THE WOMAN of ANDROS

$3.50

Mr. Wilder's new book surpasses both "The Cabala" and "The Bridge of San Luis Rey." Fine though their workmanship was, neither of these had its unbroken unity, or the beautiful logic of its unfolding: The Woman of Andros” is ʼn story of mystical.content. The style is more disciplined, a tride more grave than the writer's earlier books, and that la fiting, for the story would suffer by any other treatment. It has at the same time a stronger infusion of poetry, a more subtle rhythm in its structure. The Woman of Andros" is based on the "Andria" of Terence, and the action takes place on one of the irlanda of Greece, which the writer named Brynos "The Woman of Andros** is the best book we have had from Thornton Wilder. It could only have been written by a consummate literary artist, and it has the implicity of great art, and may well be called sublime literary

achievement.

“JOURNEY'S END" as a Novel

Thousands who have seen "Journey's End " na a play in Hong Kong will want to know how it turns out as a novel. Mr. B. C. Sheriff has bad Mr. Vernon Bartlett (author of "No Man's Land") as collaborator and it was to be expected that two such author would make a good job of the transformation. They have; the novel is good, and would. have received high praise even if there have been no play. Those who have heard Journey's End" will not be disappointed when they become readers.

It is gentler than many war-books.
