Australian playwright Elliott skilled novelist When the rich Mazzinis in Sydney, Australia, celebrated the opening of the Harbor Bridge in 1932 they invited a mixed-bag of guests to their mansion to watch the fireworks and to admire the spun-sugar miniature of the bridge on their dining table. And in 1973, the concluding chapter of Water Under the Bridge (Simon and Schuster. 367 pp. J9.95) by Sumner Locke Elliott brings us up to date on what has happened to these people during the intervening 50 years, how much water has indeed gone under their bridge of life. Between his all too rare books, one tends to forget just how remarkably skillful a novelist is this Sumner Locke Elliott, an Australian playwright transplanted to New York in 1948. Careful, He Might Hear You is a memorable account of what the adult world looks like to a child. Edens Lost is a novel about an extraordinary family that sticks fast in your mind. The Man Who Got Away and Going are equally beguiling. At the Mazzini party in 1932 we meet the Mazzinis: Lewis, the father, who had made a fortune in threshing machinery and Mrs. Mazzini (both of them so soon In gunclub checks or glenurguhart checks.

But the persons who came to the party books By WALTER SPEARMAN Water Under the Bridge by Sumner Locke Elliott were even more riveting and they would never quite escape the influence of the Mazzinis, no matter how much water went under their bridges. Neil Atkins was invited to the party because Mrs. Mazzini mistakenly thought he was a friend of her son Ben. An aspiring young actor, Neil was an orphan raised by an outrageously bawdy and remarkably well-drawn retired actress (Shasta is one of the best Tolkien tops the new best seller list BEST SELLERS from United Press International Fiction 1.

Maggie McCihee was an Australian farm girl growing sophisticated through her job as a society reporter. Archie Ewers was there because his mother was the Mazzini washerwoman and he was as obnoxious in his own fawning, opportunistic way as Charles Dickens' famous Uriah Heep. And the pitifully ambitious Flagg sisters would go to any party they were invited to. Neil Atkins' obsessive infatuation for the unresponsive Carrie Mazini kept him from appreciating what Maggie McCihee had to oiler. Some 40 years later they are all back in Sydney: Neil was a successful London actor, but never at the top, Maggie an overweight, frustrated writer, Carrie with her third husband, pet dogs and a taste for alcohol, Archie an unmitigated mess. The years have passed, the water has run under the bridge, the characters we have come to know so well are disillusioned. And Sumner Locke Elliott has written a novel with completely believable persons, has probed their inner selves with compassion, and has encouraged them to reveal themselves convincingly. 0Coma Robin Cook Nonfiction 1.
