WithBricks," "Laughing Through,""Paris Love," "Freedom for Two."Though not yet fifty she seems tohave lived a score of lives. Borninto a wealthy family, in her teensshe was earning a living for hermother and sister as a milliner.This was the girl who, as a child,had William Dean Howells as aliterary adviser and Grover Cleve-land as a fishing companion.

Recently she helped her fourthhusband and son in the actualbuilding of a house, "Journey'sEnd," at Delray Beach, Fla. It cost$4,100, and she has had a bona fideoffer of $15,000 for the place.Anyone having cnly a little jackwith which to buy ground andbuild a house is advised to read heraccount and accounting, "TheHouse That a Very Little JackBuilt," in the Saturday EveningPost..

"A WOMAN SURGEON"By Rosalie Slaughter Morton

We have always known that thelife of a doctor is full of excite-ment, adventure, risks and hardwork, but that the life of a womansurgeon could be quite so thrill-ing as that of Rosalie SlaughterMorton, as told in her autobiog-raphy, is revelation to most of us.

The author of this book is adynamic personality. Her book isthe record of an active, useful, ad-venturous life.

Dr. Morton begins her story withher early desire to follow in thefootsteps of her medical ances-tors by becoming a doctor. Shedescribes the opposition and dis-tress of her family and friends, andher unfaltering faith in her destiny.

The amusing story of the cir-cus tickets shows her intrepidspirit. When her brother lost oneticket, and remarked at the en-trance of the big tent, "Rose, it'stoo bad, but I lost your ticket,"the little sister answered promptly,"No, you didn't, you lost yours,"and giving brother a push, Rosaliewalked through the gate. Goodfor Rosalie!

Tha difficulties this determinedyoung woman encountered in get-ting her medical training are sographically described that the read-er suffers with her, and perhapsmore than she did, because mostof us lack her courage.

As a traveler, young Dr. Slaugh-ter was keen, intelligent and re-ceptive. Her chapter on "Christ-mas in Russia" is a valuable pic-ture of the glittering Russia of thearistocracy, and the miserablesqualid Russia of the people.

We are given a delightful andrevealing description of Ibsen athome. The young doctor was in-terested in the scientific typeswhich the great author wove intohis plays. She says, "By openingmany sccial and political abcesses,he (Ibsen) cured them," and shemakes this interesting statement,"If every inhabitant of this terres-tial globe were intelligently in-formed and co-operative, all dis-ease could be obliterated from theearth, and we might begin to in-habit a Kingdom of Heaven."

The young doctor's experiencesin India are most interesting. Hercourage in studying the Bubonicplague fills us with admirationwhen we contrast her practicalmethods with Annie Besant's pas-sive acceptance of . the "gloriouswhite contentment" of the Hindu

Streamlining BringsShakespeare Off Shelf

"The streamlining of Shakes-is the sweeping away of the dustof literary discussion and gettingShakespeare off the library shelfso that he may reach the wholepeople rather than a small esotericgroup," explained Dr. Evelyn New-man in her lecture "StreamliningShakespeare for the ModernWorld."

In, motion pictures the playsthemselves may be streamlined byreducing the five acts to two andby quickening the tempo as in thebeautiful "Romeo and Juliet" underthe direction of Irving Thalburg.The producers say they have yetto show what can be done withShakespeare on the screen, and thisseems most likely, for it is a fieldin which truth is presented in itssimplest form and the subjectshave a universal appeal.

Perhaps the climax of the lifeof this woman is found in her workfor the Serbian students. It isastonishing that one woman, evenwith the help and co-operation ofgenerous friends, could accomplishso much. Through her efforts, andbecause of her generous sympathyand warm human love for thosewho needed so much, sixty youngSerbians returned to their nativeland, trained in American colleges,to become useful citizens and tohelp in building up again theirwar torn land.

The book is written in a fluent,picturesque, dashing style—evenmedical statistics are given ahuman touch. It is not only en-joyable reading—at times it isreally thrilling, but it is a won-derful record of our own time. Asone closes the book, one feels lifeis richer and fuller for havingjourneyed for a little while withso tireless, so alert, so sympa-thetic a travler for whom lifeholds infinite riches. When Dr.Morton says, "My philosophy oflife has been one of action," weknew that it is true. Her life hasbeen a great adventure.

"A Woman Surgeon" is a valu-

able addition to the list of auto-biographies which are so populartoday, and because she has a greatlife story to tell this author maywell take her place among the sig-nificant writers of America.

FRANCES HOMER PLAYS"LADIES OF DESTINY"

Queen Isabella, Nell Gwynn,Lady Hamilton, Mary Fitton, andJosephine Bonaparte are the "La-dies of Destiny" whom Miss Fran-ces Homer will present in her pro-gram Tuesday evening, Feb. 23, at8:15 in the Annie Ruessell Theatre.Colorfully dramatized and vividlyportrayed, Miss Homer, celebratedmonologist, offers smart biogra-phical theatre in her characteriza-tions of famous women in historywho have influenced men and theirdestinies.

Miss Homer has been in the the-atre since she was 15. She gainedher apprentice knowledge of thetheatre on the legitimate stage,appearing in plays by EugeneO'Neill and Booth Tarkington.Added to this were several seasonsin Shakesperian repertoire.

Dr. Chalmers, speaking this eekon the Supreme Court, pointed outthat in this dispute little resis-tance will come from the Demo-cratic Congress; therefore resis-tance must come from outside.The only system of brakes to limitthe power of the executive is theSupreme Court. If a young manis appointed to neutralize the opin-ion of each older judge," thunderedthe speaker, "this means one-manrule. If this comes now, one daythere will be a red-fisted tyrantsitting in the White House."

LECTURERS DIVIDEON SUPREME COURT

Wherever people are gatheredthese days, whether at tea, din-ner, or club, they soon form intotwo camps—for or against Presi-dent Roosevelt's proposed changein the Supreme Court. On the lec-ture platform it is the same.

In a discussion of Canadian-American relations last week JohnMartin went afield to say that themost extreme results that couldtake place under the proposedchanges in the judiciary wouldbear no comparison to the powerresiding in the government and inthe lawmaking bodies of Canada.If the President were to appointnew members of the SupremeCourt, it is assumed that he wouldtry to select such liberals as thelate Justice Holmes, the most bril-liant and the most liberal man on

THORNTON WILDER ADYNAMIC LECTURER

"The Relation of Literature andLife," a lecture joyous and erudite,shot through with humor, trans-ported into the realm of the imagi-nation a large audience at theAnnie Russell Theater Friday oflast week. The miracle worker,Thornton Wilder, the author of"San Luis Rey."

"Every writer," said Mr. Wilder,"is a human being who leads adaily, daily, daily life—evenShakespeare did not lead a blankverse existence." But it is fromthis life that the genius selectsthe stuff of poetry, drama, novel.

Poetry: every moment to thepoet is a prolonged crisis; his workreveals the continuity and the unityof life. Great poems are balls offire, and their central thoughts be-come law, even though long after.

Drama: the drama presents theNOW. We see the characters liv-ing at this moment. But it isthrough the actor that the dra-matist must reach us. And here

Mr. Wilder spoke of the actor'sability to portray all the play ofemotion, of Sir Henry Irving, Elea-nora Duse, Helen Hayes.

Novel: the novel presents thePAST. Its author tells us what isgoing on in the minds of others;he controls their destinies. Whenwe begin a novel we have. no ideaof the world we are about to enter,as Mr. Wilder showed by rapidlyrepeating from memory the open-ing sentences of one novel afteranother.

Writers create artificial atmos-pheres in great scenes, for theymust make use of the technicalconveyances of reality. "The melo-dramatic scenes of Shakespeare'stragedies are more true to life thanlife itself, because it is by thismeans that the inner life is shownto reveal greater truth than ourdaily existence."

After word: In answer to aquestion in regard to GertrudeStein, Mr. Wilder told of her say-ing to Irving Thalburg and otherproducers at a Hollywood dinner,"The trouble with moving pictures

is that the audiences see on thescreen only symbols.. They do notidentify themselves with the lifeand thoughts of the actors, andtherefore they do not rememberthe picture." Whereupon CharlieChaplin said to the producers,"That is just what I have beentelling you for eight years."

ANDRE SMITH SCORESOUR REVIEW OF PLAY

Dear Editor:Your reference in your last is-

sue to my interest in stream-liningand air-conditioning the artsaround here, hardly applies to whattook place last week in the AnnieRussell Theater. I was, however,greatly interested in your smootharticle, "Impressions of the Baron'sPlay" in which you applied the sys-tem of praising the frame andignoring as far as possible the pic-ture. It struck me as being a verygood example of the mercifully-charitable school of criticism thatis, so typical of Winter Park's old-home-week attitude towards thearts and out of which can issue only-more and more half-baked ama-teur efforts, sweetly and patron-izingly applauded.

This spirit of Live-and-let-liveis deadly when applied to the Arts.If a man -writes a play, paints, apicture,' sings a song, exudes apoem or even toots a trombone furpublic entertainment, he steps outfrom the shelter of. his ivory tur-ret and deliberately exposes him-self to public judgment. I em-phasize the word public, in orderto. distinguish it .from the charita-ble institutions of proud uncles andaunts that characterize our home-circle school of forgiveness in theway of Winter Park's audiences,and which is holding Winter Park'screative accomplishment down 'tothe nursery level.

Your sweetly, lukewarm andgoodwill review of Paul d'Estour-nelle's long-winded and undramat-ic effort through which, most ofus sat in various degrees of agon-ized boredom, will certainly do theai't of playwriting no good, norsave us from similar unfinishedtryouts. Art thrives best through

challenge and battle, and yourpolicy of sweetness-and-light andain't-Willie-cute will do creative ef-forts around here no good at all.We must either keep on kiddingourselves that we are a culturfulbunch of amazing geniuses per-forming miracles of creative per-fection, or let down our encirclingwalls of radiant illusion, stand outin the open and have the courageand good sense to tell and hearthe truth about our offerings.

By all means, Mr. Editor, keepon exercising your pretty praiseson the activities of the sewing cir-cles, garden clubs and -welfaremovements. But when you dealwith the creative arts may I sug-gest that you peel off your partymanners, roll up your sleeves andsay something useful?

Art gets nowhere at all on per-fumed flattery.
