Lor- ing of Newton Center, Mass., and Jessica Ann Stevens of Southern ‘Pines last week. Daniel Clayton Lewis of Pinehurst and Elizabeth Wiseman of Aberdeen procured the second. Burt’s New Book (Continued from page one) moving novel is so amiably phlloso. phical in its overtonf^s, so optimistic about America and Americans in general. If pessimistic about a pocket, ful of influential Philadelphians, that one turns from it with a renewed con. viction that, in the words of Felix, we may some day be able to take an oath amongst ourselves of mutual assistance, if for no other reason than our common pity that we all are now alive and will so soon be dead ...” Conceding the plot is good, but taking the stand that it is not of im portance, Mrs. Russell in Literary Lantern of the Charlotte Observer re lates: "Here are ideas on many iis- pects of human experience. Love in marriage, love outside niairiage. chil. dren, family and its relationships, so.' ciety, hunger, gluttony^ riches, pov. ’ erty, cities and country life—all these and more are considered seriously and with some originality. It is ap. parent that Mr. Burt has done a good deal of honest thinking, much of which he has put into the book. He also has woven into the fabric n good ly portion of wisdom which comes from wide experience seriously con sidered . . . We confess this is the first of his books we have read. Our intention now is to road others . ■ • ”, The newsmagazine Time was least! favor.Tble toward the book of review's in widely circulated publications. With Time’s not unusual .sarcasm, its reviewer comments: "Maxwell Struthers Burt of Phila delphia iuid Wyoming knows how to write an almost convincing Simula, crum of a first clas.<; nnvel. (Tgrorant Time mentions not Rurt’.<» winter home. Southern Pines I. Self.as.sured but not glib, he re.spects and admires the English language, has a plentiful supply of ideas, puts enough com. plexity and conf'adiction into his characters to keep them from being stereotypes. It i.s like a creation of a culture pearl: an irritant is careful. Iv introduced into the oyster, which I then obediently builds up a globe of, pearly sub.stance, as smooth and; gleaming to the casual glance as the| real thing . . . "Author BiU't is an excellent re porter. and he is at his best in de scribing the Philadelphia phenome non—.the mingled ugliness and beauty of the city, its noble traditions and wasted opportunities and decay, its hindly and brainle.ss aristocrats, the 'veird customs and stately orgies of its men’s clubs, the pa.stronomic peaks of its cuisine ...” As The Pilot was going to pre.ss, it received a communication from Mi.ss Donna Bredbeck, formerly of South, ern Pines, from Port Clinton, Ohio, enclosing a review of Mr. Burt’s new book written by Ted Robinson in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mr. Robinson, like his colleagues further east, l*kes "Along These Streets" and doesn’t mince words saying so: "... I must inevitably hail any new novel by Struthers Burt as an important event in American litera. ture ... I modify none of niy admira tion for the author's style, humor end acute observation. Nor did I need rea.ssurance as to his story telling ability or his power to create credi. ble characters. All these things are apparent in ‘Along These Streets,’ which becomes by their pre.sence a richly rewarding book. Not that some people are not going to be very angry about it . . . Finally, this is not a book about Philadelphia. It is a book about America, by an American.” The Week in Southern Pines Jr. Willing Workers The Junior Willing Workers will meet Monday evening, January 26, at 8 o'clock with Mrs. Bruce Lewis on Bennett street.
