n writers to choose to tell
his stories in verse. Helston, Masefield, and other Europeans have
been doing it with marked success, but hitherto this country has
had no notable representative in this line of endeavor. Though Mr.
Aiken has been writing for a number of years, _Earth Triumphant and
Other Tales in Verse_ is his first published book. In it are
contained, in addition to the several narratives of modern life, a
number of shorter lyrics. It is a volume distinguished by
originality and power.
Van Zorn: A Comedy in Three Acts
BY EDWIN A. ROBINSON
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net_
This play makes delightful reading and introduces in the person of
its author a playwright of considerable promise. Mr. Robinson tells
an interesting story, one which by a clever arrangement of incident
and skillful characterization arouses strongly the reader's
curiosity and keeps it unsatisfied to the end. The dialogue is
bright and the construction of the plot shows the work of one well
versed in the technique of the drama.
