Philosophy of ee (Artie, Not George B)

THE TROUBLE WITH CINDERELLA: An Outline of Identity. By. Artie Shaw. New York, Farrar, Straus & Young, $3.75.

By HENRY BUTLER

THERE MAY BE other celebrated popular bend leaders who have hungered and thirsted after wisdom. ! Artie Shaw in THE TROUBLE WITH CINDERELLA, has beaten most of them to. the literary punch.

For while there have been loads of autobiographies (many, if not most of them, ghost-writ-

ten) of jazz and swing musicians, ‘Chambers’ “equitation of intel-|

there have been few, if any, that showed so deep a concern with the meaning of life. Mr. Shaw's name is so legendary that I found myself at first doubting the authenticity of this book, All I could seem to recall of the author, besides clear aural

“Begin the e,” ‘Frenesie” and “Stardust,” was a blur of vague impressions. He was much in the public eye, as well as ear, Just before Pearl! Harbor. Occasionally he’s been in the news

deal more hardship than anyone outside the rugged music business would understand, he finally did achieve “Success” to the tune of 20 or "even 30" thousand net per week. But he found it empty. And he also found himself being forced to play a role he disliked, the role of celebrity manufactured by publicity. There was’ no artistic satisfaction from the music end, since the music had-to be “commercial” (that is, adjusted to the tastes and box-office needs of radio sponsors, booking managers and other business men dominating the music industry. Several times he retired from music to resume his interrupted studies: Extension courses at Columbia, reading, efforts at writing, which last has been a major_interest. I would say here that

in writing certainly have helped make this present book a fine job. It’s clear and persuasive, and sometimes moving, without being maudlin or self-pitying. f J ” s

AN IMPORTANT factor in his shyness as a young boy was the anti-Semitism he ran into when his family moved from New York to Naw Haven. The cruel mean-

proach heaped on him all of a sudden were a traumatic experience, It was dreadful for a child of 8. This self-analytical book, largely an account of Shaw's growth in knowledge and wisdom, should, and I hope will, be supplemented tater by another book covering the same chronological territory entirely in terms of music. Mr. Shaw has a lot to say about what life has done to him. I imagine| he would have a great deal to tell popular music fans about his professional experience.

Mr. Chambers

Whittaker Chambers’ WITNESS (Random House, $5) is getting a tremendous press, as naturally it would. All reviews I've seen call it a great book of our time. The most comprehensive treatment I've seen it given is in the May 24 Saturday Review of Literature, which devotes nine full pages of review and comment to it. Thoughtful readers will want to see that SRL sympeésium, Besides the brilliant and illuminating review by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

there are two pairs of comments|

both pro and con. Comments pro are by John Dos Passos and Rep. Richard M. Nixon, former member of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Comments con are by Charles Alan Wright, assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota, and Richard B. Morris, professor of American history at Columbia University. One point all the reviewers I've seen, including Sidney Hook, professor of philosophy at New York

old-time religion” as a faith, Mr. Chambers, the critics assert,

thinking, all liberal humanism, . The edginess of reviewers and their fastidiousness of expression, lest they risk being identified either with the Chambers side or the Hiss side in this “cause celebre” (probably the greatest thing of its kind since the Dreyfus case), are symptomatic of an extremely jittery society. I hope some reviewers and historians will start a five-year club and a 10-year club to check on the vitality of WITNESS at those future times. Maybe the book will belong right up there with Ben Franklin's and Henry Adams’ autobiographies, as some favor‘able reports now predict. I'm inclined to doubt it myself, but I've guessed wrong in some other instances.
