‘BE YOURSELF' THFMF of book BY BREITIGAM ‘Dare to Live’ Offers Credo for Full Life to Mr. Average Citizen. BY DOUGLAS GILBERT Ttmra Special Writer Movie goers, patrons of restaurants, those who weary of the landlord's dunning—in short. Mr. John Average Citizen, his missus and children, are offered, and maybe for the first time, a credo for a full life in Gerald Breitigams "Dare to Live." published this week by the Falcon Press. The root of Mr. Breitigam s philosophy. which gives the plain man a break, is the simple admonition—“Be yourself.” The trick of making its exposition so simple and engaging. so informative and personal, is his felicity in basing his arguments upon the lives of living people who are well known—but unnamed. Guessing Who’s Who Asa matter of fact, so adroit is this handling, the book might well become a parlor game . . . “‘Who," asks your host, "is Ellis,’ the theatrical producer on Page 57?” . . . •’Cameron,” the private banker? . . . The manufacturer who exploited his holidays and playtimes, not for the joy of the game, but the joy of the gain? Winch is a fairish slogan for Mr. Breitigams book, for out of gam he makes a game—a game of personality and individualism versus mass identification and mob rule. And m developing this observation Mr. Breitigam corns anew word—“virtuism" —which he defines as: "The virtuist is he who supports the mob virtues and dams all who do not. Whatever his parlor manners, the virtuist lacks the spirit of the true gentleman, of the enlightened individualist who has a streak of altruism in that he has a decent regard for the interests of his fellow individualists.’’ Individual vs. Mob. Having little truck for those who travel with the pack, allowing their individualities to become virtually nonexistent m their yielding to onesyllable exploiters, Mr. Breitigam counsels as follows: "In considering whether you will go against mass prejudices and fulfil your individualism —that individualism toward which you lean — consider the world of today. It is a world, here in America, in which individuals have subordinated themselves to the mass social code. "With what result?” the author asks. "By joining in great collections of people, these individuals have created something infinitely less than themselves. They have evolved mobs. These moos are swayed by emotionalism, not by reason They obey more and more primitive impulses. "It follows naturally that the individuals come, no matter how reluctantly, to accept manners of thought and action which are below their proper levels; that is, below the levels to which they are capable of attaining.” As Mr. Breitigam resolves his theory' of life, it all gets back to — ‘‘Be yourself.” This is what he means by his title —"Dare to Live." The book abounds in human relationships and personalities as reflected in the author’s own life. A newspaper man for many years who has served in city rooms as editor and writer from coast to coast; active in the theater and an “eyewitness” and participant in the Florida boom. Mr. Breitigam. who incidentally is feature editor of the New York World-Telegram, himself has led a full life. From it he has evolved his book.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ROCKWELL KENT TO LECTURE AT ARTJNSTITUTE Most Colorful of PresentDay Artists, Says Herron Chief. Rockwell Kent, speaker on the Town Hall series tomorrow, is characterized as the most colorful of the present-day artists by Wilbur Peat, director of John Herron Art institute. “It is impossible to say that one artist is greater than another, but there is no hesitation from any authority in giving this distinction to Mr. Kent.” Mr. Peat says. “Much of his work has been done in the most out-of-the-way places. It is introspective, and like the art of the old great masters, is much more than ‘pretty pictures.’ Mr. Kent expresses in his art the philosophy which he believes. He has done much of his work in Alaska. Labrador, Newfoundland and the Straits of Magellaln. Because he deals with such massive subjects, he has eliminated all detail. Technically, his work is excellent, and he shows a great mastery of the medium in which he works.” No less interest is shown in Mr. Kent’s literary works, of which there are three outstanding examples, than in his paintings. His "Wilderness,” “Voyaging” and “North by East” are autobiographical sketches of his travels. Mr. Kent is known as the illustrator of “Moby Dick,” the original illustrations of which were shown last year at the John Herron Art Institute; of “Candide,” “The Canterbury Tales,” "Beowulf,” “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” “Dreams and Derisions” and “Venus and Adonis.” Original wood block prints and lithographs done by him will be on exhibit all this month at the John Herron Art Institute.
