The emotional turmoil that made it impossible for him to enjoy life from boyhood on is brought into focus nicely by the author, who spent many months gathering information at the proper sources in Sweden. Much of her material has never been available in English before. The book is not merely one for those interested in the stage, for in other

"IN BEAUTY LIKE THE. NIGHT." A novel. By Lewis Arnold. New York, Bobbs-Merrill, $3. BRITISH novelist Lewis Arnold never has known blindness, but he shows an almost uncanny insight into the mind of a man suddenly deprived of his sight in “In Beauty Like ‘the Night.” This absorbing novel is the story of Wing Commander Alan Folsworth, an RAF flier blinded in the crash of his bomber, and his almost impossible love for a girl he never has seen. . Folsworth was engaged before the accident to lovely Estelle Mayhew, but afterward he found her voice squeaky and her solicitude irritating. -
