Let Carletto Dream His Love Songs for You in Villa’s “Unbidden Guest”
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. CARLETTO generally was In love. The woman was not always present, as Carletto loved more than woman —he loved the Alps, his ‘ltaly and then his adopted America, his field, lakes and the harvest time 'in Italy, his mental freedom and above all his romance. Carletto found beauty tucked away In the winds, pages of history, in Greek poetry, In the river, in fine buildings, In the simple life, mountainous Italy, and In his own dreams. You meet Carletto In “The Unbidden Guest,” by Silvio Villa, anew

Macmillan Company publication. He la an unusual character, as he opens the pages of Ualian history hy connecting char .cters of today with the shadows of the past. “The Unbidden Guest” is not a novel Jn the accepted term, hut rattier a series of romantic experiences or Carletto, an Italian of big dreams, who leaves his native land to come to America. Carletto at first, round it a difficult task to shake oft the romantic dust from his dreams and adjust himself to America. I am glad that Carletto did not give up his dream while making a financial success in this country, but I am happy in the thought that a dreamer can be a commercial success here. Manj- Objects of His Romances Are Introduced Carletto, early in life, found much to love in his native land. The first ■"love” was Bianca Maria, a sort of a servant in the home of his mother. It was not a love affair in the cheap sense of the term, but rather -an episode of service. Bianca Maria planted the seed of rqmantic dreams in the soul of Carletto. He never kissed Bianca, but the influences of her tender love for Carletto made its possible for him to dream of old Italian Influences. There is great beauty in human service and Bianca Maria was a sort of an uncrowned queen. Carlotto’s best impression of Blanca was when nhe was dead.

Weekly Book Review
Carletto, tells of Bianca In death as follows: “You were all white, I remember, when you lay dead with your arms folded on your chest, all white but for the crown of brown hair about your face. I looked at you, standing on tiptoe. Your virgin face tore some marks of fatigue, slight blue shadows were under your eyee, a narrow thin line ran across your forehead. You appeared so you, atill so grave! “I had then a confused revelation ©f the sacrifice you had more for us . . This Is one of the real beauties of Oarletto—he always seems to be talking to the beloved characters of his experiences in life, real and imaginary, as if the reader was not present. Regindla Made Possible „ a Splendid Romantic Experience Reglnelia D’Oro was the sort of a girl who invited romance. She was a marvelous mental companion. Sho caused Carletto to find new beauties in life and to know the value of real, true companionable love.

Florida—this little village seven miles from a railroad, located in northeastern Missouri where Twain was born and where he spent many of his boyhood days—is to be Its location. Once a thriving river town on the upper Mississippi, Florida has degenerated into a little country village of some five hundred souls—due to the coming of the railroads. But with it all Florida swells with pride over the conspicuous place it occupies In history. An air of ro-
As usual, Carletto ran away from the objects of his love. He did not want to give up his mental freedom. Even the marvelous physical and mental beauty of Reginella could not persuade Carletto to bind her to him by a promise. She would have waited, but Carletto’s dreams would not give him up. There Is much sad beauty revealed lln the love affairs of Carletto. He loved life, man, beast and the Idea of religion but just when you think he has found the great love—well, he just runs away. But Carletto did not run away from hi* duty during the world war. He was no hero In the Italian army. He tells you truthfully what a small part he played In the war and at the same time he tells In one marvelous chapter the tragedy of a hero bf the name Claudio Grazianl. Here Is real dramatic writing with the same tremendous punch that one finds in “Anna Christie” and “The Hairy Ape.” I found “The Unbidden Guest” worth while. Read It.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
mance pervades the township and its outlying territory. Credit for starting the movement must be divided among four persons —M. A. (Dad) Violet, owner of the home In which Twain was born; Frank B. Lamson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Boberly, Mo.; H. J. Blanton, publisher of the Monroe County Appeal at Paris, Mo., and Lamson’s 12-year-old daughter, Ruth. More than 5.000 tourists from every State In the Union visited the home during 1922. Ruth Lamson was one of them. She interested her father in the home. He Immediately got In touch with Editor Blanton at Paris, and “Dad” Violet. Violet told of having refused $3,000 from persons who wished to purchase the Twain home for mercenary reasons. He offered to donate the home and an appreciable amount of property as a location for the park if the State of Missouri would Improve It and guarantee the upkeep. Then and there the nucleus of the Mark Twain Memorial Park Association was formed. Blanton became president and Lamson secretary. Present plans of the association are to raise $20,000 for the purchase of 100 acres of land adjoining Florida at the two forks of Salt River, besides the land offered by Violet. This property will overlook the “swlinmln’ hole” and other landmarks made famous by Twain In his various literary works. The week of Sept. 15 to 28 has been chosen for a national campaign to obtain funds. Mall Carrier'* Coat Taken A mall carrier's sl2 coat was stolen from the eautomoblle of William T.

Crisp Tells How Memories Are Revived on Screen
By JACK JUNGMEYER Hollywood, cai., July 25. "Queer how familiar objects nag old memories; that old cape cart, now, which we’re using on this set —” Donald Crisp, movie director and producer for Sam Rork, filming Cynthia Stockley’s "Ponjola,” shifted his pith helmet and leaned against the kraal fence. Heat waves danced from the compound. Players lounged In a shaded veranda, sipping sodas. A black boy dozed. There was a lull in the shooting. On the flagstaff the British “jack” swayed Indolently, for this was the town of Wankelo, by the magic of Crisp’s directorial hand. Africa —where Crisp had uisted Boer lead as captain of the crack 10th Hussars during three/ years’ active service in the British army. “That old cape cart, now—” he reflected. “Cart —the Transvaal—the crack of bull whips and rifles—bugles wailing on a lonely velt. “Makes me think of JTugela Heights, where the intrenched Boers had done for 3,800 of ours, a slaughter. Carey Roberts, son of Field Marshal Lord Roberts, had Just come in mortally wounded; eleven shots In him; asking to speak to us. ‘Lizzie,’ we called him affectionately, because he had seemed so effeminate when he came; a blonde, frail youngster. In Which There Is Much English Talk “ ‘I just want to tell you before I go,* he Bald, 'how topping you’ve all been to me, and I hope you’ve forgiven me my many idiosyncrasies—perfectly topping, all of you’—and he was gone. The rest of us, those who were left, standing there, badly smashed, getting used to death on a lonely velt.” A moment for shift of memory. A tinkling glass on the veranda, and a black boy snoring In the sun.

“This set we’ve built—like another kraal I know. A young Hussar reflecting his homesickness on a field melodeon. Night, campfire and beyond the glow a Boer spy, sentenced to be shot at dawn, quietly digging his own grave. That finished, he moved over to the British soldier and said something. Then he began to sing to the boy’s accompaniment—a big, solemn, bearded fellow chanting In rich baritone that old familiar hymn, ‘What a Friend We Have In Jesus.’ You know how It goes—‘Can you find a Friend so faithful.’ and so on? Well —there we sobbed like a lot of babies, while the Boer addressed himself to his God and the coming dawn — “Queer what an old cape cart can make one think of," said Crisp, a bit apologetically, as an assistant director’s call brought him back to Hollywood and the job in hand. Now You Feel Quite Acquainted With Crisp Unless I’ve missed fire, I have here given a better impression of Donald Crisp, soldier, diplomat, adventurer, motion picture actov and director, than I could have In a thousand word* based on more formal encounter. In "Ponjola” he’s picturing the African life with which he Is thoroughly familiar. Eight service decorations for colonial campaigning attest one phase of that familiarity. He has the background for sympathetic handling of the Stockley novel. Crisp, * 40, seasoned, sun-baked and tolerant from much adventure, entered pictures twelve years ago with D. W. Griffith, for whom he staged most of the battle scenes In “The Birth of a Nation,” and under wbora, in "Broken Blossoms” he did that memorable performance of “Battling Burrows, the pride of. who beats the heroin© $ (math.
