BOOK SHOP
N the Book Shop session on Wednesday, October 3, a librarian will talk about "Some Other Bookshops." R. T.

can be brought to bear on human beings and just how far those stresses can be endured; and he has the supreme gift of creating characters vividly, roundly, earthily, solidly alive. He knows the stage, and at his best can greatly reward actors and producers, He shows the profoundest sympathy with the lost and defeated, and he sometimes wrings a boozy poetry from the tough, weatherbeaten, bruised creatures who people his plays. His pretensions are sometimes rocketing, and his experimenting clumsy and grotesque, but no one can say that he ever limited the size of his stage. For all his faults, he had scale and size and the dimensions of greatness, for which in an age of little men, we can only be grateful.
