i I H SUMMER: MICHIGAN DAILY. PAGE ....... THE UMME MICIGANDAIL _AG BOOKS OF THE DAY Summer may be vacation time for most people, but if the summer plans for the publishing houses are any in- dication, it does not hold true of writ- ers. Interesting things are being done this summer in carious parts of the country which will appear in the fall list of new books: Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, author of "Fire under the Andes" will soon be working on a new novel at the Macdowell Colony at Peterboro, N. H. Katharine Anthony, author of "Memoirs of Catherine the Great" and Leonora Speyer, whose "Fiddler's Farewell" was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1926, are already in Europe, working on 'new books. Emory Halloway, author of "Whit- man; An Interpretation in Narrative" has retired to his shack at Meddy-I bemps, Maine, where he is writing industriously and fishing. Emily Clark, whose southern sketches 1 "Stuffed Ueacocks" wil be brought in the fall, is also in Europe hunting for material. WHITTER BYNNER' VISITS NEW YORK His long-promised book of Chinese poems will really be published in 1928. The twenty-fifth reunion of his class at Harvard lured Witter Bynner from his beloved New Mexico; now, he will be in New York for several weeks. Mr. Bynner has announced to his publisher, Alfred A. Kopf, that his book "The Jade Mountain," made up of 311 Chinese poems, which has been announced every year for five years, will actually be ready in 1928, exact- ly ten years after he began the trans- lations. The obstacle in the way of, early completion lay in the difficultyI Mr. Bynner had in conferring with his Chinese collaborator. 1VIr. Bynner tells us that it is easy merely to trans- pose Chinese poetry into English. He 'has tried to be faithful to the origi-G nal Chinese 'both in form and text; 'and it is the polishing process which has taken him ten years-not the translation. "TAMPICO" IS A GERMAN BEST- SELLER "Tampico," Joseph Hergesheimer's latest novel, published in America by Alfred A. Knopf, has just been addedt to a German series entitled "Romane der Welt" ("The World's Novels"), edited by H. G. Scheffauer and Thoin- as Mann, whose masterpiece, "The Magic Mountain," was recently pub- lished by Kopf. The German publish- er of "Tampico" is Knaur, Berlin. ONE OUT OF SEVENTY-EIGHT George Jean Nathan, editor of "The Theater of Today," a modern dramatic library published by the house of Knopf, announces that with the ex- ception of Eugene O'Neill's "Strange Interlude," which unfortunately is not available, he has in the last three months read seventy-eight as yet un-' produced plays without finding one worthy of publication in the series. The seventy-eight plays were of American, English, French, German, and Austro-Hungarian origin. Mr. Nathan's "Land of the Pilgrims' Pride" will be published by Alfred A. Knopf on. September 2nd. NEW "SET" DEPICTED IN "STARLING" Christopher Ward's new novel, "Starling," is possibly the only Ame- rican novel which pictures the "pearl- necklace gang" which goes in for fox- hunting and which is not the typical country-club set. There is a chapter descriptive, in full detail, of the chase and capture of a fox in the gran nmanner, thoroughbred hunters, En- glish hounds, trained huntsmen and whips, pink coats, top hats, etc. Mr. Ward lives in the center of fox-hunt- ing, near Wilmington, and belongs to a hunt club in his neighborhood.

COMMENTS ON OLIVE SCHREI- NER'S NOVEL1 Fannie Hurst says of Olive Schrei- ner's just published posthumous novel: "What a noble book it is! Every once in a'while a piece of work comes along that gives one a brand] new respect for the novel as a me- dium. The* wide ocean of Olive Schreiner's fine humanity and fine wisdom flows unhampered through the story." Margaret Deland writes "It is really tremendous: It violates, as far as I can see, almost every canon of rec- ognized construction in fiction. . . All the same, I read every single word in the soliloquy and in the let- ter, and also in that awfully long, but perfectly beautiful, talk to the child- ren, 'Fireflies in the Dark.' Yes, I think it a remarkable book." 11 1 AE TODAY AND FRIDAY JACK PICKFORD In "EXIT SMILING" It's a Metro Soon "The Waltz Dream".

MAYBE you've spent half your life and fortune on this old hobby-collecting everything from peace-pipes down to the latest "L and Maria" underslung. Maybe you know the pipe encyclopedia from amber Americanus to Zula zuago. But if you're a pipe smoker, you learned long ago that no matter how much a man may know about trick pipes and pipe tricks what he gets out of any pipe depends on what he puts in it. And if you know your tobaccos, you know that any pipe's a sweeter smoke when packed with grand and glorious old Granger Rough Cut... The finest Burley that grows, mellowed Wellman's way and specially cut for pipes. . A man may have a hundred pipes but he needs only one tobacco... and that's Granger. For whether you put it in a meerschaum or a corn-cob, Granger is al- ways the same cool, sweet tobacco.. worthy of any pipe in the world.
