'The Canvas Sky'--Great
Novel by David Liebovitz

David Liebovitz has written a
novel of rare quality, and his
publishers, Harcourt, Brace & Co.,
(383 Madison Ave., New York 17)
are justified in hailing "The Can-
vas Sky" as a masterful- book.
"The Canvas Sky" is the story
of the circus, its acrobats, its
trials and tribulations, its joys
and thrills. The author has caught .
the spirit of the performers, and
one is inclined to believe that Mr.
Liebovitz must have lived under
the canvas sky, for only one with
intimate experience with clowns
and heroes of the trapeze and
animal trainers could possibly
capture the spirit of the circus as
well as this author.
Mr. Liebovitz has written a
splendid work and gives promise
of being heard from for many
years in the literary world.
