that shabby li^le figure who
could twist your heart and make
you laugh at the same time. And
what laughter: sudden, irrepres
sible, releasing, refreshing! Now
in this carefully written book—
Chaplin rewrote it several times
we have his own account of his
life and methods of work. One
thing that stands out is that the
great films were artistic wholes,
the conception of one man, who
developed an idea into a story,
wrote the music, chose the cast,
directer them and, of course, was
a superb comedian.
The genesis of this unique and
appealing character that won
worldwide affection probably lies
in Chaplin’s childhood. The son
of two English vaudeville artists,
he saw little of his father but
was deeply attached to the gay
and courageous mother wbo
struggled so valiantly to keep a

home for her two small sons,
who could make a party of such
small materials. But sometimes
ends would not meet—^there
were two sojourns in the work-
house—and at times she cracked
under the strain and would be
sent for a period to a mental in
stitution.
Because of the precarious fam
ily situation, Charlie’s profession
al career began early as one of
the “Eight Lancashire Lads,” clog
dancers in the music halls. Other
engagements followed, though
not too steadily at first. When he
was twenty-one, he came to
America with a music-hall com
pany. One night young Mack
Sennett was in the audience and
remarked, “If I ever become a
big shot, there’s a guy I’ll sign
up.” A little later when he form
ed the Keystone Company, he
did. It worked out well for both
men. There was a casual spon
taneity about the way Keystone
comedies were developed that
gave Chaplin freedom to impro
vise. And it was here that the
character of the tramp with his
big shoes and little hat, his bag-
g.y trousers and tight coat first
took form.
There followed a rapid rise to
fame and fortune. Brother Syd
ney came over from England to
be Charlie Chaplin’s business
manager. ’The celebrities of Hol
lywood were his friends. When
he returned to England after ten
years away, there were cheering
crowds to greet him, leading fig
ures of the social, literary and
political world were eager to
meet him. Chaplin makes no se
cret of enjoying this and there is
a good deal of naive pleasure in
finding these grand people so
nice and informal, but under
neath there is still an identifica
tion with the poor boy from Lam
beth and with all those who
struggle with poverty. You also
see Chaplin doing a lot of hard
work on each successive picture
and insisting that it must be
right, whatever the cost in time
or money.
Vaguely one remembers that
Chaplin’s days in America end
ed in some kind of fuss or scan
dal. He faces candidly both the
accusations of the red baiters that
he was “a fellow traveller” and
the paternity suit brought by
that dubious character, Joan Bar
ry. I found his statements both
dignified and convincing. While
“affairs” with several women are
mentioned in the course of the
narrative, and two unsuccessful
marriages, he does not dwell on
sex, disagreeing with Freud as to
its being “the most important
element in the complexity of be
havior.” For the last twenty
years he has been happily mar
ried to Oona O’Neill; they have
eight children and live in
Switzerland.
This seems to me an honest
book and as gently unassuming
as the tramp himself. Chaplin
ends with no bitterness, no ex
hortations, no “design for living.”
We hope the appearance of this
long-awaited book will bring out
a revival of his great films.
ington and two bob-tailed lynxes

Bart and Susan were friends of
Asa’s, and he refuses to believe
the connection is as obvious as it
seems. Aided and abetted by the
good Dr. Cummings, Asey solves
a vary complicated case.

SOMETIMES A GREAT NA
TION by Ken Kesey (Viking
$7.50). This book is for those who
enjoy the challenge of bold ex
periments in the literary field.
The publishers boast that “it has
broken fresh ground and seems
to stand by itself in the splendid
new territory of a gifted writer’s
imagination.”
For the reader who likes his
narrative in a chronological
straight line and always quite
clear as to who’s talking, the
book will be confusing. Kesey
.lumps with breath-taking speed
from one time to another, one
place to another, one point of
view to another. A page or two
may contain the simultaneous re
flections of a sententious labor
Leader in Eugene, Oregon, of In
dian Jenny weaving spells in her
forest cabin, of the Real Estate
Man in Waukinda and of the
main characters, the two sons of
Henry Stamper.
But if the reader will give him
self to the experience, he will
find that Kesey in his own way
is weaving a spell of power and
beauty. The willful, struggling
Stampers come alive in a strug
gle of real significance. Framing
them, shaping them, part of them
are the magnificant Oregon woods
where they log for a living, the
wall of mountains, and the swift
and implacable Wakonda Auga
River to which two generations
of Stampers have refused to
yield, shoring up the foundations
of their house with a tangle of
metal wood, earth, sacks of sand
while the River ate away the rest
of the southern bank.

For those who like light fare,
here is a mystery spiced with
humor and salty characters as
Asey Mayo again races over the

which looks like a museum gone
mad, and not only murdered but
clawed. Missing are Susan Rem-
I N THE midst of personal agon
ies, or swept into a vast public
calamity like a drought or a
flood or a war, the cry goes up
from bewildered souls confused
by pain. What is God doing? He
ought to be here, he ought to take
a hand; where is
he in this hour of
need? This is not
a new question;;
it has no doubt
been asked - ever
since men began
seriously to be
lieve in God. One
wide-ranging an
swer is found, in
Dr. Foreman many places and
eras, in the Old Testament. Proph
ets when asked this question or
any question like it, would not
answer by talking theology or
philosophy; they pointed to his
tory. The God of the Prophets
was no do-nothing God.
God in events
God, the God of the Bible, is
not so remote that you have to
track through eternity to find him.
God is here, God is now. In
ways which no prophet claimed
to explain but which every proph
et believed, God is in events.
What a non-religious person
might see only as an event which
is historical and nothing more,
the prophets see as an act of
God. Samuel, judge and prophet,
in a farewell address pointed out
some of the events which were
divine acts affecting the story and
the fate of the Hebrew people.
One great event was freedom.
“I am the Lord thy God who
brought you out of . the house
of bondage.” Who set the Israel
ites free? A series of regrettable
circumstances, no doubt the Egyp
tians said. The Egyptians were
so far from believing the escape
of their slaves was a doing of
God, that they tried more than
once to re-enslave them. Who set
them free? Moses, you may say.
Certainly there would have been
no freedom without him. Who
was it? “God,” said Moses; “God,”
said all the prophets. The wind
that made the exodus possible; the
survival in the terrible wilder
ness; the whole of the many-
sided, many-chaptered Event, was
God’s story, for it was the doing
of God.
Homeland and king
Another great event, or series
of events making one great- one,
was the settling of the Israelites
in a homeland of their own. This
sounds simple, like “the winning
of the west” or “the second world
war.” Actually it was a long proc
ess, wifli ups and downs, suc
cesses and failures, not just an
orderly process but disorderly,
crude in many ways, a tale of
“blood, sweat and tears.” Yet Sam
uel (typical of other prophets)
gives credit to God. Then just re
cently—that is, shortly before
Samuel’s farewell—these Hebrew
people, aware that more fighting
would be necessary before they
could feel secure in their still un
stable homeland, had elected a
king. Samuel, however, says that
God set this king up for them.
This is remarkable; for Samuel
disliked the whole business of
having a king at all. It shows he
had the rare ability to see the
doing of God in events he him
self did not welcome.
IF...
As of the time of Samuel’s ad
dress, it looked as if God was
not only in history, but in history
very much on one side, the side
of the Hebrews. But Samuel holds
up a red light, a warning sign.
Don’t think that because God has
been for you, in the past, he will
always be for you whatever hap
pens, whatever you may do. It is
possible that God may turn
against you—you and your king.
Notice that Samuel does not say
God will turn against Israel, or
that he will not. The prophet sets
up one word, a might word: IF.
If you (the people, the nation)
will fear, and serve, and hearken,
and not rebel, and follow . . .
then it will be well; but if not,
the hand of the Lord will be
against you. In short, God is in
history, he is a God of action. But
what the action of God will be, he
leaves to the choice of his people.
